So here I am, bored, feeling semi-inspired and wanting to have a place to ramble on and rant like there's no tomorrow (for purely therapeutic reasons of course, not because I'm human and feel compelled to point out everything wrong with everything I see, hear and feel (I could say taste too but there's not allot of food I say no too)...
Anyhow, just throwing this first post out to see how the blog will lay out with actual post and other material... If anything I say offends you, well, that's your $hit as my counselor once told me (and, quite frankly, my $hit would be being ignorant enough to print something that offends, your $hit is reading it and getting wrapped up in it)..
The best rule of thumb I think I've ever learned is this: "Mind your own side of the street" (aka.. Stay out of other people's $hit)... Once understood it really works well.. Think about what you get involved in/with at work alone... The Bureaucracy, the Drama, the Tiffs, the times you think someone is thinking something bad/negative about you? That's ALL their $hit, not yours.. Who cares what they think? Why does it really matter if you think someone is talking down to you? Really, is the Ego that big where you can't just say "Well, that's their $hit, it's not me or my fault they woke up on the wrong side of the bed today".....
We, as human beings, spend way too much time worrying about what he or she thinks or what they neighbors have and what we don't have... But, in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? Some things you can control and others are out of your realm to be able to fix in the way(s) you want... It is what it is.. We are what we are and people will do what they do but that doesn't mean we have to follow in their footsteps...
As Popeye used to say "I am what I am"! It really is a prolific comment (and I'm not trying to be all pretentious like the dialogue of a Dawson's Creek episode).. I am what I am and the flaws I have have to be accepted.. Accepted by me first and foremost... Once I, or anyone else, have fully embraced this way of thinking, I/We cannot grow as human beings...
The hardest thing to do is to accept your own flaws, accept that you have bad personality traits (everyone has a few and they can be all over the map) and do what you can to address these issues and walk away accepting yourself for what you are at the end of the day...
Maybe this is what Zen really is... It's not about a perfect place, a perfect frame of mind... It's about acceptance of one's self and enjoying the life we've been given...
Then again, Satan could be a real entity pulling at out puppet strings every day until we rip ourselves apart at our moral seams... Satan could me us, humanity, as a collective... We may not be here to live and evolve throughout eternity.. Maybe we're suppose to submit to the negative and hate and wipe ourselves off the face of the earth in order to usher in the next line of life to dominate the planet and, maybe, the universe.. maybe we're just a place-holder for the next species.. Maybe we're the dinosaurs of our era and we're not suppose to see things for what they are and what they could be.. Maybe we are Satan and he's not just a concept but an element in the way we think, a genetic flaw given to mankind to keep up from fully inheriting the earth...
I have no idea what the truth is, what the riddle of life actually is.. I won't pontificate on evolution or psychology.. I can only tell you what I feel and what my opinions & experiences are and hope that they are taken with a grain of salt (maybe even have them taken as food for thought to the open-minded)...
What I feel, what I've experienced is what I know.. Doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it wrong.. It's what I consider the essence of me, what I am and what I believe..
Enjoy!
