Often times, the outcome of a game is more predictable than the human heart. What fails us, is not the action nor inaction of the person, but rather, our own expectation(s) of the person. Then, it is like a switch almost immediately that one does not hold onto resentment because of all the cultivation of peace turned on, and stopping it from spiraling downward any further. Then, the sense of self-love and self-preservation wakens you to the ideal of the pursuit of peace, a moment where time stands still and everything is crystalizing in its essence, and why did it happen in the first place? Because that is where it starts, and where it possibly ends; and that is fine, and that is sufficient.
Then, to the man in the mirror, i told him, thank you, for being around. thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. And then, he gave me a smile; one that is slow, warm, unexaggerated, one of gratitude, one of love. You are really only going to get them from yourself and no one else.
A new day has begun.
