Everyone changes. And that's a good thing.

Very well articulated

You chose the harder path, I sometimes think. It's easier to let go of your mind and live by commands and rules and inner grit, because your steps are drawn for you. You ALWAYS feel right inside when you obey.

YOUR path had to be FOUND. The rightness was a puzzle that had to be worked.

YOURS was the harder path.

You definitely go places, I'll never even know were in existence.

Where can I subscribe? 👀

@Levenrack Right Now....all that matters Sir Lev. And currently you and I are in the paint..

You're like a combination of Dexter and Rambo that can write like Hemingway or Josef Conrad. ☺✌
Punxi · F
@BooksRMe Damn! 🤣

@Punxi Way better looking though ☺
My understanding is that Apocalypse Now is based on Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness. Have you read it, and if so what do you think?

Punxi · F
@ElwoodBlues More than once....

Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness didn’t just inspire Apocalypse Now, it kinda exposed the same quiet truth in a different jungle: that the further we travel outward in conquest, the deeper we collapse inward.

Thats the madness that captured my heart.

Kurtz is not found at the end of the river, but at the edge of the self....where civilization thins and the human soul finally tells the truth.
@Punxi Thanks! I read the book in college decades ago, when I was much less mature. At the time I was not able to draw from it the generalization that you did about conquest and what it does to the self. Thank you!!
That’s such a powerful shift, from discipline to understanding. Not everyone has the courage to walk that path.
Beautifully expressed.

In the course of life, we realize our calling as we courageously answer questions that no one else can answer for us.

Who do I want to be? How can I matter to the world/family I care about?

Wishing you the best as you serve in the best way you know how.

Why are orders given in forces ?? Because you don't want anyone to think but act

@romell Exactly. My father was a Bird Colonel in the army, and it is CRUCIAL for soldiers to jump and obey without THINKING. THINKING would make them hesitate.
