And so it goes....

I wonder how many of us, you...actually take the time to entertain the notion that maybe we are not being completely or even remotely honest with ourselves about the most important aspect of one's life, yourself, in terms of love, what we hold dear and precious, and, how these 'things' define or influence the way we lead our lives, what we think and our actions out there and what motivates and inspires them...wow thats one fukcing long sentence, but it sounds good written that way, sorta like breaking it up will lessen the impact or something.

I've been wondering why its so damn difficult to be a 'good' honest person, and why, on the contrary its so bloody easy being selfish, impatient, inconsiderate and just plain nasty to those around us, both known and unknown...?

Why is it like that? I'm trying to figure it out, and hopefully, bit by bit I'll get there...and hopefully I'll be able to understand, to some degree and then I could try and get people to realise that being a better person, although tougher is more rewarding, more challenging, more meaningful...purely (well to some degree) because its so much more difficult!

And so the mission commences...

We are warriors, of sorts...

I get that there are 'different' types of Christians in the world, and indeed that it takes all types of people, Christian and otherwise to make the world, I myself don't understand why people put so much effort into trying to convert 'other' religions to their own because I dont think religion (or faith) defines a persons character, or implies some form or depth of integrity... I just don't get it, its not to say I'm right or wrong, but if we focussed more on living better lives, giving more, being more empathetic, more gracious in defeat, more sharing in victory and more loving then I'm convinced that we'll be better people and the world, in some incremental way would be a better place, whatever faith we practice! The piece above, I did purely to convey that at times it takes a bit of delivry to create the best angels...not always, but battles and wars are far from fairytales and love poems...

Time for change...

Or should it be change with time? Sometimes I feel we get the two confused... I think we should live true according to our heart's knowledge of what's right, strive to live that way despite the hardship that may at times arise and in that way, as the cliche goes we can be the change we want to see in the world!!!

Overly selfish instead of selfless...

I wonder how much time we spend thinking about 'bigger picture' issues (and then commit to an issue) that don't have us at their centre? I was shocked at my own parochial, selfish functioning, I see that my process of reflection and introspection is based on the premise that I be at the centre of the process... And then we wonder why we've become such a one dimensional non-society, cos we function on a purely individual basis, where consideration of others or 'bigger picture' priorities, or indeed realities (that are not directly relevant to us) are absolute misnomers! And I wonder what hope there is for a sustainable world when we have 6 billion people and no real community?!
