human being. I accepted no disdain as a reason to reign in my
conflicting resolutions, always paid lip service to any cause that
seemed implausible, and endeavor never to refuse to help
anyone who might benefit fro m it. When I reiterate my
plausibility in favorable conduct, sensibility, or thought, I
increase the extent of shape and direction of the lines of my
extant being as the y fade into death essence.
Painless Expiration
What causes capitulation of the spirit to endless criticism tha t
invades our self-awareness, why do we beco me depressed whe n
scorn is heaped upon us by our loved ones? I mean, your mothe r
raging at you for being screwed up, it depletes yourself image;
the aim of which, of course, is to make us realize that we were
supposed to behave differently. What happens is that everybod y
seems to think that every expectation must be met by anyone
upon whom we impose our will. To relinquish an obligation is
to allocate authority for so meone else to make decisions for us .
The constant degradation is worse than death because a perso n
could go through life without feeling there's importance to his
existence; ergo, I can't do anything of value to satisfy those
about whom I care. One, however, must develop a technique to
desensitize the initial response to criticis m and listen carefully
to the tones of the speaker, and only then draw conclusions
whether the implications of the re marks may have some value.
We must raise above unpleasant circumstances; out of the
abyss of confusion create the beauty of togetherness. T he mirth
of festive rejoicing reconnects the soul essence with seasona l
changes such as the planting and harvest seasons. Few people
are sensitive to natural processes; fewer yet ever tread upon a n
earthly surface such as grass. People are appalled by the genetic
mutation of fresh produce, but stuff it d own their throats. Whe n
the airwaves carry no impulse that was expressed from happ y
souls, and if nary be heard the laughter in the winds , the leaves
on trees will droop and branches become too weak to bear the
weight of fruit. When we export positive feeling to all within
range, the spirit goes fro m within my soul to the extended self
beyond my physicality. Recognition from within that goodness
fills the world obligates us to co mmunicate happiness. "Whe n
you're happy the sun co mes shining through!"
