All this light could be so bright that it's blinding you to that tiny light far, far away, which is the place where you would rather be instead of where you are now. Your goal; your purpose.
Thought of the day: Why do I walk barefoot?
Because if there is something sacred and holy in the ground I walk upon, I want to be as close to it as possible.
Why do we wear clothes?
We wear clothes not because we are ashamed of our bodies, but rather because we believe we are unable to live up to our full potential as humans.
How to understand God?
God is the totality of reality and each individual's complete being, and the intricate ways in which they interact.
Do the ends justify the means?
Do they ever?
Full circle
Am I as incompetent as I pretend to be?
I’m disgusted!
I was not worth the time required to sit down with me and ask me how I felt; I was not worth the words she'd have to waste to talk to me about my feelings; nothing I did of my own accord - for her, or otherwise - was worth talking about, let alone of praise.
What do I want?
And so as I was sitting there, scrolling pissedly back and forth over the post, wondering whether I should write to the author and tell him to piss off[...].
Should I kill or embrace my inner child?
I conclude from all this that I have always been on a path - though subconsciously - of empowering my inner child; of showing it how to overcome the fears it carried around since childhood and achieve my (its) goals.
You can’t be in two places at once
The goal for me cannot be to eliminate all duplicity in the name of pure minimalism and who cares about everything. It is to be conscious of those aspects of myself that I cannot fully expose "in the crowd" while at the same time working towards making it possible.
