To be more human than human...
To be wonderful...... To be more human than human
to shed tears rather than splinter shields with stained swords
to fight with his mind that which ails his soul, and all others
to put one before many and none before some
to live selfless and selfish to his causes until they consume him
to have everything in life by having nothing in life
to be a hero.
Me...
I am faulted and critical of myself and others
I am faulted in the sense that I want the best for people and sometimes I go about it wrong
I am vengeful at times and calm, collected and compassionate at others
I am can be gentle or I can be ruthless
I am as fragile as an egg but as rugged as a diamond
I am aspiring to do good but in that I often do bad
I am ashamed when I have wronged and at times too concerned with being right
I am forward and acting in attempting to fix mistakes
I am kind and considerate but also selfish and stubborn
I am human and also not perfect
not that it excuses it, but often when I reflect upon my actions (both good and bad) I like to remind myself that. strictly speaking I am a very capable person at a vast skill set and I say that with no ego, it's just the truth. I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to, but still I'm just human. Just meet and bone and biological hardware and software (and maybe a soul) just like everybody else. Sometime I just get down on myself for wanting to just be better... better always better, always making improvements. I feel a moral obligation to be the best person now that I am capable of being, and sometimes I can take that good intention and turn it bad. It's a slippery slope and I know my moral compass and ethics will guide me in the right direction but sometimes I still just stress about it. The world deserves a better Ryan Downs.
Metacognition is a bitch
