my purpose

i ask what is my purpose in life. you don't  have to answer because it not you that i ask- its me. i ask myself Dan what is your purpose in life?

i get many conflicting answers, sometimes it is to get a good grade, sometimes to achieve a certain goal. many times it is to be successful and leave a life of opulence. a few times it just to get a few deadlines met and a few problems sought. but is that all i was born to do. was i made to go through life  without having any unique effect on the world? is my destiny same as many others- to leave and die without some sort of acknowledgment for my efforts?

why do you live and toil? dress up, go to class and learn things? why  is it important you get married and raise a family. why work and take all sought of crap from people  you don't  even like? is a ritual? are you doing all this because you have nothing else to do? it may seem harsh but this is a what we need to ask ourselves i am passing time before i did or i have discovered my purpose and i am doing something to realize it?

people like Hitler also went to school and got a job. even the wicked and crooked wake and go to sleep get married and die. accountants, lawyers and philosophers have jobs. priests and politicians run the mouth and try to lie and tell people what to do. teachers teach and police persons keep law and order. so are this life purposes? are you aiming for one of this? to teach, preach, guard and what have you? is this one of your goals that you are working hard towards?


you realize that i am asking many question, is life about asking yourself question and looking for the answers? it might well be something simple than that. sometimes we just have to relax and let nature take its course. but we cant afford to just exist and wander away from what life real is. i cant say i know what life is but i know something that it is not and i think that's a start, don't you?

i die for you

i heard i man sing that song today.
he said everything he did he did for her
and everything she was he was too
it made me think
how realistic is that?

i mean it one thing to say it but another to walk the talk
if someone said they would die for me
i will thank them but will inform them that it would not be necessary
ha! now you think i am some sought of prideful idiot that thinks he is a cut above the rest
but all i am is realistic
i know my limits and strength
i know what i can and cant, promises i can make and those i cant keep
i know myself- i know human nature

if you trust in something well and good
if you don't fine too
but you must be ready for heartbreaks for failure
deception and cruelty
this is not a world for the gullible, the soft and the naive
it for the ruthless, thankless and immoral go-getters
i neither for the say that an extreme is never a good choice
i am not sitting on the face either
i have decided to plough my own way as i go along

promises

The problem with most of our promises is that we do not intend to keep them. We say them for convenience, be it in a relationship or any other area. Promise because there is a time span between when the promise is being made and it actualization. This is plain mean and selfish but it is also human. We can’t accuse and vilify a person for being human but this is not an excuse for us to continue dishing out lies and empty promise

 

 

Someone once said that the best way not to break a promise is not to give it in the first place. Easier said than done, we find ourself in moment of emotional euphoria and when the question is popped we simply answer in affirmative. Sometimes it crueler than that we string people along, giving out false hope and aspiration knowing affirmatively that we don’t intend to honor our promise immediately we gain our hearts desire. This calculated also planned fraud is at the very least shameful and distasteful but when there is an office to be coveted, or a status to be raised this seems a small enough price to be paid.
