Silly me has let a trash can's existence go to waste as it sits next to my desk carrying random items that I've shoved in it. Every now and then over the past few months I've had-- no shit, _trash_ and nowhere to put it and thought; my, my, if only that trash can didn't have all that other crap in it, then I could actually use it as a trash can!MBF ( Read more... )

on the paradoxes of wishes onfeynyuan_shen January 1 2006, 13:23:25 UTC

There were times when I thought long and hard about wishes...what I would wish for, in what order, how to save some ... well, I didn't think as hard as I'm making it sound now, but yeah... more than normal people probably have any reason to... it lead me to some interesting ideas however... from philosophy ( ... )

It's been said that...it's not the destination sometimes, but the journey that is important... and I think this makes things a bit more clear, too, summarizes things... we need to try and go somewhere, to set goals, to move in life, but sometimes your goals change, and sometimes, you reach them, and need new ones... being somewhere is valuable, but in life things aren't meant to stand still, I think ... so the process of the evolution of the soul, one might say, might be one goal... self-discovery that leads to getting what you -really- want more (or knowing what things that you are getting that are actually best for you, which is not always what you -want- (perhaps if you don't know what's best for you?)) and in this self-discovery, a big part of the process is simply, learning what questions to ask. Another very old idea; sometimes, the question is more important than the answer - asking the right things, that will lead you to an understanding of a problem, yourself, and the world, when you finally do find the answer, rather than ( ... )

Oo...I finally read the whole thing! (yay xDD!)
Thanks for replying :3 I'll check out that entry of yours...Celestine Prophecy? What's that? -never heard of it-

My rant wasn't meant to be so very philosophical...xP I mostly had shooting stars and birthday candles in mind when I wrote it. I just get irritated with the widespread idea that 'tomorrow is a better day' since 'tomorrow never comes', y'know? I want people to make today a better day and understand why I try to enjoy myself everyday and not just prepare for the future...-making excuses-

I think discipline is something that's taught to one by one's educators, oneself, and through training. Some people seem to be innately disciplined and others force discipline to fit their personality for the sake of something...However, discipline isn't well taught in today's society the way it used to be. I don't really care who's to blame, but I do wonder how i.e. teachers expect students to just 'pick themselves up' with tips such as SMART (don't get me wrong...great tips and all, but it's not like it's new information for me x.x ( ... )
