[P] A response to a friend

I hesitated on posting this but decided that i would do it anyways. This is a response to a friend who was speaking about the dissatisfaction with both position in life as well as effectiveness of advocacy.

My response is as follows:
Benjamin Franklin said "A man is not completely born until he is dead." Sometimes it is the death of notion and novelty that enlivens us to live authentically. I respect what you are going through since you are me as you are all men, trapped in the existential condition of living and dieing by measures to great and to small to describe sententiously. I especially appreciate your commentary on the idea of impotence. For me it was realizing that I am the most important person and at the same time the least important person in the world that allowed me to shift the paradigms of my own though into the cohesive notion of service to others and all things. While i have no power it is the acceptance of eventuality that allows me to draw strength. That i cannot effect change i can only help to facilitate it is a tenement of my spiritual foundation

Although I may never change someones opinion i will however force someone to confront their own opinions so that they can mull over the choices they have made based on their specific moral compass and chose perhaps one day a version of compassion, which may be dissimilar to mine but ultimately the process of enlightenment was never meant to be a reflection of one mans journey. It is independent of movement and time only this ticking second hand rocking back and forth until it faces a personal true north guiding us into greater heights of mentation.

Being alone in a crowd is a feeling that society creates as a means in which to subvert us and make us weak, easier for the Walmarts of the world to pick us off one by one with sniper riffles priced to sell. We are alone in ourselves the proverbial island that no man is suppose to be. Wadding at the edges separated by the mote of our subconscious mulling over the notion of infinity. It is the very real failing of words to describe adequately the needs we cannot express for we have no idea where the desire or intent comes from. We need to speak in color and thought forms but we are stuck with descriptive verbs and nouns. Why communicate the uncommunicative only to be let down with the futility of verbalize thought when we can take that plunge once more into the comforting vicissitude of lateral though that plays its owns song unto itself for all of time.

But don't lose heart friend for we are all comrades in the game of self conflagration forcing change and evolution. Primates with sticks itching to evolve into the beings of light we are inside. It is the small steps that help us move the furthest not the leaps in which we associate progress. We are not the industrial revolution because progress for progresses sake looses meaning as well as strips us of our humanity but we are the careful and cautious fledgling who spreads its wings and tests the air by just deciding to leap and to eventually soar because we have unchained the shackles of culture in order to create art from life instead of service to corporation.

Good luck in your goals. I look forward to seeing what your future holds because within you, you carry the seeds of change to live a life of worth and meaning perhaps shining with that internal life that will help guide your comrades into Valhalla to live authentically as well.
