The more I know, the more I realize how little I actually know.

There is a life after betrayal; I am living proof of this.

After losing everything, the way to live is: One Day At A Time.

You go on by shifting your focus on other things. Stop thinking about the things that hurt you. Think about your other friends or go watch a funny movie. Thinking about the things that you cannot handle is not going to help you. Give it some time. It may take days or, years. But you’ll get there. I’ve been there. I have gone on.

“What’s the use in living?”. Before one can answer this question, the answer to, “What is the purpose of my life?” must first be addressed. Your answer shall determine the use in living.

When everything was taken away from me and I was left with nothing, I began to understand my dependance on the things I “owned”. When I was left with “nothing”, I realized that I had everything I really needed.

The emptiness I felt, and the pain that came along with it, was difficult to deal with. I did some really stupid things back then. I focused away from the source of my pain but got myself into a lot of trouble. So perhaps I am not the best person to be giving you advice, my friend.

Isn’t that “fact” more then “trust”. You don’t actually know that the chair will hold you. you just assume that based on past knowledge or facts you have learned. If you trusted the chair to hold you then you might not think it actually would, lol. It is fun twisting words and playing with meanings. In the end, BOTH ways of looking at it are correct depending on your viewpoint!

I often ask myself if my interpretation of that which I perceive to be reality really is the correct perception on which to base my opinions and thoughts upon. When I choose to believe that others are right, I never forget that such people are true to themselves when they hold on to their beliefs. This is not to say that they are right in entirety.

The fact that I sit on my chair without checking to see if it can take my weight and stroll down a sidewalk without worrying if it will collapse beneath me are examples of how trust plays an important role in my life. The more I am able to trust, the freer my mind becomes.

Regardless, I too do not rely on trust unless I believe that the persons whom I choose to trust are are worth taking a chance on.

Thank you for taking the time to read this article and commenting on it, my friend.

I do not rely on Trust. I just know.

Political Disgust

Yes, we all make mistakes; and accepting the imperfections in others leads to a deeper understanding of the reality that we perceive as the world we live in.

While it is true that some of us can find it within ourselves to gracefully embrace our humanity and the shortcomings that come with it, that same grace should compel us to accept the difference in perception that others embrace.

Inasmuch as there will be those that make honest mistakes, there are also those who have been given the benefit of every doubt but persist in repeating the same mistakes without exception.

There are the takers, the givers, and the watchers. I be the watcher that takes sparingly and gives wherever possible, my friend.

Forgiveness is king!
