Personal Truths.

[Black_Bird]

Black_Bird..this quote popped into my head as I read your post.

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
I am large, I contain multitudes.
~Walt Whitman,

Very good...

This was true of me and God larger then I, then God would be full of contradictions... No wonder we think her ways are mysterious.

Mine is a bit corny, but sometimes when I'm really stressed about something, or being spiteful, it helps to remember -

'You only live once'

(I guess I will have a million ppl arguing with me now!)

Not corny... You feel it important to live *this* life to the fullest - regardless of what might be in the afterlife.

for me, the glass is half full, as well as half empty. I will fight to the death for other people to choose how they see it. It is important, though, that they at least know that the glass is there.

Truths?

I have had alot of time and motivation to think about "truths" lately.

In my careful perusal of the world around me, I realize there I have only me, my integrity, my honor and my sense of self worth.

These are things no one can take from me and no one can give to me.

Everything else is just temporary.

"The Secret of Life is to Enjoy the Passage of Time"


I don't know what it is, but I try to remind myself of this when I feel stressed and boxed in my life. I try to remember what I am doing it all for.

Mor's rules of life:
1. Love is the most important thing in the world. Not just romantic love, love for your family, for your friends, for your enemies, for all of humanity. Love is the reason why we exist.
2. Men don't hit women, ever, for any reason.
3. As long as it hurts no one, do whatever makes you happy. Before you take any action that will seriously impact others.. Consider how you would feel in their stead. If you would not enjoy what they are about to go through, and if they are undeserving of it, don't do it.
4. You have no right to force your beliefs upon others, nor others to force theirs upon you.
5. Every action has consequences, there's always a price and sooner or later, everyone has to pay the piper. Karma is the universal equalizer, and if you don't respect it, it Will bite you in the balls when you least expect it.
6. Don't make idle threats.
7. Never strike a person in anger unless you're prepared to kill them.
8. Weapons are for cowards, and should only be used against them.
9. Fear not he who has everything, he who has everything has everything to lose. Fear he who has nothing, he who has nothing to lose has nothing to fear.
10. When in doubt, just screw it.

2. Men don't hit women, ever, for any reason.

Submissives the world over would like to argue on that point!

It's OK to prick your finger, but never finger your prick (at least in public)

LoL, good point BB..

Just to clear it up before any subs suddenly go dom/domme on me.. I meant with real intent to do physical and mental harm. Sex is a completely different ball-game.

It's never as bad as it appears. And if it is, it still isn't bad enough to get upset about it.

Bottom

Mine is depicted at the bottom of each of my posts. But I always say as well "It only takes one muscle to smile and a million to frown"

 

[paganangel]

there is no good or evil. this is a construct of man employed so that the weak might control the strong.

 

[SilverVeil]

Be myself.

If others can't deal with who I am ..... their loss, fuck 'em

Always get your priorities right - just remember that they're yours, and other people are just as entitled to theirs.

Here's one i try to remember

There's 3 sides to every arguement


His
yours
and the truth will fall somewhere in the middle

 

[KillerMuffin]

Everyone suffers equally, suffering is subjective to the individual. Respect the rights and needs of an individual's suffering as you would your own.

1939

It's from that 1939 classic "Gone With the Wind"
'Tomorrow is another day.'
With those words Scarlet made people realize that when one doesn't think that there is ANY hope butthere truly is but we have to wait. Hope is what keeps many of us alive and going in a direction that helps us to survive. Hope makes us realize that we are not failures but successes waiting to happen. Look back on the last six months at failed relationships with either family or friends and at one point or another you didn't think that you could possibly go on . . . but you did and look where you are today. Living, loving and learning about yourself in ways you thought was not possible IS possible but one day at a time.
Tomorrow IS another day!

There is always the deception and that is how wars are won. Yet, I do hate to follow that thought and why bother to build an energy that spews with a spin of truths that are not your own. Three sides I agree, but I would hate to come to a point that all that was gathered was dust and in turn, you become the fool without the prize in the end…
