With all sections of my life I have been standing back every so often and asking myself, "What are you doing?"
What am I doing?
Self destrustion. Lies. Fun. Random. Betrayal.
And why?
Control. Fear. Boredom. Mirth.
But really...
It's just life.
Life in it's entirety. The messed up, twisted, deplorable things we do for amusment.
And the meaningful, kind and beautiful things we do, because our hearts tell us to.
Such is life.
what are you doing....? is a great question..
ReplyDeleteevery being need to reflex upon ones self and reevaluate their Values Morales path in life, and judge accordingly.
are you leading the path we want to? is the way we are living going to take us and MAKE us the person we hope to be?
how do others view our accomplishments and life paths? yeah its not as important as how we view them BUT by knowing how others in a whole... not just on individual (by taking the opinions of the mass we cut out "MOST not all" independent variables)
Emily...

your SO bounteous when it comes to Love and Compassion for others.. that i feel sometimes it... not cloud.. but influinses you to make choices that are not in YOUR best intrests.. which is a rare quality in humans.. BUT its also a deadly loanly flaw.. you know I know this more then most..
IF YOU DONT keep Number ONE in mind and protect who you are as a person and protect the fibers that make EMILY then your NO good to anybody and you have lost the ONE thing that makes YOU EMILY, ALSO you have lost or given away the gifts you have been given that HELP others around you..

P.S.
Why do you never mention what i reply to your blog entry when we talk?
It take the night to make it dawn.
ReplyDeleteAnd it takes a day to make you yawn, brother.
And it takes some old to make you young.
It takes some cold to know the sun.
It takes the one to have the other.
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
ReplyDeleteand remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
