How many of you remember when you first came here? I do...I remember the wide-eyed optimism I had. I was open to the beauty in the world. I wanted to meet others who shared the same yerning for peace and unity I had. But, soon enough, I started growing cold and bitter. Why...I don't know. But, change is part of life...and right now, my friends, that's what I'm doing. Right now, my pledge (to anyone who cares) is to change. To become a better person...to myself, to others, and to the world. To help show others the beauty in the world...they're magic all around us, but we focus on what? Religion...politics...war & death. I say, focus on the everpresent love alive in the soul of the universe.
i have changed so much sence i came to this site so has the site i always check here but i yhadly ever post ah the good ole days
Because Religion, politics., war & death are our reality; however unpleasent. We could pretend taht that they don't exist, we could focus on happy things, but while our back is turned these problem will only grow, remember waht Hitler said: "How fortunate for leaders that men do not think" Bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd te,pt us to turn our backs...don't listen to them.......man I hate those bands.
I remember........ The whole 3 days ago..... I agree, why sholud we focus on all this crap?! It only gives it more power. Why whould anybody want to do that(Hitler)?! However, religion can be a form of "peace of mind", I mean it balences everything, and helps you feel good about life. I love living, and I hope I dont change. Please tell me if you see me starting to. Aesthetic Peace.
They're part of reality, but that's not all there is. Focusing on beauty only helps us to grow... You have to experience the whole world (including war), but what are YOU going to focus on? Too bad that you hate The Beatles and The Pink Floyd...they're amazing, artistic bands. So much for being open-minded, eh?
