"Life goes on, no one gets rehearsal." There, there's your cliched life quote. Wait...I have a better one, "Life's tough, get a helmet." That's seems a more accurate telling and definition of the abstract which is life....I have a Ph.D. in Medical Theory. I can't treat people, but I can think about how awesome it would be if I could. Just call me Doc. And if you're thinking it already, I'm here to tell you you're right. Where we're going, we don't need roads. Do you know why people go mad? Because they caught a glimpse of themselves and it was too much for them to fathom. Wait, Doc, are you trying to tell me my mom has the hots for me? Close. I'm trying to tell you that self reflection, in the psychological and spiritual sense, can be a very....damaging thing. The literal sense can be quite damaging as well; especially for ugly people who find looking into a mirror quite damaging to their self esteem, but that's neither here nor there. I'm talking about the former. We'll discuss the latter later (I find that clever).
Point. I remember when I owned everything: the sun and the moon and the rain, my domain, stretched and yawned along the astral plane. The universe is a toy in the mind of a boy, and life is movie too. Starring you. Your whole family's the cast and crew--that's a little secret between God and you. But...the need to feel. Love is more than real. Because your mother's love might seem insane, it's 'cause she really knows everything. Too bad it takes so long to see what you've been missing...
What does all this mean? It means that.....well, it means...well, I heard this in a song today:
Don't be sad about your chosen path and where it's taken you thus far, 'cause this is what you did, and that is who you are, and it's all right...
Is it all right? What if it's not alright? What if the path you're on and what you've done is not all right because that's not you? Who has the right to say that to you? To tell you who you are? Your mother? That's what you did and that's who you are and it's all right. To me that seems like an extremely selfish and arrogant point of view. People make mistakes! They make wrong turns and some spends years of constant wrong turns trying to get on the right path. People do things that are outside of themselves to seemingly erase that ONE mistake where they truly were not being themselves. What about them. What do you say to them? It's all right, that's who you are. Is that helping? Are you making things easier for them. I wouldn't think so. If anything, you've made thing 12 times worse. Often times people will compromise themselves for the sake of the group. For the sake of fitting in or being accepted. Or simply to be defiant, to do something people feel or thought they could never do. For instance, that person people think is to nice to do wrong. Or that individual who is too "white." A lot of those people so experience times where they deny who they REALLY are to create something acceptable to those they mingle with, those they are yoked up with. What do those people do? How do they reconcile themselves. You my think it's all right but maybe they're not all right with themselves. "Oh you just need to accept who you are and be happy with it." False. YOU need to accept who I am and be happy with it so I can stop pretending. Hush now, enough of that. The point of this ramble is, think about it. Think about your chosen path and where it's taken you. That is what you did, and that is WHO YOU ARE....is it all right? If not, why, and how did you get here? I challenge you to look inside yourself. Turn your eyes into your very soul, and SEE how black and grained your deeds are. Is that who you are? I know I'VE got a lot of explaining to do. To myself, not you.
