Don't say "No". Yes.

Why do we look to brokenness for standards of normalcy, but to alleviate responsibilities accepted as more burdensome than ennobling duty?

Cooperate with your bed and the floor, together and unopposed.

Don't say "No".  Yes.

Don't be a dick.

"Don't be a dick."

Anybody can be nice when they feel like it, and just as easily be a dick when they feel like it. Even beasts do this.

Practice a discipline of kindness, ESPECIALLY when you're not up to it, and you'll find it's a lot easier to resist being cold-hearted when experiencing some moodiness. The reason why: you're getting used to having feelings, instead of feelings having their way with you.

Chasing highs over lows (manic-dep.) or killing-off your sensitivity (psychopathy) is an immature response to your emotions.  However common that immaturity may seem, both ways are tense, and seeped in distrust, anxiety, and fear; both are downward spirals, opposed to reality... both untenable.

"Don't be a dick." Good advice.

divisive pseudo-spirituality...



A healthy belief-system enables you to relate-to your neighbor, not dismiss them & segregate yourself.  If your personal limitations require that you oppose others to defend your sense of self, then just know that as-it-is. Yet if your beliefs require you to oppose or distance yourself from others as a matter of ideal preference, then you need to think rethink them.

Should a soul long for justice or mercy? Which of these can we afford to live a-life-worth-living without? And how do we define these things? More importantly, what are these things our definitions merely echo? Do we hide behind definitions to terminate the challenge of conscience, of thought?

Be this person.

We need people who will accept the good in us despite our shortcomings, not reject the good in us because of them.  Still, do not long for this person; Be this person. 

Rejecting someone despite their great goodness says to them "your faults are far greater, still", but accepting a body despite his or her flaws says an edifying opposite: "You are lovable, and worth loving, in spite of your shortcomings". 

To others, and to yourself; Be this person.
