A moment lasts forever. Tomarrow's yesterday is Today and Yesterday's tomarrow is now. I've live a life time of now's. Tomarrow's never come and I can only look back at yesterday, never return to it. I feel like I grow in moments.
Experience brings me closer to an understanding of what life really is. Love and Sacrafice. I realize I find it so easy to sacrafice for the sake of those I care for and Love; but constantly wonder if I do that for those I don't. That is a question I sometimes ponder. But lately I think more about my morals. Which do I hold myself too. And which can I expect others to follow. Obviously I can expect to hold myself to a more rigid code than I can expect others too. But where is it out of line for me to say that is wrong? And I think the trouble with this line of though is that it leads to relativism. For the easy of conflict one might say to one's self "I am out of line telling this person what and what not to do." Where in reality you could be just running away from something thats hard to do. Dropping your cross so to speak... or not. I mean can I expect to enforce my standard of ethics in my own home? But not in a neighbors? Maybe the line is at expressing and explaining what you believe to others instead of enforcing it? But at what point am I backing down to avoid conflict? And at which point am I just picking a fight? Dunno. Thats just a question or two that plauges me.
Here's another thought. How do you let others affect you? When it boils down to it everyone has an effect on everyone. But to an extent every person can moderate, mediate, and impeade that effect to some extent if the wish, maybe even nullify it. You hear it all the time when people say "I'm not going to let it bother me." You have that ability not to let it bother you to an extent. We are capible of limiting the affect that others have on us. Both in good ways and in bad. We can limit the affect peoples complements affect us or their insults. And I have a feeling we do it with God too. He offers us advice and pointers and compliments and repremand and yet we try to limit His influence on us. I think we do this because it makes us vaulnerable... but thats just me I could be wrong.
Anyway I'm just kinda rambling tonight. I would love to hear any comments or line of thinking you have on these topics. Just leave it as a comment, but please leave your name so I know who I'm talking too :)
Sleep well dream better pray bestest.
Peace,
