Have you ever looked into the etymology of words? To see how they became what they are and where they originated from? Perhaps you even got a sense for how everything was structured into a form even those things that exist without form. The truly astounding nature of the World we human beings qualify and the quantities which lay within the boundaries of those qualities. Pure awe. The magnitude.

Stop. Think about people. Think about the people that defined these words. Consider their backgrounds & what led them to being the person they were. Why the characteristics (that became dominant and socially recognizable) developed. Pay attention. This is very intriguing if you know why you are paying attention to it. With this you can reverse manufacture success in every sense of the word. Okay. Some people and maybe even most people will be hard pressed to care, I mean "life is real", out in these streets. However, for those un-jaded by the stressors of a life, you know that what I'm alluding to is the greatest import of self acknowledgement.

As individuals, we make choices. Some of these choices produce a bad effect. To this bad effect we have custom tailored excuses as to why things went poorly. This of course, makes very little sense to those outside of us, unless, they relate to our little white lies of keeping ourselves culpable to our actions. Again, it doesn't matter if you were a good kid that got chopped down in the middle of doing what you felt you were supposed to do or if you were a vile person doing the worst things you've ever felt the need to do. A choice for that action was made already knowing what your geography would be like even when you did not know the geography.

If you are tossed into water, you have no choice but to struggle for your life as best you know how. This view is more of an absolute and definitely not for people who get caught in their emotions. Sink or swim. How you feel about it does not matter in the least. And spouting emotional discharges about recklessly will only further enslave you to the limits of your mindset.

As a rule, assume your perspective is flawed unless you are a professional with every reason to resort to your credentials on the matter. The "average" person isn't "nutrient dense" enough to understand the refined nuance behind many of the professionalized theories that they so often feel free to spread and bastardize with ignorant zeals.

This is more than a know what you are talking about article of thought. This is more than a shut your mouth article of thought. This is more than an attempt to understand the World the way it is. This is a key in a chain of keys that open a set of doors on a path to enlightenment.

Take this message from what was written even if you cannot see this as the topic of this article: What happens in life is not what makes life hard; the hands you are limited to playing do not suck; and no matter the hardships you encounter, these are only hardships because of one thing...how you feel about it.

Once you remove the emotion from the situation then enlightenment is possible. Not like a forced removal; not like an angry discarding of it in response to heartbreak but of a natural thirst for betterment and intellectual curiosity.

Not that this is new to anybody. This is in religious text. Not that people will adhere to it because it could easily take a lifetime simply to grasp how one may go about achieving such a lofty perspective. Especially given that others can neither recognize or respect such a process. Socially, this is almost a reason to find disgust in an individual. Maturity comes at the sacrifice of a freedom. Though, you relinquish one freedom for another. One door closes and another opens. Recognize the risk in your every decision and understand that things just happen. Dreams are crushed. This World isn't based on good or bad but coincidence and flow. I do not even believe in coincidence. That is the biggest joke of all.

And that is my love for now.
