Yes we can smile and pretend every is O.K. and sure you can fool a lot people by doing that, but why would you want to ??? I mean I still do that once in a while... it's a bad habbit and every I do that I feel worse afterwards. I hear from all the councilers that I have to interact with smile you will feel better, fake it until you make it and other dribble like that. Well it is not all dribble it has been proven that smiling does make feel better, but it is only temporary. I believe the grocery list of health problems I have had through-out my life can be traced back to all the shit I didn't talk about. ( ulcers, kidney stones, gall stone so big had to have whole gallbladder removed, musle strains from just getting out of a chair, Cancer ect...)You need to learn to take bad feelings and embrace them, learn from them and deal with them so you can get on with your life and you can't do any of that unless you talk... talk your ass off. when something is bothering you. The more you let it out the less you can hold in. that is less stress and emotional flotsom that can punch holes in your hull. I know it is not easy. you will turn people away, but they asked you. If they were just trying to be polite, ask them how polite is it to ask a question when they don't want a real answer.
Words unexpressed is a crime that people commit all to often. SAY WHAT YOU MEAN AND BE MATURE ENOUGH TO TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS. Why are people such cowards? Have you ever missed the opportunity to tell some one how you feel? I have more than once. Family and friends have died and I will never know if they knew how much I loved them and that is a pain that will never go away.
Everyday life's challenge surrounds us, yet life is good as we struggle and emerged triumphant because life is beautiful after all. Sure every day LIFE challenge's us life is not always good if it was we would never know we would have nothing to compare it to. we don't all struggle and come out triumphant. We do all struggle in our own way. I have struggled more than a lot of people that I know, but I know that there are millions of people that have had it worse than me. I than God when ever I can for the intestinal fortittude he has given me through suffering. I believe that no one is giving more than they can handle. I also believe that there are too many that don't want to try. Guy puts gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger because his lover left him? What does it do for him? It does not get back at them for causing him pain it just ends his opportunities at life. Person becomes a junkie because they don't like their reality. how lazy is that? Instead of getting off their ass and doing something positive (God forbid we all know how hard it is to make an effort) They stick a needle full of drugs into themselves. Is it to much work to think of the people your actions affect. Is there no conscious anymore? Now I don't think personally I will be triuphant until it is over and they have scattered my ashes. I will get through all the challenges until the last one. I truly think I am on this earth for a reason. I touch peoples lives everyday mostly in a positive way. I say mostly because I am not perfect by a long shot. I am human with all my frailties and my flaws, but I do make a concerted effort to do good things for other people and sometimes... Well most of the time it the little things that will make a difference in people's lives. Holding open a door for someone. Letting someone go in front of you at the market when they only have a couple of things ( are we really in such a rush we can't extend what used to be common courtesies) What a crap world this has become. I live in what is supposed to be the greatest country in the world but even such a simple statment like " it takes a village to raise a child" you have to go to a 3rd world country where don't have clean water or food to see that in action. I live in a country the I pledged my life to I offered to die for the most selfish country in the world. What was I thinking? My Grandfather fought in WW2 for the U.S. when he was 16 and after that in Korea to help liberate oppressed people He never talked about and never acknowledged the fact he was a hero and he will never know the pride I feel for what he did. His america was different... people had morals, they helped their neighbors and They had a way of life that was worth fighting for. I am embarrassed at how people in this country are now. Shame on you if you can't take the time to do something for someone else out of the kindness of your heart .Where you will get no personal gain ( except what you will feel in your heart) Shame on this money grubbing, selfish, would rather step over you than help you up society. Sorry I'm on a rant, but doesn't it bother you that your neighbor is more likely to let his dog crap on your lawn and not pick it up than help you fix your roof or paint your fence or put a band-aid on your kid's scraped knee? I know that is not the way it is for everyone but the majority of people are asses that are just looking out for themselves. What did our fore fathers fight and die for??? Don't ask me how I got here in this blog. My mind is a whirlwind of thoughts I may have gone a little crazy from the heat.
