Living Your Choices

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

This is redundant of course, but original thoughts are so rare.

Redundant I say because the themes I establish here are all interconnected, to a truth based accountability and responsibility approach or observation of fact way of life. Like I said, all evolutions end in the same place, truth.

So here I am talking about not only that living how we live is in fact living our choices, but we are making those choices based on our true values. Sometimes it’s surprising how much we do without thought but with a little consideration we can say that that is what we really wanted, or as the whiners are wont to do, claim that we are feathers in the wind, leaves floating on water, at the mercy of fate, at the mercy of others, victims, and so on.

The theme here is that, yes, we are choosing. You’ve heard not making a choice doesn’t mean you didn’t make a choice, rather that you may have made a bad choice. Or accidentally a good choice, which really isn’t an accident.

The toughest part, truly, is being true to yourself. And I say this lightly because I wouldn’t be philosophizing if I had this difficulty, but I see others constantly doing what they claim they want but they don’t and they won’t fess up and head down that road calling to them.

Oh well, whatever, never mind.

Unraveling

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

This isn’t a reference to that book about the unraveling of the United States economy and the beginning of the end of Imperial America.

This is a reference to the perceived out of control feeling one can get when one is mythically multi-tasking and attempting to do things that one does not really desire.

Inspired by Devin Castles during a conversation I decided to write a piece about making a plan and not sticking to it, or the feeling of unraveling we experience when things go awry. But I never really have that problem. So I can only observe and base some comments on experiencing something similar but not to any real extent. When you see that nothing has meaning the difficulty is in giving a crap about anything not losing your mind when you lose control because you always have control, are always in control, and above all, always see yourself from outside yourself so what are you to do? What are you to do to while away the days? Why? Why not?

So when all unravels, come back to the mind and take a break and realize, you are in control, real, not imagined, and you can and are doing whatever, whatever, whatever you want.
