The All-Life Changing Powers of One Word...Step Right Up and Collect Yours...Going Once...

Yesterday, Mike, Adam's brother, and Gilma, his wife had an extremely huge fight. Like shit being thrown and a whole lotta yelling and cursing. But what the whole argument was based on isn't what is important or relevant here

Don't think too much. When bad things happen and people start thinking, you need to lighten them up anyway you can. I'm thankful that you've done that with me when I have been with you. You're a good guy. Don't worry too much. Just remind yourself to act instead of thinking things out.

"But my point is, such a great mass of power and we're to innocent to know the better of what we're doing. I can see that we, as humans, are destined to fail. We weren't meant for such power..."

Still, we have the will to change our destiny by paying attention to what really is human rather than what is power.

It's hard to actually lighten the situation because it just ends up becoming a pros and cons situation and you can't really help but feel that the cons outweigh the pros. Thanks for the vote of confidence. And in as much as I believe that, "To err is human..." I will always see it as a position of authority that we are given the choice to make right, do wrong, or other. Choice is a power...a scary one.

choice and myths

...and I feel that choice is a myth, a blatant joke or an unrekindeled mystery of God. Do we really have the choice of any decision making from the family we are born in or the family we create, by the partner we commit to, or later be dissatisfied from...I mean whatever. Where is the choice? It's only an illusion - but one that the world operates on. I cannot let my puppets feel dumb, at least not doing their "play" and not to their "playmates". And hence, came forth the concept of choices - the illusion of power that makes these puppets feel significant or unexploited for the fun/entertainment of someone else.

To me it is all PRE-DESTINED! And I will not "decide" if it makes me happy or sad - I'll let the emotion flow without giving effect - at least today, at least for this moment...

Yes, many people can believe that our destinies are "pre-written" and that our lives are planned out already and, I also do agree with the idea that our choice and "free will" looks a lot an illusion. But as far as any of us are concerned, we still have that sense that we are in control of what we do, and that oversight...well...I just can't help but feel like I'm the one controlling what happens each minute.

Thinking things through is one of the things that has brought success or failure to many people's lives. It's hard to do something completely reckless in that sense. That's like taking a step forward and not knowing if the ground is there or instead, there's a gaping hole that you believed was a usual sight. I just wish you'd know the outcomes of choosing whether to, or not. It'd kind be like one of those "Choose your fate" books. I wish you could turn to page 93 after reading page 41, and see what beholds your destiny, and if you didn't like what it read, you could simply go back to page 41 and choose another direction.

I am really interested in where this quote/stanza is taken from...if you don't mind sharing!
Cheers :)
