Begin to perfection. Moving your body to that perfect rhythm, and hoping that somewhere within your lifetime it would all unjumble and begin again into the memory of what should be.
We all go on and on, and we dance together, and sometimes alone, and that’s ok, (but what isn’t) is that small void that grows and breathes and breads within us, and we just don’t know why. But I, ben fox, figured it out, it’s the memory of what could be and isn’t, and that is why, friends, even if it were, it wouldn’t be.
Are you still with me? (I have always been annoyed at writers acknowledging themselves in what they have written, and even more when they make side note observations and ask meaningless rhetorical questions). I always tell people, don’t you dare come to me with a complaint, unless you (personally) are willing to help me fix it.
I take this very seriously. What good do you do anyone complaining, flapping your vocal cords together, sending out all sorts of negative feelings into this world? Do you think that being angry or unhappy/miserable is going to change anything? Have you ever watched someone (even in movies, or television) that has been to upset, stressed, depressed, and/or hopeless to see the answer right in front of them? Yeah? And there you are, yelling at the tv screen, “What are you doing?” shaking your head “Just tell her you’re sorry!” –or your friend Roger who hates life because, well, because Roger is fat. He spends so much time trying to make up for it in other aspects of his life, he works more than his friends, has more money, nicer car, better apartment, big screen, but he would trade it all to drop 50 pounds. To you or I the answer is simple. Jenny Craig, and an hour a day at the gym.
Like Roger, so many of us are too close to problems, and so biased as to what our abilities and limitations are, that we never make the changes that are truly important and really matter.
If Roger lost that weight magically, he would still be a fat man. He would still be intimidated by women, athletic guys, and crowds. He would still drag and shuffle his feet when he walks, look at the ground when he talks-or maybe he was on the other side of social extreme would he still be “the funny fat guy” at parties? Would he make jokes at his own expense? Without the process, of working hard everyday to lose that weight you don’t change the mentality that it built. Think to people who get rich quick. I love the question, “what would you do with a million dollars?”- advice, invest it(period). |
