I'm watching the news and the only things that are on are guns, murder, and politics. The news is all bad. But we have no choices. If we want to "stay informed" we have to watch or read some form of news. I wonder how much money is made from the news? That's what it's all about, money and money only. But what does the news do to affect someone's world-view? The news could be "a" breaking point in the life of someone who is teetering on the breaking point.

All of our assets, everything we have owned and known in our entire lives stays right here as an imprint only of what once was. We can't even take our credit score with us. We are talking about an average of 75 years versus an eternal life. where is your money? I often hear people say these kinds of things and they may have a point. But I believe their reasoning, in cases such as this one, is false. That said, a belief in a higher being is legal. It is the reason many of us wake up in the morning and put in a hard days work. I see nothing wrong with believing in a "god," but there is a problem when that belief system is shoved down people's throat over and over again. 

One of the easiest things in this world to do is to sit on the sidelines while other people play, for example, on television or in the movies. I mean, these people are living out Earthly dreams and desires. In our eyes it is all one big movie and they are the stars of the show. It is almost as if we, as a whole, are sitting on the sidelines in our own lives knowing full well that we can improve in many ways.

We sometimes get injured during our lives. I'm not talking about physical injury. I am talking about the kind of injuries that occur within the mind. Maybe it steals your confidence or makes you feel bad about yourself. These are healable wounds. In time these kinds of wounds do heal, but they leave a mark on the inside and serve as reminders that it is possible to be injured. This is part of the human experience.

I find myself repeating myself every day. I am beginning to get myself into my own way. I am thinking too much and acting too little. But I feel that in order for me to be successful I would have to act. I hate acting. I feel comfortable alone. At the same time, I miss a lot of beautiful things. But each day I get a spectacular sunset.

I often hear people say they're bored. I get bored from time to time. But does that mean that certain lives are really boring? Well, if you suffer from depression, days can turn into weeks and months of boredom and depression. It is a cycle that is difficult to get away from. In time they say it will get better. Well who are they to say anything about depression and being bored? These are the kinds of people that say, "Get over it!" There is no real way to get over it. Sure there are drugs to help depression, but these drugs don't always work. The depression and boredom is sometimes just too strong to shake.

alone and smiling

It is one thing to be alone. It is another to be alone in a relationship. This becomes difficult because of the lies one tells oneself. After a while, the lies become so strong that they are believable- not only to the one who is lying to himself/herself, but also to those around them. People believe everything is okay because that is what is being presented. There is no doubt that presentation is just that, a way to show someone that everything you are doing is okay and everything is fine. But everything is not fine because he or she is alone and smiling and acting as if everything is okay... when it isn't.
