Smack Down? id rather just shrug.

Our strengths arise from someone else’s weakness. Believing we are better than some and we can outdo the others is what keeps us going. Is it because we are weak as individuals that we work as a human network bound by emotions and relationships? We see the light in situations and miss out on the shadows. It’s in the shadows that our weakness lies, where the inner child of our being is rooted; the one that craves attention, requires pampering and the constant affirmation from the everyday people in our lives that keep us sane and strong and most importantly secure. We have this self to recover from that place…the path we refuse to tread scared like a child in the darkness of the night.
Strength is a fleeting phase, this illusion we sometimes encounter or sometimes make synchronous with god. We cannot handle the weight of situations on our own.
Under the pressure of trying to be strong.. Ayn Rand makes me feel comfortable,,

"If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater his effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders - What would you tell him?"

"I…don't know. What…could he do? What would you tell him?"

"To shrug."

Shrug. When in doubt when the world gets too heavy and the human connection gets weak or lets you down. Don’t run. Shrug.

The art of clichéd troubles and vipasana

"Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!"
— William Shakespeare (Macbeth)
Troubles are a part of everyone’s life but the trouble with trouble is I don’t go looking for it, it always comes and finds me..be it in school or at home or in some random place. Trouble doesn’t have a compass which points east or west…it just points in every direction where I’m headed. I wish I could make all my troubles stand in a queue in an orderly fashion in ascending order of priority of which one is the bigger pain in the ass and give each one of them a black eye. I could do with extremity of emotions because I know they are all just a passing phase, but trouble on the other hand doesn’t seem to pass. Its like playing super Mario the more you level up the more troubles u have. This relationship I have with it isn’t even reciprocal, it’s not like I learn from the past and avoid the future trouble..nah doesn’t work that way instead I just keep walking into or getting myself into new kind of trouble every step along the way. The bright side is that I know I’m not alone I have peers who seem to get into the similar situation maybe the degree seems lesser when the situation is viewed from my end…BUT the comfort in another person’s discomfort is a sadistically pleasurable thing, in times of trouble surpasses the joy I get out of eating chocolate. For all those who say “it’s a part of life this will strengthen u and u will outlive it and blah blah blah…” I know that. Save your energies. I think more trouble is caused by introspection so I will stop…take Rhonda bryne’s advice and think positively, because everything I get I harness into my life…so like a moral science lesson I guess everything I need to know I already know. So does everyone. When in trouble. Duck. Scream or sleep. Period. Or even better write and chew on someone’s brains and provide fodder for introspection.;)
