Living

Living shields us from the pain of dying, but in the end, always loses.

Alone

"I am always alone, I am never alone."

So said a National Park ranger about his work in Yellowstone National Park in the winter where you can totally escape any presence of humanity except the snowmobile you need to get there, but once there you are totally surrounded by everything but anything human.

This applies anywhere and everywhere to anyone and everyone, it only takes the presence of mind to see it and sense it. You can be standing in the middle of Times Square and say the same thing about being in the presence of something completely man-made.

It's just up to you then and there.

If you try

"You can't always get what you want,
  but if you try sometimes, you just might
  find you get what you need."
                         - Mick Jagger & Keith Richards

Self and God

Believing in a God, or the God if you want, because you don't believe in yourself won't solve your problems, and will only transfer the answers from yourself to some false imaginary prophet who will only keep you from dealing with the real issue and problem, yourself.

Believe in yourself and you will be stronger than any ideas a God can provide.

Do Not Mistake

Do not mistake discussion for answers,

answers for solutions,

solutions for decisions,

and decisions for action.
