The Days: Part 11

...and then there are the days when I realize that the time of true decision only comes at that moment when you are exposed before it...but when you awake to the dawn of decision, it is too late....you realize that somehow the decision has already been made....

sometimes i feel it is not ourselves that can make that decision. with time the answer is shown to you, whether you like it or not. if you act fast ebough you can control both the destiny of the situation and yourself, but usually with us these days we take our time to make decisions because we are unsure of ourselves and our intuition.

I personally think that we need to start seizing the day and making our future for ourselves. and by future i dont mean by career and what drink you should get at the bar. but by controling our situations so our paths lead to our favor.

i hope this made sense ^^

Frank Zappa said something like: "In the battle between you and the world, back the world." Uh-huh - an astute recognition of necessity and expedience as functional social wisdom.

Sometimes there's just nothing one can do about some aspects of having to get along on this spinning ball. It so often seems to be the case, that ignorance and prejudice is made to be functionally equivalent to the knowledge and wisdom that this civilised world supposedly values.

Any struggle of merit is therefore inevitably menaced. Advanced technologies such as electronics are not necessarily utilised in such a way to diminish this effect - yet.
If history is an indicator, it simply has not destroyed enough lives yet.

Ah well, life goes on and "civilisation" unfolds. Friends and some sort of principled functional clarity seem the relevant personal civilisation.

Life is tough - gotta find one's own satisfaction and consider others as well, in spite of it all. This world can be a real pip sometimes, eh?

Machiavelli said: "I think it may be the case that Fortune is the mistress of one half our actions, and yet leaves the control of the other half, or a little less, to ourselves. . . . a Prince who rests wholly on Fortune is ruined when she changes. . . . he will prosper most whose mode of acting best adapts itself to the character of the times; and conversely that he will be unprosperous, with whose mode of acting the times do not accord."

And he said: "I say that since Fortune changes and men stand fixed in their old ways, they are prosperous so long as there is congruity between them, and the reverse when there is not. Of course, however, I am well persuaded, that it is better to be impetuous than cautious. For Fortune is a woman who to be kept under must be beaten and roughly handled; and we see that she suffers herself to be more readily mastered by those who so treat her than by those who are more timid in their approaches."

"Friends and some sort of principled functional clarity seem the relevant personal civilisation." I totally agree.

Nicholas...
Machiavelli...nice! Thanks for stopping by to comment.

P...
I am trying to think of something to write, but my brain has come up to a huge wall that I seem to not be able to think past. Any topic suggestions? Thanks for the encouragement.

Nothing...
My decision is to embrace the demon.
