Posted: 11/1/2004 11:03:11 AM | | in vihtor frankl's "man's search for meaning"...reading inspiration from a friend I met on here, he notes that there are 2 races of men in this world-decent, and indecent, no group of society consists of purely decent, or purely indecent. I want to agree with that, and add my own opinion that each of us would also be "bi-racial", meaning that we each foster a level of decency, as well as indecency. We make choices moment by moment-which sway in either direction. I believe that the "compassionate", possibly made so by upbringing, suffering, or an inborn personality, make more conscious effort to be decent -to others as well as themself. And possibly the "selfish", made so maybe by the upbringing,suffering, or inborn personality-react to life in a different way, more callous,cold, and at times indecent. The compassionate and the selfish would be a spectrum line, of which we all fall somewhere in between, and move a bit, from side to side. If everyone agreed with this philosophy, they might stop the incessant finger pointing and labeling that they do. Which really irritates me 2 no end. I'm posting this here, and to my friend, and in the inter-racial thread. I'd like some feedback. The book is good by the way, and would be an encouragement or enlightenment for anyone to read. (just a small paperback-not too heavy) | |

| strange dreams...
Posted: 11/6/2004 11:56:44 AM | aren't dreams strange? i don't have them very often, but when i do...weird. And i like to anaylze them. here's one i had b4 waking today....
there was a huge storm due to pass over a body of water..(typhoon, hurricane, tsunami,I don't know what it would be called)but masses of people were going out on the water to "catch the biggest wave known to man"...it was thrill seeking...i was in some type of small cruise ship, i saw everything around me from single individuals on surf boards, to people on ski's let by small boats, to huge ocean liners...hoards of people, some even just swimming . it occurred to me in that our cruise ship, when the storm hit(from which nobody even knew the direction) that these people and ships would all crash into each other, and i felt the fear of all of our actions- without thought, were going to lead to our demise. how could we all ...so many of us, be so stupid? it really scared the --- out of me. in a panic, i tried to convince those around me of the dangers, and i wanted off. i did get off, and suddenly i was in a neighborhood, the sky was getting dark, and lightening started to flash. it was a poor neighborhood it seems, and i didn't know anyone around. I was looking for some type of shelter, a concrete carport, something, when i saw my daughter. i was so relieved to find her, although earlier in my dream i wasn't even looking for her.we managed to find a house with lights on inside and asked if we could stay with them during the storm. they were very nice, and we went inside. then my daughter's curiosity led her outside, which i was upset at , and kept telling her no.she snuck out there anyway, and i woke up to the fear that she would be hurt. very vivid, like watching a movie-and so my analysis of this one seems to be that the foolishness of adults leads to the dangers of our children. and amazingly throughout history we read of horrific events which affected so very many people. and history plays daily. | |

| I'm waking up....
Posted: 11/7/2004 2:06:29 AM | slowly but surely, I'm waking up....
from the nightmare of loneliness - which is only a state of mind
from the illusion of emptiness- I am filling my cup higher every day
from aching fantasies- that only add grief when the reality isn't met
dreaming is fun
temptation is titalating
but it can also become a burden
if you let it become obsession
I'm finally waking up
I've been sleeping for months now
Plotting a course, I will live for what's real
I will want for no more
and I will be happy~~~ | |
|
| I'm waking up....
Posted: 11/7/2004 2:07:52 AM | Wishing you all that you wish!!!
Another great write Green | |

| it's only a matter of time...
Posted: 11/7/2004 2:21:08 AM | ...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100
decades come, and decades go
times speeds fast, times drags slow
yesterday,right now, then tomorrow
red balloons, cheers,broken glass,sorrow
the longing for a number-time gone by
the feeling of antiquity, gazing at the sky
yet with restlessness of now, hurry get it done
will we ever treasure the pleasure, of each day as #1? | |

| Not alone...
Posted: 11/7/2004 6:26:33 PM | with friends and loved ones -in so many places
their warmth and guidance fill so many spaces
i feel gratitude, for the multitude
and i don't need to cry all day
yes at times i feel needy-i suppose also greedy
when i focus always on me
there's so much i don't see
a dark sadness i tend to portray
but the world doesn't revolve around me
there's the land,and the air, and the sea
other people-as grains of sand we are
a whole universe- an unknown shing star
none of us are ever alone, and never should feel so cold
take the attention off yourself, heightened awareness will soon take hold
~with love and respect to all grains of mankind~ | |

| Not alone...
Posted: 11/9/2004 11:09:54 AM | | sometimes it seems like I've got a pity party going on here....well it's not so. I just feel for those of you out there who are down, for whatever reason...I feel low on occasion too. I hope that something I put in here can relate to someone else, and make them feel stronger. So, sometimes it's about me, sometimes it's about you, who read this. I think that's our whole point of being, to care for others as we would want ourself.to let the garbage out that frustrates us, to feel for each other, and to remember to be thankful for what we do have. when we remember to be thankful, and remember other people, we aren't as self absorbed. that promotes a healthier mindset. ok..."back to your regularly scheduled program" | |

| in the clouds
Posted: 11/11/2004 11:12:23 AM | why do i look for you? because the essence of you has my head in the clouds
why do i long for you? because i feel like you are what's missing in me
why do i hurt for you? because i know i'll never have you-and even worse, i would not compliment you if i did....
so why do i keep my head up in the clouds?
sometimes it's cold here
sometimes its dark
sometimes i don't even want to speak
but looking up--"thinking up"--i think of you, of all i can be, if only i would...
in those clouds, i see you,endless possibilities,living a life thats full and good
i feel your light reaching out to me-in return my heart reaches out to you
you must be the gold-ending the rainbow's hue | |

Posted: 11/14/2004 11:30:17 AM | this poem has a two-fold meaning
for 1, a dedication to my Dad,who passed away 15 years ago
and 2, from being inspired by a young person I met (not personally) on this a bit ago
I don't think people realize how much impact they can have on another, positive and negative. Something to think about, in the way we all carry ourselves with others.Also a good idea to let those you care about know it-cuz you just never know when you see them for the very last time. | |

| Aretha Franklin....What a difference a day made...
Posted: 11/17/2004 2:52:03 AM | classy...sultry...romantic
The thing about being a romantic heart- you have an image, something that grabs you, and it tends to hold you too tightly. Your vision sees what your heart wants to feel, whether its accurate or envisioned. The difference between the vision, and reality is pain. The magnification of the fantasy only magnifies the pain when the romance is false, or starts, then falters. The hurt and angry have one person to blame-themself. I can, and am, only speaking for myself. But I bet I'm not alone .Too many fish in this sea, and too many sites online for this not to be true. I have seen happy endings though, and patiently, I wait for mine, however reality sets my stage. | |
