Suffering is something that we all share. Some of us more then others, but that doesnt mean it is any less. Some of us handle it is different ways, have built up a tolerance. Its how we handle it that shapes who we are to become. Suffering is something that can make us wise and compassionate towards others who suffer as well. It can open the heart and fill it. Some of us grow cold, cruel and disgusting. We become the tyrants, the bully, the cold as ice, full of hatred, device.
What is important is your mind set, the knowledge you hold to when yer down. ""What doesnt kill us, makes us stronger". "There is light, laughter, and joy even in the darkest of places." "Challenges may be met with contempt, sorrow, and pity, or we may rise above them and succeed despite the difficulty we meet". Wisdom is gained thru our experiences that either makes us or breaks us. Honor is an ideal that we must cling to. Our moral principles must be upheld at all cost and pride be taken in this way. We must stand strong and not compromise. We must show compassion and love even in the faces of our enemies. There is good in everything and this focus can be used to bring this goodness out to be seen. "The enemy is not really your enemy but your benefactor in disguise". There is always something to be gained, something to be learned, in every moment that we exist. This ideology, when understood and traveled, will always enhance us. In your darkest moments, it matters most what you do. It builds our character. Mistakes will be made by all, but it is not our mistakes that make us, it is how we learn and get thru them. Pity may be met, and thats ok, but we must remember that we are not always seemingly perfect, and we will fall down now and then, but and this is huge, we learn to stand upright and not fall the second time.. Yes its how we learn. Perfection is failure at times. Its important that we learn from our mistakes and grab a hold of the growth that is there available to us. A master is always looking for the way to success.

The treasure gained thru a path of hardship is incredible. Its a wealth, a storehouse, full of knowledge, wisdom, and power. We find a way to rise and become heroes. We become victors.. What is important is not only that we defeat the tyrants, or convert them back to the heart, but also that we share our knowledge, wisdom and power with others on our path. We must humble ourselves and not become so important that we look down our noses at the rest of civilization, and that we realize that there is commonalities that are within us all. Indeed we all share the same fate that is humanity. Sure we are all diserve, we are all different in ways but we all share many of the same characteristics. It is our commonalities that bring us together. Sure we may not all know the depths of sorrow, but surely we all know sorrow. If you have knowledge and wisdom that can help, teach, or spare your fellow man then it is our duty to be there for them. A leader in times of suffering. Suffering? A wealth of power? A blessing in disguise? Or a curse, a tragedy. Indeed it may all be in your mind, or what you make of it within your mind.

Tell me, being so low, looking down your nose at your fellow man, never offering a friendly hand, do you expect a hand be offered to you when yer down? Is karma real? Well I hope that a hand IS offered to you, and that the beauty in that act astounds you, and brings you some joy. I hope it betters you. I feel sadness, more then contempt, for the cold and cruel hearts. The ones who walk on the backs of their fellow man and woman. It is the experiences that shape us. How can a world bring one so high and yet leave you giving back nothing to the world. There must be a sense of balance in the universe and I believe there is. Suffering has taught me to see the world with new eyes. After seeking power and miracles I now seek the beauty and joy in small acts. I seek the miracle in everything.

An example, there was a boy I knew back in the day. He was constantly told he would never amount to anything. His parents constantly fosused on his every flaw, always ripping into him. Very often he was told how such of a failure he was. As he grew he sought always to be be better, to be perfect in every way. He never felt as if he was perfect enough and always wanted to be more. He achieved many acts of pure perfection and always was bettering himself.

So at times, we find that it is wise to invest power in a higher form. Believing in God and investing your power beyond yourself. Surely we are small, compared to the infinite wisdom of an all knowing moment, the universe, or God Himself.. It is not only wise to invest love and faith beyond yourself, but realistic as well.

The worthy opponent. Attacks your weaknesses. Knows how and when to attack. The better they are the better you will be from it. From their attacks you learn to turn weakness into strength. Not only are they attacking your will thereby exercising it, they are also showing you where your weak points are. It gives you, naturally, the insight as to what to fortify.

Time. Used wisely is a blessing. Used carelessly is a curse.

All we have is time. Time is whatever we make of it. I dont believe I can make a curse out of time, unless it is needed or perfect for my enemies. My enemies are wearing thin.
I think we need to keep sobriety, to make wise decisions. Fear can be a problem, and yet it can also empower us when we challenge it. I knw that fear has held me back and has made me weak in the past. Sure it advised me, yet it has also made to run straight into danger and confront my demons. I have, thru challenging my fear over come many obstacles. My worst fears are pretty vanquished. I do not empower fear and I overcome it. In time I think I shall have none.

Fear is a state of mind. Magic happens when we embrace or eliminate fear. Magic is beautiful.

That is a very beautiful outlook. I still have some fear left. But I am overcoming it. I have my know working for me. It supports me. When I know there is nothing to fear it eliminates danger. Its quite a blessing. I overcame my gap that way. And my old dangerous know.
I have blessed my fear, obviously, aside from eliminating danger, it also advises me and makes me wise and careful, and fear of death makes me perfect.

Eventually we each meet death. It comes for us all. If I ever meet a stray traveller on the path, I would advise him to be cautious. Appearances are deceiving and sometimes it's not Lucifer to be feared. What has been done in the name of God has been frightening. What's up is down and down is up. When the spinning doesn't stop, look carefully. Speak wisely, see broadly, act spontaneously. The unpredictable swirls the chaos. The unpredictable changes fate in your favor. When in doubt remember to twirl.
There are fates much worse than death. It is not death I fear. You should also not fear death. The passing of time moves slowly when we are waiting. Time speeds up when we're moving. It is nice to rest when time permits. Ideally, one never needs to move. Ideally, one never wakes. Ignorance is bliss.

Oh I dont know, I think intent is more powerful then even death. We only die because we intend to die. I am careful what to invest power in. I used to think that there were worse fates then death too. I am careful not to invest personal power in this for myself. I have good karma, good deeds and many blessings to rely on. I will continue to gather such blessings and share them with the good.
I have died a few times. I resurrect if I die. Automatically.

I've invested selfishly and benefited. One doesn't truly have to be selfless. Sometimes being selfish is the right choice. Use any approach in moderation, I suppose. Gather and share your blessings as you see fit. The joys of being free and knowledgeable have their perks. Helping others is great. Helping the self is great too.
