Stray thought strut
It is common to be avoiding things, by re-directing our attention elsewhere.
It can be healthy to do so even.
The important thing, i think is not to be caught in a rut.
I have a limited amount of things i write about, and things i just choose never to talk about.
To have one's own array of topics and stuff. Know thyself, even if not a physician.
To all here who voice their opinions, thank you, you help me and others to think of things again.
If one is honest with oneself, much we were certain of needs to be challenged if one is to keep those opinions firm, or to go in the direction that on a core level feels better.
Not the feelings that come and go all the time, but the feeling emanating from the center of our beings.
In today's society, it seems to me that there is an eroding, a mass eroding. There is so much hatred and other similar things. What can be done about that?
I propose a few things, offered in a spirit of generosity.
On an individual level, i've tailor made an approach, and it is ensconced safely in a lifestyle environment that i at times take for granted, but maybe some things here could apply to those who say have daily responsibilities and whatnot.
Life is a joke - my dearest friend posted a bit ago about this, and my reply was just a quickie, i didn't give it the thought it deserved, for it is precisely the kind of thing i wish to explore further.
My guidance in the past were of a few stripes, for this i think of the cynics, they detached themselves from getting too emotionally wound up by life's futility and well maybe they also felt genuine sorrow too, but they sure as heck had a humor streak. To see the humor in reality is one thing to make the cosmic joke endurable, but if that was all there is, i'd say it's not worth it. One may just become a toxic person, with no real peace inside.
I have no peace inside, but externally i do, because i have to, all perceived phenomena is like attached to me as strings, i cut the strings i feel i can do without (eg: politics) and like a conductor of a symphony i conduct these phenomena to see if there can be music. Yeah, i make one too many allusions sometimes.
Peace, calm, satiation, equanimity - to strive without striving - every action towards it, using whatever helps to make it easy.
Plenty of alone time, cherishing solitude, peace.
A thin sliver of a community with a bare minimum of interactivity (eg: SW)
Thinking about things that to you are not instantly solvable. Why life is the way it is, how come things are the way they are. How am i looking at it. What are some different ways of looking at it. And always running things through the core area, the core area is a great sensor, and the core is the fruit of all your labors, and all that's come at you. I don't believe we ever stop renovating it, but it feels good to do what we can.
