The enlightenment of one.
My name is Jonnie, if that holds any meaning to you, that is probably because you know me. Tonight has probably meant more to me on a phylasophical sense than any other. I spent my night with a friend discussing what it means to be a person, not necessarily a good person, but just a descent human being. I've discovered that well, it's not who you are, but it's Whom youare! I know that won't make much sense, but if you do understand, then you are truly enlightened. I've lived my life, I'm only twenty right now, but I have....
I have felt pain, I've felt anger, jealousy, hatred of another, even love for family and friends, even someone I believe is my future, but I realized, that's not what's important. What truly matters is not really even the understanding of what you felt, just so much as knowing you've felt it and being able to grow upon those past experiences, those future experiences.....and all of the mistakes. I personally have made many mistakes that will change my life forever, and I know that there will be many to come, but as simple as it is....I learned from a line in a movie (fight club) "the ability to let that which does not matter, truly slide" that well..........there were both positive and negative feelings, and consequences to all of that which has happened. But, all that really matters is to take those positive reactions (not neglecting the bad parts) and build yourself a new. You see, every day, you start with a clean slate, there is no wrong side of the bed, it's just whether you choose to enjoy rolling to the right or left (or not). Your life, your future, your past, it all depends on you, your perspective, and whether or not you truly choose to believe, in yourself, your friends, loved ones, or even religion. But try as you might, you won't find one religion that tells you a positive outlook on life, or good deeds will be served with negative reactions.......So, I encourage you, find some time (not too much) to take a look at yourself, a little self reflection never hurt anybody, but a fair warning to you all, don't overlook your life for what it truly is, if you spend your days alone pondering what could have been, or what it going to be...........your life will pass you by, and all those feelings of fulfillment that you're searching for, will be replaced by a feeling of emptiness that will swallow you completely, mind and soul. Eventually, even your body will feel the negative effects of the punishment,, obesity, and depression are just signs of a weak spirit..........by the way, I am not trying to bring you down or destroy any hope that you may endulge, I am simply giveing a warning, that, all you need to do, is think........don't dwell on what you think should happen, a lame bit of wisdom that a friend gave me.........."just let it ride out" if you believe in karma, or destiny, then that should be a bit of comfort, otherwise, I'll say it myself.........EVERYTHING WILL BE OK!
