Why bother at all?
In these pages you will find all sorts of interesting comments, suggestions, opinions, and even some helpful hints on various subjects. You may also find some boring articles as well as some that you may not agree with. Much of the content is contributed. Some of it is mine. This is a Dynamic Site in that it will continue to grow as long as I do.
So... why bother.
Sometimes I wonder that myself. I mean who cares? Certainly not anyone in my immediate family. They think they have already heard it all before, and they are probably right when it comes to what I have to say. But maybe, just maybe, there are one or two folks out there that ARE interested in some of the things I ramble on about. And I need that. I need to know that someone on this planet appreciates me.
Does that seem like a wimpy statement? To some perhaps but we ALL have that "need" whether we admit it or not.
So... why bother?
Because I cannot do otherwise.
If I don't try to share what I have discovered, if I don't try to touch other human beings, if I don't bother to communicate with the world outside of me then I am all alone. And being all alone with just yourself all the time is really boring, not to mention frustrating.
So... why bother. Because I can't stand being all by myself.
Now let's see who I really am. Do you know who YOU really are? I can't speak for you but as far as I am concerned I don't know yet. I don't know who I really am because I am still learning, still growing, still looking for.... me.
I think most of us confuse who we are with who we want other people to THINK we are. We show the world outside one person and then, late at night, when we are alone with our thoughts, we have to spend time with the "real" us. Sometimes that isn't so bad and sometimes that is the last place we want to be. It depends on who we "really" are and what we did that day.
Alright, what in the heck does that mean. Well, if you are basically a good person that takes action when necessary, is still learning about the people and the world you live in, and is trying to improve yourself, trying to become a better person... then time with yourself can be not only enjoyable but also fruitful. But if you already know it all and get really mad at all those idiots that don't recognize your genius... then I suspect you don't spend much time with yourself. Or... at least not productive time
Is there a difference between "being alone" and "spending time with yourself"?
I think there is. If I am just "being alone" then I am not in touch with my "inner me", and usually I am just re-hashing events of the day (going over mistakes) without evaluating them. Or I am playing a game on the computer, watching TV, or some other activity that does not require me to "think" about "me", and by "me" I mean the "real" me. The one I sometimes like and sometimes don't like.
So here I am. Writing these thoughts in a form the whole world can see. I may not be the kind of person I want to be but I am a better person today than I was yesterday... and for that I am thankful.
I am thankful I discovered that I wasn't perfect.
I am thankful that I am still able to change.
I am thankful that the higher powers allow me to grow.
I am thankful for those that acknowledge me when I do good.
I am thankful for those that ignore me when I make mistakes.
I am even more thankful for those that point out I made a mistake... otherwise how would I grow?
I am thankful for the person I used to be... because of that person I am now who I am today.
And I am thankful for the person I am becoming... because I am going to like that person so much better.
Some days it is more difficult to remember that I am thankful than other days. Then I remind myself that I am a "work in progress" and that means the person that upset my script for the day is ALSO a "work in progress" and that helps.
Script for the day?... Now don't we all get upset when when have something all planned out and some one or some thing interferes with Our Perfect Plan? Sure we do. I'll ramble on about that at a later date. Otherwise, having more than one page on this site would be..... Pointless.
We all know what that is don't we. It's getting up a 5:00 AM so we can be at work by 7:00 Am. It's looking at our savings account (that was for a vacation) drop to almost nothing because the house needs a new roof. It's sitting in our favorite chair at the end of the day with a cold beer or iced tea. It's washing and waxing our new car (that we only have 53 more payments to make on) Saturday morning. It's looking at that paycheck every week and wondering why it doesn't go as far as we want it to. Its realizing that the official we elected two years ago is absolutely no different than the one we voted out. Its getting the School Tax bill and seeing that it went UP again. YEAH...now THAT'S REALITY... or is it.
It is... if you want it to be. You can't change the taxes. You probably won't change the nature of politicians. But there is a lot you can change. There is only one limitation to that though. You.
You are the limiting factor. Not "them". You can change only you. You can't change them. So where do you start. You start by learning about "reality", I mean the real "reality" as defined by the Laws of Nature.
