Important things

There are so many things in life that are not important. We continually obsess over the most trivial of matters. Try as we may, no one can choose what is relevant.

People who care put their opinions to the side. They realize no two people will agree on everything. Good and evil are not determined by a committee.

What we like is personal to us, and others might not share our interests. Quality is not subjective. However, perspectives are such by nature.

Those who love power have a deep desire for control. Other people are merely a resource. Hypocritically, they deem themselves essential.

You can stand for something without trampling everyone else. There are things in life worth fighting for. Yet, they do not exist between our ears.

Doing good is important... being right is not. One will improve everything, and the other is the height of vanity. The distinction is not a matter of opinion.

  1. if you'd stop being so defensive when we talk to ya, we'd take you more seriously on these matters. If you are following your heart and have nothing to be ashamed of, then these problems shouldn't come up. But you'll do what yer gonna do. It's really just worn me out. We'll be here if you need us.

    1. I always follow my heart, Tommy. It often takes me to places others have no interest in going. Which is fine, for I have no desire to share my burdens.

  2. Most of what I was told was important in life turned out to be more of a distraction than anything worthwhile, to know what really is important we have to look within. Love is all that is worth fighting for, all things Good are the direct result of Love. Right and wrong are a man-made division to keep us from our true purpose, and arguing opinions is precious time wasted.

    1. People waste a lot of time trying to prove they are right. In the end, it does not really matter if they are. That energy would be better used doing what is loved.
