Chaos
I got to thinking about things today, while I had some spare time(without Steve around!!), and Everything became really blurry to me. The scope of individual actions, the release of words that can not be taken back, the reactions of people to situations that have no baring on them whatsoever; We are a world that lives through other people.
No one can stand on there own, not really. We blame our emotions on things that others do, even though we have the ability to just not react, to shut down the anger and not waste a moment of our short lives dwelling on things inconsequential. It is so much easier to pin the things that we can not control in ourselves on others, that way we are not to blame. Because taking responsibility is too mature for most.
We watch reality on TV now, people looking for love, people doing wild things for money.....and this is how we live. Because we can't take risks of our own in life. It is safer to watch others live while we just sit on the couch and covet.
It really sucks sometimes to have to say that this is the world that I live in, that this is what has become of what once had great potential. We are dying everyday, wasting what is ours and not caring to save it.
I do not surrender my treasures nor do I share them. The fortune of my spirit is not to be blown into coins of brass and flung to the winds as alms for the poor of the spirit. I guard my treasures: my thoughts, my will , my freedom. And the greatest of these is freedom.
I owe nothing to my brothers, nor do I gather debts from them. I ask none to live for me, nor do I live for any other. I covert no man's soul, nor is my soul theirs to covet.
I am neither friend nor foe to my brothers, but such as each of them shall deserve me. And to earn my love, my brothers must do more then to have been born. I do not grant my love without reason, nor to any chance passer-by who may wish to claim it. I honor men with my love. But honor is a thing to be earned.
