What Is Your Destiny

June 24, 2009

Ever think about destiny . Even if you don t believe in manifest destiny for your country, what about your own. A lot of people think our destiny its pre ordained. Fate - destiny - dealt the cards and we have to live with them. Kiss fate and live with it. I mean, to go through life believing you can t make any real difference - in anything. That you have no choice, no matter what you do the results will be the same. It s kind of like living in the middle ages when, if you were born a peasant or a serf you would die a serf no matter how hard you worked or how good you got to be at whatever you did. Or if you were born a noble you would die a noble - no matter how lazy or incompetent you were, no matter bad you might be at what ever you did. We no longer live in that kind of world.

Confusion 2: Confused People Think That There Is Only One View Point

March 10, 2009

Ever notice how strongly people argue for their preconceived notions. A couple, for example, will be fighting all the time. No matter what the agreed upon topic, all fights are about one thing: who is right. No wonder nothing gets resolved. The mature person recognizes that no one on this planet sees the world or anything in it, exactly the same way as they do. Look at your hand, palm side toward you. You would describe it differently from a person sitting opposite to you. Same hand, different viewpoint. All conflict is like this. Same issue, different description. Each person collects information about the world. Each person decides how to sort, arrange, explain, understand and respond to that information. No two people can ever do this in exactly the same way. Therefore, there will always be difference of opinion over meaning. Knowing that, why fight...
