It may seem that I am updating a lot these days, at least, today, because I am in turmoil, and, as such, I need to write as much as possible to get these things off my chest...a record of the past, a past that in this case of personal struggle must be remembered if progress means anything at all.
In order for me to grow and to make any progress whatsoever - emotional, spiritual, psychological, mental, and philosophical, I need and must give up some of my normal attitudes and let go of myself for who I am in order to discover more of who I am. It is not an easy task, and with it, comes pain, and suffering, a daily, minute-by-minute struggle of attrition within myself that results in warfare, and total obliteration of the old self in a very, VERY long time...
I realize that in my Protected Postings I am blunt, honest, and quite specific (although there is the common emotional descriptions of events)...but, the point is, progress needs to be me made, and with it, my personal security becomes not as important as progress itself. After all, considering that I am insecure inside, what is there to lose by making PROGRESS? There are things in life that I have to do that requires sacrifice, that means letting of my security boundaries in order to let you see me for who I am - a rare opportunity mind you...
Over all, no matter what kind of progress we make - security is not always the number one priority, although it is, we should not take it too seriously or else it would seriously jeopardize the whole purpose of any mission in life. It means the following: While security, friendship, and trust are priceless themselves, there is a cost to progress - letting go of a bit of security, making new friends, and bonding to make more trust - because if we are to go anywhere as a species, even as individuals, if we always follow our own ways, we might as well be called arrogant cowards or whatnot. But, I am not intending to insult anyone here, I am just saying - there is a heavy price for the progress of friendships - co operation, honor, loyalty, duty, and humility on both sides. It is a game of reciprocity - I be selfless, so should you. Philosophical, emotional, psychological, and personal growth, progress, and maturity all begins with sacrificing a bit of something, because if we do not, there won't be anything to gain.
I understand the perspective that some people have about the pricelessness of security, and the safety issues that follows along with it, but, we can't allow this whole ideology, like doublethink to get in the way of progress can we? To gain progress, there is always more price to trust, to friendships, to security - we need to pay off our duties in order to make the forward march. It is no easy task to explain this whole concept to myself, nor to you, the public, but, I hope you understand as I have finally come to terms with this and my own fault of slowing down progress between me and my friends. Is this personal? Oh, hell yeah! But, if I don't say this, what is whole point of having a Xanga in the first place? Isn't it a place for personal growth as well as we learn from our past, and from others the cost of friendship, of trust, and and of security itself? Am I hopeless, and in vain? Oh, yeah I am, but what is the point of complaining about it? To feel better of course, but we still got to live life to whatever degree we can. I may be a pessimist, but I have hope, because hope is the only thing remaining in Pandora's Box - because without hope, there wouldn't be Pandora - it is she that we have to thank.
Yours, with much love
