The trials we face from day to day are grueling, even if that time is spent doing something we enjoy. If we still have energy at the end of the day, then the chances are good that that day was spent with a less than mentality. This could occur for us decorated in many ways. One way this can manifest is having some sort of job any monkey can do. Most jobs are like this, yet we always find a way to slide inside ourselves and wonder, wonder about something else that may be better. But we get far too comfortable in our placation and comparisons to make the necessary moves.
It is more of a trial to be someone who wonders than it is to be someone who believes the words and uses them in advantageous ways that benefit all parties involved. We face trials all the time, but what we need to do is use our senses, our guts, and our feelings to meander our way through this place we call home. Time is much better spent in the idea that something can be only if it is done with passion. Passion drains us and heals us at the same time where there is nothing left at the end of each day but reflections and future opportunities of the same. LLc 98.2

silent necessity

One of the worst kind of people on the planet are those who believe they are smart; a gift perhaps. Well, the only thing smart about us is the fact that we now have the capability to communicate globally. Forget about the ritualized performances we give each day as we fail to communicate with one another. No, we have transitioned our way into a land that has people who believe everything they see on television. Repeating what is heard on the tube makes no Rachel Ray out of you.
Television is nothing more than a market-place. To gain knowledge from T.V. is the same as gaining knowledge from an infant. Unless those claiming to have knowledge read something; experience something, or witness something that is stunningly spectacular, then their knowledge was gathered by someone who did one or all of these things. Smart people never say they are, they just are. Just as the man who does but does not speak, so too are the one's who remain in silence as a necessity to claim their prize.

stretching the same, down way down

People often say, "I do the best I can." This of course is an untruth but we use it anyway. We use a lot of things to get along in this world and most of them are completely untrue. We weigh our options and select the best avenue to wreck on. Once we have chosen our path, any deviation seems so unreal and unpromising. Doing the best you can is not possible; there just is not enough time in the day.
So we settle for things and placate to those we desire not to placate too. We wind up spending time with people who seem to have the same stretch of road as we do while making mental comparisons along the way. In our settlements we find the time to tell ourselves how well we are doing. But in reality we have closed off any possibility for changes to occur in any meaningful way. We become used to our ways of deception and make inner claims to ourselves that give reasonings to our immobility.
We don't do the best we can. If we did the economy would be flourishing and you would be better off than you are now-we all would. LLc 98.2
