Don't Lose Your Way.
It's up to you to determine your course and path in this life, it's easy to drift along the paths provided. College, cubical, steady job, easy life. No risk, no daring, no courage needed... it'll just work out sooner or later. After all, why should you do anything else? Dreams and visions are elusive, just the process of your mind giving way to something solid from the ethereal can be a painful birthing, the process of finding something you can truly be passionate about a mine field of the mind in a world where creativity is stifled and the values of finance and utility are pressed. Do not ignore such things, food and other basic things are an unfortunate nessecity of living, and when managed properly can enrich your life on the whole, but it is easy to be enslaved by these simple comforts, staples of the easy life that can prevent you from finding the road before you even leave your door. Complacency kills you long before you die.
Suffering: It's easy to be overwhelmed by the small things that come up in life. We are dragged down by these things and overwhelmed by them, like a large insect falling under a tide of biting ants, strong are the prison bars we create for ourselves. We must fight the ants, suffering is all a temporary problem. Money, pain, loss, gain, sorrow, joy. Waiver not in these things, or let them sway you towards the promise of easier paths. EVerything can be overcome with will to some extent and at the very least you can avoid being forced to your knees, and continue to slowly shuffle forward.
Seducution: Seduction is almost as, if not more dangerous then the internal world of suffering. The external pleasures that pull and ply at us are more wild and varied then the simple facts of suffering. They vary for each person, and come in many guises, they can be releases from suffering or responsability, ignorance, or the simple illusions of safety the unadventerous shield themselves from when one avoids the demons within and without, these are lethal in and of themselves, but when mixed with or in place of baser pleasures which can distract and enthrall us, seduction quickly gives way to destruction of the mind and self. Seduction can come in the form of people too counseling an easier path because they care or are worried, even if their real motive is jealous from not having the courage to do what you might be striving to do for yourself.Discard these people from your life, if they truly cared about you they would support you on the path.
The Path: We all have a road to walk, it has a beginning and an end. It must end, will end, at a time yet to be made known to you, and it began with your birth. These are the only sureities in life. That you have been born, and that you shall die. Everything else is up to random chance and you. Cock the dice in your favor and get running. Carve your own road, no one's going to do it for you.
