I have decided to defend the American way of life, it's ideals and principles are right, but the people got lost in greed and affluence, the ideals are perfect but when people come into the equation whats right is only right for them, nothing will ever change unless people change and that seems improbable, so, going by our history, we can talk forever and promise soo much but tomorrow there will still be people, people who want control, wealth, and power, it seems we will live and die in this construct of life.
I've known people who have died at 4, 12, 15, 18, 22. 30, 41, 53, and more, does smoking help your life expenctiency, no, but you still die, at any age, do what you enjoy, or not, dont eat mcdonalds, dont consume gm foods, dont stay in the sun too long, dont drive fast, dont be, dont drink the water, It's ok, I dont smoke because I want to live longer, unfortunatly I will probably die early from a non smoking disorder.
Good question, the expection is that the YOU will be the same YOU tomorrow, but the you that exists today will be a different you tomorrow, subtle changes you dont notice, SO, who am I?, well, I won't be the me that I was yesterday, things that I don't notice will alter my perception, I WILL feel the same me, but my interaction in this experience changes all so slightly, so, who I am today is not who I will be tomorrow, now, to answer your other questions, How do you describe yourself?,.... A learning entity, ........Are you happy and content? I am today,................ Does happiness exist?.....That depends on you.
Very wise phatdrummer650 you are now eligible for a discussion on the possibility of being offered a place (if there is a cancellation) to present yourself in person, (video call won't do) to a third party who will decide if you meet the criteria that meets the expectations of the second party,, where you shall undergo a written test, followed by verbal communication to prove you are not phadrummer649, wherein you may be offered a place on paper in front of the first party, now, that offer will self destruct within 30 seconds, failure at this stage means you have to apply again. If you succeed when you reapply, you will then be part of a unique club called humanity, where you do EVERYTHING you want when you want, but don't complain about being ticketed for illegal parking.
Harmony comes from you, antagonistic comes from you, love comes from you, fear comes from you, everything comes from you, I'm not saying be selfish, what I have learned is that in the end its you that matters, noone else can feel it if you have pain, noone else can die in your stead, be harmonious if you feel you can, be not antagonistic, but in this sphere you are solely you.
I'm confused about what you want in life, it seems you are more preoccupied with what other people want or value, make your mistakes, you will anyway, no amount of advice I could give can change what you think, and what you,,,,,,,YOU,,,, think is most important, because WHAT you think will determine your future. Take the bull by the horns and do what you want to do,, all I can see from your post is what you have seen and heard, what you need to do, is see and hear and ignore and be you. Dont be afraid because fear ends progressive life, don't look outside of yourself, and don't ever base your expectations on anything outside of yourself. So, be true to YOU, and do what YOU want to do! Best Wishes for your future.
SHAWNTHOR, please dont look back with regret, she was the one at the time, but time changes everyone, look forward, all of our decisions, all of what happens in the past is what we are today, , I'm alive because I did not get into the car to go home with my friend when he crashed and was killed, forget the past, you dont live there, forget the future, you dont live there, this blog dont matter, be who you want to be and look to what you want to see, today!
