2:52a - Things To Improve Life
Does anyone besides me, ever feel like they spend half of their life catching up with where they should be. Where should anyone be in life ?, I guess is the question. Personally, although life feel's so long when your young, as you get older you realize how short it really is. So where should I be ?? You know I still don't have the faintest, all I know, is that this week has bought on the old midlife crisis routine. I've got skill's but no one's employing me, I've got direction, but nowhere to go. You know what my biggest problem is, I let other peoples problems upset me, and that's when I have to start asking those serious questions. Do I let other people's problems upset me?, or just try and work at building the best life for myself ?. Or do I get rapt up in other people's problems?, and thereby start taking on other people's problems that are not my own. I don't know of one person where this situation doesn't apply, but what I do know, some people think Nirvana's the freedom from it. You see I constantly have other people messages being pushed down my eyeball's , my ear balls, any orifice where problems can enter, the moment I wake up, even in my sleep, I'm haunted by something...and you know what that something is...imperfection. I don't live in the perfect world. If I lived in the perfect world, when I buy a new computer, I should be able to reformat it without the thing having a total banana. I could turn on the TV, and not have to get concerned about nations that don't work together, because in the perfect world of course, people would just accept people for themselves. I could read a paper without having to hear about other peoples problems. I'd have a boyfriend and we'd see eye to eye...you know all those things that make life an enjoyable experience. But you know what, every time I turn on the T. V., every head line in every paper, everywhere I look, and everywhere I go, there's some underlying current of energy that no matter how I look at it say's "today I'm going to fuck with your day, and there's nothing you can do about it". You know what I think?, I think terror starts at home, when Governments and media have right of way into your home via the T.V, in the radio or in the shopping mall as I walk. I can't even look for a job in the paper without having to suffer some grief or shock from what I read. You know what I think. I think that show's to me what a half assed job the world leaders and people in generanl are doing, whatever race country or religion they are.
So now you might ask...."well what you gonna do about it"...and you know what I'm going to do about it.....?? Well that of course is the million dollar question...which this week I'll leave you with this answer..."What are we going to do about it ?".
Ideas for improving your life and others.
1. Do a course in negotiating skills.
2. Do a course in people skills.
3. Learn to compromise peacefully with those around you.
4. Take on new's skills.
5. Actively participate in group discussions.
6. Think thing's through before agreeing with others, but don't just disagree to be different. Logic should be the clear choice.
7. Respect other peoples right to privacy, whether they be in there home, their car, or out shopping.
8. Approach people you feel attracted to when appropriate.
9. Each day you read something that you feel is wrong, write down way's that you and those around you can make it right.
10. Create a self-improvement list.
11.Treat others with tolerance and respect. (Sending in armed thug's to restore order in a community that has just suffered another black death in police custody, really just show's how completly barbaric you really are. This probably affected me on the same level of magnitude, as the 50 odd dead whales on the Tasmanian coast, which in both cases, there are suitable solutions for these occurrences not to happen. (Did these thing's happen this week...well often like the man who walked on the moon..I'm left wondeing).
This list of course in inexhaustible , and I have enough problems of my own, however, these are just some of the way's I'm going to work at making things better for me today...tomorrow..and the day after that..
