As children, we developed friendships that promised that no matter what, we would be friends until the end. We were sincere in the idea and we thought about that package.
However, life starts to happen and other things start to happen at the same time. When you are children everything is wonderful, colorful and free. We see the bluest sky and the greenest trees. Our friend is right no matter what he says or does and we just admire how they can tell a lie and make it sound so true. Innocence has long since been lost and almost forgotten. Although we try to keep things as light-hearted as possible; life is uncomfortably black and white most of the time. The colors have been combined in a unrecognizable color that we cannot easily name; then we meet Spontaneously invent a name. that seems to fit.
No one wants to say that this is not right, or wrong, or even wonder “WHY”? Nooooooooo, we just mindlessly and “on purpose” jump in to fit in and, in some arenas, this is apparently the only way to achieve the ultimate goal desired by all of us. However, this commitment puts us at risk of being another face, another number, another… the same as always. ‘here’s another one’.
Don’t mess around to fit in, dare to be different though “different” by today’s standards it is not popular. I can be me, you can be you, we can be us and they can be them; and everyone can accept “who is each”, but not necessarily “what” we can all do. That is an individual choice and a personal conviction of what “it” is that we, they can do. If you don’t like “what I do” just ‘don’t participate’, if I don’t like what you do… just ‘don’t participate’.
my end is mine alone, and I have a lot of confidence in my end. Your end is your end, and I hope you are as sure of your end. My end is “eternal” bliss, because I have experienced a small glimpse of this bliss on this side of measured time. I have also experienced “a glimpse of and been struck by restlessness, infidelity, lack of love, unforgiveness, pain, sadness, confusion, despair, sickness, hopelessness and, boy, have I seen my share of death; but, the promise of “eternal happiness” it has clouded my heart, soul, spirit and mind, until my only perspective is “inner peace” and “unfiltered joy”.
Some of my childhood friends are no longer heard on this earth, some of them have gone beyond this world. None of them have ever told me where they are, but I already know some of them, because they made it very clear in life; Where would his eternity be? I am sure of this and you can reflect on this… #if you my friends went to heaven, you don’t want to leave; and if their eternity is in hell… #they can’t leave.
I’ll leave you with this… If your friend(s) tells you that they have found inner peace, indescribable joy and life is good, even though they may be struggling financially; and you, on the other hand, have $$$$$$, but are miserable, have no inner peace, and find yourself envying your friend(s)… DON’T DO IT! Ask them… how is it possible that you are broke, alone and at peace… they may say… “I have joy indescribable”; that I cannot explain but it is something that has helped me, and surely it has sustained me.
