The Death Of Common Sense

Today I read the obituary for common sense. It’s very sad but makes sense on how diluted and small minded this world has become. When practicing good hygiene becomes means for suspension, or a playground crush is turned into a civil lawsuit, or when having a child in class means raising them and teaching the things that should be learned at home. What has happened to our minds when these things are okay? Can we resurrect common sense and restore it back to its old self and bring our economy and each other back to a sound mind? How far-fetched this seems is baffling to the most of us. Think about your childhood and the silly little games that were played outside on playgrounds, and in the yard. Think about how different that play has changed and how the things that happen can be taken to court. Tap is taken as sexual harassment or unwanted touching. Hide and seek is an invasion of privacy and space. Why are we taking away our children’s innocence by nip picking at every little thing and turning it into adult games? Let children be children and have that special innocence that make them a child. Because once that innocence is gone, it’s gone forever. Stop trying to sue everyone for the things you should have been paying attention to or should have not taken so deeply into meaning. Do not force views on a child that they cannot properly understand them. 

Stop trippin' on the sidewalk cracks

Isn’t it crazy how things happen? How things don’t go any way you would have hoped or planned?
Sometimes that is a good thing and other times, it’s horrible.
The really messed up part is when the horrible outweighs the good. This is too often and you all can agree. Life has different ways of teaching you a lesson and it hurts more than we would like.
When someone falls into your life, sometimes that’s a good. You weren’t looking for them but somehow they found you. But when it becomes a deep pain within you it's different. Not just with a person but with anything.
Think about a time when you just tried to do things a certain way because you thought that would be best. Think long and hard about it. Did it work out? Was it like you hoped or better? Or did it go off track and mess up your pretty little plans? More than likely it messed things up for you.
Walk down a road without ever looking at a sidewalk and see how many times you trip. Close your eyes and walk through your room and see how many things you bump into. We think we know the things around us when in reality we don’t. We see them every day. We do them in an unconscious realm of our minds because we do them all the time. But do you not see that this is what is important. What we have every day.
Take a detailed look at your life; at yourself. At the people you interact with everyday. Do you like what you see? Are you happy with that outcome? How do you feel? Are you satisfied?
If not, deal with it. Find somewhat to change it one thing at a time. Not all at once. It will only backfire. And when the shit hits the fan you'll be the only person standing there. Breathe easy for a moment. Take time to not care or pay attention. Then when you do, it will all come back to you clear as day.
Then when you go walking again, you won’t trip nearly as much.

But because we fall, we learn to stand stronger

When a baby is learning to walk they fall many times, in many different ways. Sometimes they fall on their face but after that they learn to fall on their butt because it doesn’t hurt as much. Falls let us know how to fall properly and how to stand strong enough to where we don’t fall again. However, this does take practice. When you are down or “falling”, watch yourself fall and see how it hurts or what hurts after you land. Examine this and figure out which way is best so that you if it happens again, the outcome is different. Also, find out what is tripping you and let yourself know what is causing this to happen. Remove this thing from your life and learn to stand stronger. Once that baby has figured the proper way to stand, walking is accomplished. After watching “The Secret”, I have come to realize that they way we think is how we live our life. Things in my life, for now on, will be positive and will be geared more toward helping me and others than thinking of what couldn’t, what didn’t, or what shouldn’t happen. Change is among us. I want to change for the better and I want it to start now.

We Fall

In this life we fall. What is there to catch us is what matters. Is there anything to catch you; is there someone there to help you? Is there a way to get back to where you were? The things that are handed to us are normally wrapped in unfairness but we are told to play the cards no matter how crappy they are because we have no choice but to and we cannot ask for new cards, because this is not the way the game works. Is it possible that the deck is full of shitty cards and yo9u could pick as many as you want but you will never get to a place you want to be. Or could it be that the good cards are scattered in front of us along with some cruddy cards and that when they are picked up they seem too good to be true, so we put them back and giggle at our foolishness because we are used to the run down ones that se4em to make sense. It’s time to break the cycle of distrust of the cards we were dealt to this game of life, this cruel game that only the most selfish people seem to win at. It’s hard but the honest people can win too. Pick up the good cards and hold fast to them. You came across it because you deserve it. It was meant for you. If you cannot build from the one card, collect them, save them until something wonderful can manifest from what you’ve done. In the end falling will seem like something good because now you can pick up some more of those good cards that you walked past and get further than before. Make the bottom cushy for the next time you may lose you footing. Also when there is someone waiting for you at the top, it’s easier and you get there a lot faster. What will be done with this new knowledge? Will anything good come of it, or will it be tossed to the side like other miscellaneous things or put in a place to be seen and observed every day? You decide.

A cushioned fall is all that is asked for if a fall is necessary. “You have strayed off of your path, but you will find it soon.” “You are the light of my way.” When people are blindsided but what is to come next they miss what is happening now. Looking too far into the future will cause most people to fall much more often and harder than normal. Not to the bottom but on their face. On a path in the woods or on a broken sidewalk there is stumbling if the person walking is not paying attention to their footing. Trying to run is not possible. Being sure footed is the best way to move, but when your eyes are to the sky and your head is in the clouds this will not be possible. Sometimes slow and steady isn’t just for the tortoise but for those that have learned to move too quick and at a whim. They have more bruises than needed. A stumble every once in a while is good to help one keep in mind to watch their steps a little more carefully next time. But it is worth it in the end. When looking too far ahead nothing good will come of it. That is when a map is needed. You find your destination on the map and work towards it. You know which way you are headed and where you want to go, you just have to take the time to get there. Then there are those people that do not want a map and would be much happier wandering aimlessly and happily. They find wonder in not knowing where they are going and taking the time to stop every so often to enjoy what is now. Living in the moment is their way of life and for them it is happy but everyone on this large blue and green rock is different and has a different way of going through life. As humans we are only supposed to see but a few steps in front of us. Seeing too far into our own futures will cause mayhem. We can have a lantern to show us how to walk so we don’t destroy our lives without warning. Think about what matters to you and focus on that if you find no reason to continue. And you would like to quit or give up.
