I give up as well....

[sufisaint]

Thre seems no point to anything... you try and dig your well so deep that you reach the pure clear water of your soul...and people just come by, piss in your well, and then leave....

sufisaint

perhaps...a concrete wall...to retain the good from the not.
at least it will stop the evil urine from flowing in./just a thought.

 

[sufisaint]

Just dump a couple bags of concrete in...make it my tomb...

There is an inner heart life that everyone should develop, as specially as one ages. You have two choices..you can become colder, cynical and bitter as life knocks you around and your ego centered mind reacts or you can begin to open your heart again, like a child's, and become gentle, kind-hearted and compassionate. For some people that is not a possibility, for most its just to hard to do and not reinforced in this self centered society. The only thing we truly own, is our emotions...they are us...the cars, the house ect...are just things. This need you feel...this emotional bond you crave is part of your heart opening, aching to be alive. Don't turn a way these feeling for comfort's sake or fears of being alone...

Are you this same man?

I am just in shock someone actually reads what I write...

Of course I read what you write! You're an interesting person who writes well. Why wouldn't people read it???

I also remember what people say. I like your post that I copied above. I thought you might like to read it again, too.

...sigh.

 

[sufisaint]

Even Jesus had his moments of doubts..a dark night of the soul I think its called...

 

[concrete]

it's not meant to be a TOMB......heavens no..a barrier ....
to control the nonsense

Yes, that's true. But he always came out stronger for having had them, too, I believe. He never gave up.

Other people are happy, you can be happy too if everyone would just freely share their happiness. Nope there are people that selfishly horde all the happiness without caring about their fellow citizens. I think it is all pretty stupid, there are like 1million more women than men in this country, why aren't the ladies swooning over the scrawniest guy? Yep, you guessed right, it's those damn lesbians getting all the pussy. We can all bind together and make sure in every sexual act there is 1 to 1 girl/guy ratio. The best looking 1million men (that's me) are allowed to get the double girl action. Again there is no reason we all can't be happy in this country of endless breast milk and snatch honey.

 

[sufisaint]

Forty days and nights in the desert,
Burning days to test the body
Cool nights with the stary sky
against the open desert
to refresh the soul
Wandering with no destitation
He could never be lost...
But me...
I am lost..
I am foresaken..
to mountain I must go
Only on the top
with only heaven surrounding me
Can I find my away
into my being...

Congratulations Sufi. The Buddha teaches us that to attain enlightenment we must first realize that all of life is suffering. Only once we have assimilated this into our consciousness can we begin the path to true happiness. You're on the verge!

 

[sufisaint]

I have realized this suffering for sometime...yet still I remain....

 

[peachykeen]

dude, the assimilation takes time. It's not like you can pick up enlightenment at Sears along with a car battery and Craftsman tools.

 

[April]

Sufisaint, I'm shocked at your av. I have this very same pic in my house.

 

[sufisaint]

I give up here...another place where I do not belong...

khusros traipsing

Bahut Kathin hai dagar panghat ki,
Kaisay main bhar laaun madhva say matki?
Paniya bharan ko main jo gayi thi,
Daud jhapat mori matki patki.
Bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki.
Khusro Nijaam kay bal bal jayyiye
Laaj rakho moray ghoonghat pat ki.
Bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki.

The road to the well is much too difficult,
How to get my pot filled?
When I went to fill the water,
in the furore, I broke my pot.
Khusro has given his whole life to you, O Nijaam.
Would you please take care of my veil (of self respect),
The road to the well is much too difficult.


its a road less travelled my friend

 

[sufisaint]

My answer...... from Rumi of course...

You imagined that you would accomplish this task through your own strength, activity, and effort. This is the wont that I have established: expend everything you have in Our way. Then Our bounty will come to you. On this endless road, We command you to travel with your own feeble hands and feet. We know that you cannot traverse this way with feet so feeble. Indeed, in a hundred thousand years you will not arrive at the first way station. However, when you travel this road until your legs are exhausted and you fall down flat, until you have no more strength to move forward, then God's grace will take you in its arms.

You belong... don't give up, I told you dreams are hard to grasp sometimes... hang in there and be happy you are actually making the path you want... so many do not even try... at least you are trying...
