An Arrangement

Feb 02, 2009 16:52

Early yesterday morning I was heading to my shelter as usual. 22 below zero, it was blazing cold for me: the sleepless night right before wasn't even the last straw. I badly needed to light on some decent flowers for someone I sonly love for whatever it costs. Major flower shops I tried earlier proved to be kicking good for exotic species - that's ( Read more... )

Yes, and it's meant to be something far more profound then just being nice to people, observing consumer culture banalities or following the accepted standard of speech. What I really like most of all about it, is the power of creation, of being the first to start and make a drastic change. When combined аnd lovingly interrelated with what's behind, when done outwardly - it just has to be integral to really work marvels.

But when all is said and done, it's time to choose: how far to go. I mean everyone has to be pretty level-minded about it. That particular flower girl wasn't actually my first priority in that case. But I feel really in position to approach complete strangers when necessary: it has to come down upon me. Sometimes it's left entirely up to me: how strange those strangers will still remain - so vulnerable they are. I have to admit people are mostly insecure about that: they don't actually seem to know their limits. And that sure serves as the basis of their poor life quality. They are longing for a randomized hallo yet fail to establish a beneficial social contact, merely a no-strings productive interpersonal bonding. What types are there in your neck of the woods?

I'm not sure I got you on the "limits and poor life quality as a result". Is it the lack of contact making skills to blame for the poor life quality, you say?

Once on their own, he or she is naturally entitled to making the most of their contact list and social ties as they please. A sound and sensible person is originally very able to choose his or her associates. We pick a soul mate of ours out of dozens, thus detеrmining our life quality: what we are and where we prone to belong. That's how our self-concept, entourage, status and the very way we follow further on are formed.

Meanwhile, someone else is coming around, making the first step. It's a good idea to keep in mind we are not the one-and-only, we are to be chosen or not really, we are to be subjected to a choice of someone else out there anyway. That's purely a subject objectivity thing as far as being ready for The New is concerned. The trick is to gang up what is ours with what is coming around. To take off the blinders and keep on knowing your limits - that's the catch.

Well, I think it's the only way things can be done. We always end up with "what is ours" at that particular moment. So yeah, being conscious about your choices seems to be a good solution.

Word up! Luckily, there is a mighty problem-solving remedy for such 'ours vs. new' cosmic conflicts. And it proved to work out real smoothly.

Oh come on... It's all here, it comes 'as is', there's nothing new under the sun. Can't you think of what I'm talking about?
