Observations on Life ... Do You Have Any ?

You are invisible when you get old.

I was trying to cross the road earlier, close to a rather busy roundabout. I stood quietly on the pavement waiting for either a gap in the traffic or some kind person to let me cross.

I must have waited several minutes without any success until a young lady appeared on the other side of the road, short skirt, tight blouse.

Talk about a miracle, it was just like The Red Sea parting to let the Israelites cross to the promised land!

I wouldn't say I have lost my mind, it's just that my last two brain cells are currently throwing rocks at each other. I'm sure once the dispute is settled, a peace accord will be agreed on, and hopefully a little teamwork will become the new norm.

I more often threw proverbial rocks at myself, arguing with myself ad nauseum as a teen and 20s. By 30s Brain and 'heart' (because it was really the issue of knowing intellectually does not always bring emotional acceptance or understanding of a concept or an event in our lives) could co-operate better with each other.

Agreed. Feelings don't always line up with head knowledge. It isn't the data: It's how we interpret the data, and often that can be so biased.

I believe that you get out of life what you put into it, and that applies to marriage, children, work, friendships, your body, dinner, and practically everything else. If you want to have a quality life, don't cram it full of nonsense. Put time, effort, and thought into what you're doing and learn to disregard the temptation that you are missing out on something else. It's just a restless spirit that results from having too many choices which are the thief of happiness.

"It's just a restless spirit that results from having too many choices which are the thief of happiness."

You hit the nail on the head! Go to a Home Depot or whatever and you want to buy brown paint. The dealer shows you a sheet of 30 shades of brown. How is this "living the high life?" We have just become brainless and hypnotic consumers and going through life like the clogs on a wheel.

Furthermore, folks don't want to put any effort into life. They don't want to exercise and they don't want to eat healthy food. They just sit in front of the computer or TV and they often eat junk food in restaurants. Then they run to their doctor and demand the "magic pill" that is suppose to make them young, strong, smart and full of energy. Dream on, Little Dreamer, Dream On!
 
Here are my thoughts on this topic (sort of became a poem):

Life is an illusion,
A story that you live through,
one chapter at a time.
You have the power to write your story.
You have the power to
Live your life fully
Live your life well

Let Love guide you -
Find the goodness in others
Find the beauty in Life
Make forgiveness your friend
Search for peace within
Share your Love.

It's ok to dream big.

Death is an illusion,
A plane that separates us
If we let it.
