Where to now?

Adversity really teaches you a lot about loneliness. And that's one place you don't want to be in. Ofcourse, apart from being helpless.

Both of those places are full of learning's. Things you should be able to do without.

Pearls without a necklace

Some stuff I came across:
---------------------------------------------------------------
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Growing old is mandatory, growing wise is optional
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cynicism is the smoke that rises from the ashes of burned out dreams
---------------------------------------------------------------
May you always have love to share,
Health to spare,
And friends that care.

Idle thoughts

Higher standards can always be better standards, but the best cannot be bested again.

What does success really mean? Where does happiness really come from? Is it a hug from a loved one which makes you forget all things wrong in your life? Is the unmouldable stand you take against everything and everyone which gives you the strength to stand straight and look in the eye while talking? Do you find peace in everything you do and be content or do you stay incomplete trying to search for an elusive concept you are not sure of?

Rain drops fall on the beautiful hills in front filling in the small man made dam and its artificial lake on this amazing evening. Do I really need to be here to marvel at the connection with nature naturally occurring in every soul? If I can find peace and happiness within myself, why does the heart yearn to get away from it all?

The decision to be aloof, helps being grounded and stable keeping away the moping desire to wallow in pity. What that also means is that you'll never be ecstatic or jump with happiness! If you want to keep away the tears, you gotta give up on the laughter.

Good and bad things keep on happening and you wont feel a thing worth any consequence. That's the price to pay for being mediocre. That's what you get for being a zero stuck between the + & - infinity. That's what the mind does. Kills the desire of the heart in its entirety. Makes you a conscious living being with no consequence to life. Like a tree maybe. Except, even trees have a conscious, which has a consequence.
