Imperfection Makes Us Perfect

I recently spoke to a new friend and they said something I immediately decided to steal and use for a blog entry. They said "We're young we're allowed to make mistakes" The statement was something many people lose sight of, including myself... however I would change only one word to make this perfect " We're HUMAN we're allowed to make mistakes" as time passes people traditionally come to the belief that they are older more intelligent they are better at what needs to be done, etc... etc... Though this may be the case, the self-destructive tendency I have seen in some people when they become older is not necessary, nor are the impurities or imperfections we have as teens or children. No matter the age of any individual we must remember What we are, and who we are comes in part from our problems and mistakes, the more powerful the forces against us, if we manage to weather the storm, we can come out better. The many imperfections that we have as everyday people make us Unique and the mistakes help bring us closer to perfection. We can only reach our best after we have survived our worst.

Is It Hell Will Pass Eventually ? Or Will Hell Pass Eventually ?

Every person goes through a time period of unmitigated stress and pain, normally it passes on the physical, emotional and/or mental levels of the individual. Many people who go through this time period or process don't expect it to happen when it does, but even when a person is best prepared it normally it wreaks havoc on them/their life, those close to them feel the effects whether or not they know it, sensing their withdrawal, unhappy because they have no way to help or contribute to the solution. In these moments when the world around us is darkest and out lives are at a standstill we must choose, either to persevere or to fall apart. It isn't known exactly how many people have been here on Earth or how many more will come, but at this point in life, this standstill, the moment where we are free to choose what happens from there on, Our Own Moment Of Judgement, it happens to each and every person, and the outcome of the event helps to show us who we are at heart and forever shape us.

The Fight For Success

Success is measured in multiple different ways, each one for a different facet of life, monetary to spiritual, each person may have their own goals and views on how they wish to succeed. Personally success on a life scale is to have done all you could and at the greatest ability level you have, when people stand against you, to have continued fighting for what you need or want. Philosophically success has been deemed by some to be unachievable, but to each his/her own, our lives all take different paths and the answer to whether or not success is attainable sits at the end of them

2011,2012, End of the world Or....No

Many people have been speculating as to whether or not the end of the world is fast approaching, helping to feed fire to the frenzied flame have been multiple media outlets (movies, books, t.v. specials and series) focusing on the topic of our destruction and how it will come about. Both religious communities, atheists, and agnostics...people from all walks of life.believe that it will occur either in 2011 or 2012, One group of people has gone so far as to sell and/or leave all of their worldly possessions as well as families behind; getting into mobile homes and driving across the country spreading the news that the end of the world will begin with the rapture on May 21. With all of this excitement over when the world will end, some people are becoming panicked and fearful, shut-ins to the rest of society, I personally don't think the world will be ending in this or next year and have to state an obvious fact. If the world comes to an end what can people do about it ? The fear and hate and excitement and puzzled beliefs, are all for naught. If you have lived a good life and think that there is an afterlife, then you can do nothing more, and if you think that world will end and nothing else happens, why not go live to the fullest. In a nutshell things are like this, if the world comes to an end on any date in the next few years than you have done what you wanted or feel you've needed and if it doesn't than you can keep living life just the way you have. There is nothing more/less to do for people to change the fate of all of humanity so doing what you can for yourself and those close to you should be your focus.

At Our Edge & What We Do When Pushed There

During our everyday lives we are rarely brought to a point where we think that we've hit the edge, our limitations for emotional, mental, or physical stress. However when we are driven to those point we normally only have 2 options, we either fail terribly and fall apart, or we excel past our old limits, becoming a stronger individual sometimes even happy for the experience occurring. What is it that decides what we will do when we get to these points, is there some deciding factor internally buried deep inside of us, or is just something spur of the moment that happens. Does our life background help us to choose, or is it that our environment and/or past nurturing has no affect on us at these moments. Before any conclusions are drawn up remember that during some of the darkest days in humanity, common citizens of each age and gender have stepped forward to answer the call, yet at other times it seems only people with specialized experience can handle the pressure in stark situations. A simple yes or no will never be satisfactory as an answer to what makes us choose who we are in those moments, since who we are in these moments almost always has a resounding effect on our lives and normally the lives of others as well.

Quick Life Reflection

What makes you who you are, what defines you as a person ? Do your actions reflect what you want or the wants/needs of others ad if so how do you reclaim your life.

Our Inner Demons

We have, since the beginning of mankind, been plagued by demons; new names and religious titles have been delivered to them , but in the end they are always the same. Each of these demons exists in the world around us waiting, in every wide open space down to any and all corners that we live in. Demons are forces that reside within us, there is nothing we can do to change that, it is an impossibility, and to an extent they are almost a necessity. They are a part of the hunger and determination, behind every Forbes executive, they are in the eyes of each athlete who competes for their country in the Olympics, in every domestic dispute and alcoholic street fight that happens. The most important thing for us to remember is that though we cannot escape our demons, we can learn to tame them by way of moderation, so as to not allow their negative qualities shine through us.

Being Caged & the Pursuit of Ourselves

I thought to myself recently, where is freedom in our modern society ? Is it even possible to be free ? We trap and cage ourselves, chaining our hearts, minds, and souls to material possessions, and we do so without a second thought as to how our actions are really affecting us. Even people who are free of these possessions are still nailed to reality firmly with routines of their lives. Wake up, clean ourselves, work, come home, add in eating times as needed. This has many different variations, but at its core is the same outcome, men and women conditioned to walk along the exact same path as those before them without a second thought as to why they are doing so aside from a drive to excel at a particular field of life. How often is it that you wake up and think to yourself Why is it that you were placed on earth, at your core what were you meant for ? We walk through life, much of the time hectically,shooting past people, places and once in a lifetime opportunities without a second glance, eager to continue doing exactly what we've always done, follow the same rutted path that we have worked towards for years, and once we have achieved our goal of getting to that pathway of life we only continue to drag ourselves through it, making the ruts in the ground deeper. Like animals stalking about in their cages, we partake in little to no further existence then than the one we know. I write all of this hoping that maybe one day someone will stumble upon it and slow down long enough to actually view the world around them, to see nature, truly experience their actual emotions, and realize the life that we normally rush through taking for granted has many more pieces to it. Deeply rooted in all of us is the desire to become a part of what most no longer understand, a desire to fulfill ourselves, to break away from the chained existence of our possessions and routines and become more than a background piece in life.

Defining Philosopher

How do you define what a philosopher is specifically, would you say it is a man or woman, intent on reinforcing the knowledge and ideologies of the current way of thought commonly used throughout the world, or would you expect it to be seen as someone who is introducing new beliefs, who breaks away from the mold and refuses to conform to the standard around them, many people have their own definition of a philosopher, but I personally use the latter stated as a base and think that if the person feels the need to reinforce some of the more radically themed ideas in society, than that is their choice as an individual and free minded thinker. We are all entitled to our opinions on the matter, state yours if you have one.
