Dear Diary

[darkest_diary]

I have been thinking of things as we enter the holiday season. A lot of people are lonely this time of year. Not everyone has a beautiful loving family to go home to. Not everyone has friends that keep in touch with them both near and far. Not everyone gets along with their relatives. For some people this is it. The internet is their friends and

You know..I completely agree with your point about the holidays being a tough time for some. I'm grateful that despite the hardships I had with my family that they still provided me with what I needed; although I rank emotional support higher than material (the emotional is what I was lacking from them), obtaining a home, water, and food is not easy at all.

Maybe we could organize a group chat or something where people can drop in? I'd be down to spread some e-love :).

I find that people who have purposely screwed me or someone else over usually has some pretty bad shit happen to them. Karma maybe, I have seen enough of that happen to think something is at work there.

I've been very upset with people for the bad stuff they have done to me, especially getting screwed over in relationships and friendships, I think everyone has been there. I never take revenge.

I try to let it go, not always easy, but then I find out how life treated them after what they did, and it has always been rough for them. Maybe it's karma, or maybe if you keep screwing people over you stop having people to depend on, and that is why the bad things happen to bad people.

So have I, yes.

I did once, and it taught me a lesson I'll never forget in how effective this shit can be, and how outcomes can be much more severe than actually intended. So I learned to be careful. It's not something I like to talk about in semi-public, though.

that is why the bad things happen to bad people.

I don't use the word karma (since it refers to things in the next life, if there is such a thing, not this life), maybe retribution or something. It happens, but when I look at the people I know, bad things happen to good people more often, and usually the bastards get off scott-free.

I think sometimes life is some type of divine comedy, especially when the bad things are happening to me. I am certain whatever deities, or powers that be that are running this game of life are laughing their asses off at me for more then half the time. When I get my clothing stuck on stuff, or drop something or trip. When I get caught in traffic with someone who is arguing with me. Even when serious bad shit happens I know I am being amusing to someone.

If I was watching myself in a movie, I would be laughing my self silly screaming "Oh No!" as yet another misfortune bombarded the protagonist. I would feel sorry for him, and want him to have a happy ending, in fact I would be certain he will get that happy ending, he is going to have a lot of funny moments in this life comedy, and he is going to have a lot of tragic moments that turn out to be funny in their own way, even if they have to be viewed from afar.

Maybe I am just an optimist.

Sounds like my life too - haha! And the most recent thing? A day before Christmas Eve, my modem decided to give up the ghost. Normally panic would ensue, but I had a spare in the garage, hooked it up and configured it. But normally this would be me running around like a hysterical chicken. LOL

I don't think anything or anyone really controls our lives, I think we have free will, which has a "shit happens" clause, but we control our lives. At least when it comes to our reactions and actions. Free will and control from an outside source cancel each other out, and I believe in free will, to make mistakes but also to have successes.

I think we are here to live. Maybe entertain. Maybe be alive in the only way that the universe knows how to be alive. I think if something was out their controlling us it would lose the whole perspective of 'living'. I think we are supposed to live.

Whatever we chose to do with that life, how we chose to be, that is up to us. I think it is the core of our individuality that is the divine. Each of us our own piece of divinity, moving in our world, by our perception.

Whatever you want to call that divinity, even if it's science. Each individuals perception is their own reality. I agree, it is our free will that makes us who we are.

[beauty_forashes]

Totally agree with all of this. :)

I would have no idea how to start a group, or get people to join. I do know I am going to let my friends on Facebook, and here, and other websites know I'll be around off and on if they need that chit-chat. An online group is a great idea. Something to think about starting up maybe.

I have a lot of friends going through some rough patches right now. For some reason those rough patches seem to way heavier on people this time of year, then if they had the same problems in say mid-March. I think it is because everyone is supposed to be joyful and together, and not everyone can do that.
