More from Shane_Frost
Someone Hurt you..didn't they..?
So when they find you kneeling in your corner and asking why you bother with kindness, why you bother to hope, why you bother with striving for better when someone will come along to tear it away from you..remember you always have an answer. The cracks let the light inside.
It's a notion the young and young at heart may now and again forget. There is this impatience, this zest for life. A burning desire, born of fear and nurtured by expectation. There are souls who fear death, and so they wait for little in their lives. They growl that they've places to go, truly uncertain where it is they are even going to. They burn through life and the people along the way with ultimatums and spectacles that the mountains must be moved before their time is up. They want to live forever, unaware the reason they so desperately yearn for life is because they have not taken the time to truly live it.
So in their panic, in their desperation..they begin to harm others if for that abstract value we know as time. They harm as I have been harmed by someone I never quite expected it from. I expected my blood to boil, my pulse to quicken and terrible things to spring from myself.
Instead..I looked deeper down inside myself and I found a faceless thing that stared at me from the mirrors in my dreams, and it whispered " Nice to see you again old man. " before breaking the glass.
My dears. If I could take your hands right now I would. I would hold them close to my chest and I would tell you this..
Be patient with who you are. Remember you are surrounded by life, and beautiful people. Believe you have a voice that doesn't need to reason with fire but with passion. Please don't..let it rule you. Don't let it come out in terrible ways. Don't let it hide your curiosity or silence your voice or-or make your fists clench. You have so much from the moment your eyes open...it should not be a waste to you..

Sometimes...
It does not matter if you are positive, do whatever you can, and if everyone is also positive, and do everything they can.
Life sometimes feel spiteful. What Nature has given, it can take back. And it will not be gentle about it. Sometimes, misery happen for just no reason whatsoever, at no one's fault, with absolutely no happy ending or even any reason. Nihilistic absurdity in its purest form.
It is difficult to stay optimistic when the -world itself- seem determined to bring you down.

Perhaps..perhaps...and yet..Perspective I feel is paramount, for as one tires and begins to settle into the notion that their feelings and actions little matter in the wake of an endless ocean of struggles, they become consumed by the burden of nothing. It may be difficult, yet it is not arbitrary.
The appearance may appear in spite, that we are being punished, and that terrible things are upon us..but a bit of perspective rallies the notion all things have a purpose or use to ourselves, good and bad. If not for ourselves then for another. The only matter left in question is if we shall seek to utilize it. The world itself is not determined to bring one down, otherwise it would have long ago fallen to the wallowing of apathy and hatred. It is simply..human. Individual, unique, and uncertain. Now there is the condition.
Mind you, just a personal thought.

I can understand.
And rationally, I understand that everything is a consequence of something. And that sometimes, bad things happen due to circumstances out of one's control. But they remain frustrating and emotionally taxing even so.
In particular, the simultaneous loss of the future of one's family, permanently losing a friend not because of the friendship ending but by a third-party pulling the cord permanently for a misguided and spiteful reason, and sickness all slamming into oneself at the same time.
So much misfortune, all after another, within the wake of a single day, when one of those misfortunes alone would cause enough stress to prevent sleep.
Rationally, all happen for a reason and it is pointless to dwell on negative occurances. But emotionally, one suffer, even if one knows that such suffering serve no purpose. The body, the mind does not care. It is outside of your control, like the misfortunes themselves.
And in a way, it is the true test of one's mind, when one think about it.
It is one thing to face most types of loneliness and anxieties. It is another to face true tragedy in its heartless splendor. The reaper tearing away large swats of your future can put into perspective much of what one used to take for granted...

Oh I quite agree with yourself and I dare not say one withhold feeling any one emotion for even things as frustration and turmoil have a unique effect. At the end of it all we have no say in what shall happen to ourselves. We do however have a choice in how we respond to it. Have heart, my friend. Have heart and strength we all walk the same road but not the same path.
Yup, I've been there and sometimes I despair of things changing for the better and wish everything wold be consumed by fire in an instant!
Yet, I do not truly wish that for there is still much good in the world and it would be a great evil to wipe that away.
I do not comment often, but I will always admire your eloquent, poignant and introspective words, they are a soft blessing.
