Random Idealness
Thinking allot recently about many different things. I think I cling to the sad and depressing things because I find more emotion in them. Not just in myself but others. People seem to be more human, more vulnerable, more real, when the worst things happen to them. When people are lost and hurt looking for shelter or relief. It builds a common quality in man that can't really be found else where. Sure the happier moments are blissful and great, but they also breed laziness and greed. At least they seem to in me. I want to stay in that bliss and start to forget the rest of the world. I always lose those feelings that I seem I want to hold onto the most. Time erodes my emotions quicker than anything else. I read a book about the horrible things going on wanting to change the world, and the next moment I'm wondering what the white stuff is in my snickers. I wonder what will break this new one, but what I really want to know is how to keep it.

as long as the sad/depressing things breed movement and not total depression in which nothing is accomplished i will not advise you to focus on the good things in life. also don't forget to see the good things in people/things and not just the stereotypical "badness" that you want to see.
Judge, what you wrote about sounds like the pride cycle. I wish I had something profound to say about it. The only thing I can say is to remember the Lord always, especially when he blesses you, that's when it matters the most.

Thanks for the snickers man. I really did enjoy being your roommate. I am having fun here in Tonga so you keep having fun in Hawaii.
the other weird thing about that is how close we keep our grief. we desire to share it so that we can connect with others...yet when it comes to getting rid of it we don't want to shake it because we feed off the attention it attributes to us. at least...that's how it is with me. but we all know i'm a freak and the F-word incarnate. ;)
