In a perplexing twist of fate life handed me leap ahead - a moment of clarity if you will. While I ponder on it, I will make adjustments to ensure the goodness infront of me and past behind me all align.
I was a timid kid, who slowly grew up to be an adventurer. Yet my flaw was not looking at other people in the same way. Offering the grace of honesty and affection without looking for something in return was never realized by me. I realize now that people could practice ethics without expecting things in return.
I relay this story to inspire others to be genuine and kind. I learned later on that this was the better way to live. Simplicity and its merits are large. Where this is complexity there is greater chance of something going wrong.
It’s largely unfair how we all have different start positions or that capitalism ingrains life as a race. But once you go beyond it a little and simply observe life all its secrets fall into your lap.
People talk, probably animals too and that’s great but what about the silent ones? They withhold judgment which is a remarkable quality, unlike the quantifiable social media system we have today. I only briefly met such people as I am a chatterbox and I suppose that dissuaded them, but as I age I want to enhance my actions and less my speech.
In the future I hope to inspire others to interfere less with the earth we are blessed with, value the time they share with others and leave all the bullshit aside. I found victory when I confronted my fears, but that’s for another post. I also feel our most authentic selves are shown before our teen years and if you can save that through adulthood, you have truly won.
Onwards.
