I don't believe, but I have a pretty good idea. --Dogma
I believe in nothing, everything is sacred; I believe in everything, nothing is sacred. --Tom Robbins
Things I have experienced...
...people usually have a lot of growing up to do and infinitely more than they will ever admit.
...one's mistakes often have their blame turned on those who were the innocent by-standers in the drive-by shooting of one's reality.
...more often than not, people don't see things from all the angles...they don't take into account all the outcomes and this results in surprise and disbelief, or worse: dogmatism. These people will never make good lawyers or philosophers, which essentially encompass everyone in one way or the other.
...love is a shifting thing that makes the recipient squirm and writhe, hopefully in undeniable passion.
...love doesn't ever die, it is either outweighed or manufactured (thereby being entirely a hoax).
...the road is long and arduous, but the walk is worth taking. Tear down all the signs.
...enjoy the things you have, and don't take the good things for granted. The cliche is absolutely infallible, and the result is rarely pleasant. This is the thing I struggle most with.
...letting people in sometimes ultimately results in achieving that phenomenon that people are always so desperately reaching for. No matter how much you tell someone, or how well they know or think they know you, only you can know what it all means. Spend life contemplating this when the mood suits you, but don't let it consume your life.
...live for you, and eat rich and wonderful food. There is some food that will make it all okay, and the ritual of eating is cathartic to say the least, even if it's pre-fabricated "body of christ" Jesus wafers...ritual and pursuit of truth is all.
...try not to regret. Appreciate your follies, don't let them make you fall.
...don't accept people for what they are if it is an excuse to be something you don't believe is good. Constantly question.
...there is always someone who will build you (in their minds) into something you're not. Run, these people are dangerous, annoying, and generally obsessive.
...nothing indicates ignorance like ignorant people will do, given the chance. Don't assume someone is anything based on anything other than their character.
...don't try to change people, don't let people change you and don't let people let you change them. If any of these things happen, get out like a ninja.
