Do we stop to appreciate how great we really have it. What we forget often is we live in a world with a vast amount of man-made luxury. We have become so jaded by the convenience of such things, until we take it for granted and become to expect opulence and pageantry, far and above what we appreciate of what is reality within our presence. (people sadly disregard this, because they are in pursuit of fantasy above appreciating the actual reality of what is existing in their space and place with the person and individual they are sharing with.) We act so frequently like spoiled brats filled with cycles upon cycles of expectations, unaware of how great we have it, just to have peace within the space and place we are with whom we are sharing with. If we realize that at any moment, by man made or natural disaster it can all vanish and true challenge and desperation can surround us to the point, that all we can think of is basic survival with the bare basics if we can have the simple access to the barest basics. I think we forget, that the simplicity of having a place to dispense of body waste can become a challenge as well as the basics of a simple drink of fresh water. Despair can encircle our lives until we can be driven to find ways to appreciate even the individuals that we once may have detested their mere existence. We can be placed where such one's become the only things between us and certain demise of our life. We probably would do ourselves well, to come down a notch and see what is and know what can befall us... Then we might find that we have very little time to invest in the vain spoiled brat mentality of motivation and actions. We often don't realize that at a flash of a moment, we can become in vegetative state in a hospital bed, or maybe not even be able to be maintained in a hospital setting. We can at any age, have a debilitating stoke that changes life immediately. NONE is exempt from these potential scenario's.. We can become bedridden to the point we can't even think beyond pain and despair to even become sensually aroused, or maybe in a situation that we can't even reach down and arouse ourselves. Yes, as I write, there are many in such situations and some are being thrust into these situations every minute of every day in some place around the world... And the shocker, is, we do not have access to any place or moment, that purely exempts us from this possibility. That's reality far and beyond fantasy.... But when we get too high on ourselves, there can be simple ways to fix that... Go to a senior citizen complex, or go to a convalescent home or maybe even go to an orphanage or just walk down the street and see some homeless and destitute individuals. For some of us, we might not have to go far, because it could be a next door neighbor whom despair which some of many calamities of despair may have befallen... and even for some, it may be as simple as walking in the other room and seeing a family member whom has been cast into a dire challenge of life functions. Pretty is no protective barrier, nor is youth or being aged, We are more venerable than we know.... because if we did know, we'd probably find ways to appreciate more than to sit with a mind full of ritualistic expectations and lack of concerns to be considerate and simply appreciate things, stuff and people. One day, if you live long enough, that thing between you legs won't work the same as it does today enjoy the sharing of its gifts while you can.. for every time your vanities ego drive you to deny sharing it, you are equally so denying yourself what sharing can fulfill within you as well..; that face that you are so consumed and maybe even overwhelmed about, will not look the same nor will it convey the allure that you may stake so much value upon for the whole of your years if you live long enough. And it is without a doubt a certain fact, the shape of that butt.. by the fact of life, will change. Many many things that money nor ego can fix... can become you and what is yours... So in these scenarios, where do we have time to truly play status delusions, and become caught in vain expectation consumptions of wanting and nearly demanding that our butts be kissed, just to get a response to a simple hello... or to share a word... We might not realize it, but we can loose our ability to speak and the gift of sight can vanish without an ready fix..... That's what is potentially real in this spectrum of life. Yesterday, some workmate-friends together we shared lunch at one of the line served dinner style buffet eateries... While we waited, many many very very elderly people came in, some with wheelchairs, caines, and variety of challenges including simply being old and fragile in motion and movement. As we waited, each of the guys, opened the doors and it was amazing the graceful appreciation the people expressed for the simple kindness we showed in holding the door for them... The women who shared with us, we equally gracious to the many senior and elderly who came past us. These people all made their way to come to this place, they prepared themselves to the best of their ability, all the concepts of sexual allures was not an overt thing in the onlooking perceptions of their condition and appearance... nor was that a factor in the showing of kindness to them... It was not even pity, it was the simple respectful grace of person.... So to each, if we live we may well be the individuals at some point and time.. But; how often do we take time to see the reality of people at these various stages and changes of life. and appreciate them simply by gesture, actions and even simple responsive acknowledgment? Do we get hung up on our youthfulness of being in their presence, that our vanity is so great, that we can easily discount them and dis acknowledge them. and be void of grace and regard? Do we have some delusion to assume they don't have the right to be there, do we think them being there has taken anything from us? So much our vanity of and about our lives, especially when our big concern is about how much money we make and how alluring we think we are? Until sometimes it makes us the biggest idiots to exist. Some like to travel, and going places seeing people who have less and thinking its so quaint and we see it as some form of novelty, rather than seeing it for the reality of the challenges that exist within the lives of the people. We see people doing things manually that we have become so accustom to having done for us, or having some gadget to do it automatically, that we fictionalize the challenges of the people as some novelty like memory.... How often do we see and look at the challenged and give them kinds eyes in response.??.. often what we do we ... divert our eyes and pre plan to not look at them? Do we know, that one day, they could be any of "us"... So, it might be wise to not let our over priced clothes and designed over paid for labels make us delusional about whom we are as simply people... Maybe we may not get so hung up on what we can pay for and realize, that too can change, where all your money can become practically meaningless; other than to pay for a care taker or a medical bill. yep, that includes your fancy cars and things, which either will be sold or driven by someone else, without you being able to even see it drive away. And the greatest thing in your life can become the simple appreciation of a smile from someone or just the presence of someone saying, they still consider and care about you. So when people get hung up on their romantic pursuits and become lost in this aim to corral some romance fictional scenarios or maybe they may long for a real time simple appreciative romance moment, Don't get so hung up on ego, status and vanity to the point that your pre-set expectation make you into a fool who can't appreciate anything or anyone. if they are not patronizing you with flattery. Realize that your degrees and any other status measure thing can become meaningless while you still have breath and awareness in life ... and there can be nothing you can do to change it, and you come to find your degree, status or money or looks won't do anything to change your condition.. That's what reality can present itself in your living experience... So... it might be wise to cut the bull crap and learn to appreciate and be motivated to share what is the gift of ability to be expressive and share in the expressions with others. Don't let vanity's ego destroy what you are capable of being within your living. Have fun, enjoy living and by all means, be driven to "appreciate many things" and delight in your opportunity in life to be able to share.... If "one" is wise, this will uplift one in spirit even though it might bring down one's ego.... in the big picture of it all ... it just might make one a better person in being aware to appreciate more than to shun, judge and be negligent of others or mistreat other because of their situations or conditions.  Train up a in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 13:8-10 ( about ... consideration and beauty) Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 1 Peter 3:1-22 Do we stop to appreciate how great we really have it. Don't let vanity's ego destroy what you are capable of being within your living. Have fun, enjoy living and by all means, be driven to "appreciate many things"...... BeyondFantasy..... |
