So as that first snow falls, I am
sipping on my morning coffee. It is a very smooth blend. It is so
smooth that it is almost sweet. The light cold in contrast to the
dark warmth I hold in my hands brings my attention to so many things.
It lets me know that the world is in a constant state of transition.
Things are not always what they seem. The world is always working to
get somewhere that we are not. The wold wants balance, and we seem to
want growth. That growth comes from conflict, but in the end we will
have balance. Nature is a force of, well its a force of nature. So it
will win regardless of what we think. Nature is powerful, and more
powerful than human nature. The world has its own laws, and these are
not laws that are written on paper for us to review. These laws of
natural order do not care if you believe in them. They do not care
what church you go to, or what party you vote.
In these laws you find the reality of
the world we live in. There are things we can understand about
reality by looking at scientific laws. Physics, at least the parts we
collectively understand, let us know how bodies are supposed to move
and interact. We know the desire of things to move from high pressure
to low pressure. We know how carbon, nitrogen, and other elements
move through the world in constant cycles. Seasons come in order, and
there is very little we can do to effect that. We are forced to deal
with this greater force.
Now after yesterday I am sure many of
you are wondering what the fuck I am talking about. Well here is the
rational about this. You see we have this thing in humanity we call
belief. We believe things so much that we can perceive them as truth
or even as laws. We want so bad for one person to go against nature
and be that hero we feel we need. We want someone to be that knight
in shining armor that can fix this world we live in. We want someone
else to be responsible for us, because at the root level we are herd
animals. However belief does alter nor change the reality of the
situation. You want to understand things, look at the results that
produce in the world. You want to know if this person is your
political savior that can do no wrong? Well look at the deeds, and
not there words.
If you say that something is going to
do something, lets say produce jobs, and it does not; well its simply
not going to become true because you believe it. I am not looking for
a leader to tell me how to live my life. I am looking more towards
someone that will run the government, or at least be the face of my
government, and more importantly; keep said government out of daily
decisions. It boils down to responsibility. I am okay with embracing
my responsibility to myself. We all have our own sense of this, and
so many would rather caste it off in favor of comfort. Sure we can
judge people by their charity, but forced charity is not a true
reflection of kindness. Hand outs hurt. Independence and self
reliance is what made this country shine. That is what made us
standout in front during the industrial revolution.
So deeds are deeds, words are words.
Deeds can leave a much longer effect. Nature will always look to
achieve balance. Humans will always strive for growth. This need for
growth is our nature and believe it or not, its in harmony with
nature. Things that work against that make us feel uncomfortable and
breed discontent. If it feels wrong, but sounds right, its most
likely wrong. Reality is stronger than belief, and no matter how much
you think someone is an asshole, they are not capable of breaking the
laws of nature. People who grow and evolve are not against nature.
Nature is full of change. Water flows, and is a powerful force. Wind
blows and does more with less mass, using the mass of others. A creek
will alter the world in greater ways than a tsunami. Change occurs
daily in the the natural quest for balance, so is it strength to have
your beliefs change as life goes on?
You can cling to a party, or you can
cling to concepts, either way life will go on. You can tell the world
what you want, or you can ask it what it wants? You can try to work
against reality, or you can accept your place in it. You can
understand the responsibility you have for yourself, or you can be a
delusional sleep gratifying pussy that blames their faults on
everyone else.
