sometimes in life

sometimes in life, opportunities present themselves to yourself. sometimes it truly is a present and a blessing. sometimes in life, said opportunities aren't given freely, sometimes they come at a cost. other times, the cost greatly outweighs the profit. most times, however, you, dear reader, truly do understand and have judge for yourself,is this really worth the reprecussions? will my personal gain be a gain for everyone else, or will it just be for myself

after much deliberation, after much forethought, after all the blessings are counted & the curses weighed, one absolutely must think of how others would benefit from taking advantage of said opportunity.

in all of my experience, with so many things said and done, with so many bad and good choices made, i have found that sometimes not making a choice and just waiting it out, works loads better than choosing the wrong action.

a great man once said, "it is better to be thought of a fool, rather than to open your mouth and prove it." if silence is golden, sometimes it is better to share your gold with others around you.

sometimes in life, i hear people offer up useless platitudes. they promise and they convince. sometimes in life, they follow through, they decide for themselves that a person is worth their promises, that they must succeed in what they have set out to do. other times in life, people do not hold true to their word. sometimes, it doesn't matter, most times it does.

if we are truly alone in life, if we are the only person that we can realize, if we can convince ourselves that we are the only person that truly matters, then i say this: if you can fall asleep soundly at night, if you can look past your actions, not just of the days, not just the weeks, not just the years, but you entire life, then i believe you to be either under the tendencies of sociopathy, or you truly are a good person.

no one wants to be a cog in this terrible machine that has formed around us. no one wants to support murder, mayhem, violence and chaos. no one wants blood on their hands, especially from an innocent.

one thing that we all have to realize, it is this way for a reason. nothing happens without reason. nothing doesn't matter. we are matter. in this phyisical world, we do matter, our actions matter, even our thoughts matter. they aren't anyones but our own. we choose who to share them with. we choose how to act.
