Author of Perception.

Everybody wants to be the author of perception.

The way you see life, the way it should be done, the rules to be kept, and those to be broken and those that can only be bent.

With enough courage, hope and sometimes naivity, some will give it a try.

But as every journey that starts out in the dark towards the light, it soon becomes revealed that in fact, somebody else has already done the writing.

That’s when others admit that this is God’s world and his way is to go.

Then others see also that the Albert Einsteins, Platos, Hitlers and Musks have done it before.

And that’s when it becomes important for one to educate himself if he’s going to at least learn how to thread on the foundations that have already been laid.

And that’s why when I write:

– I’m writing the raw me;

-Hoping that this is the real me;

-And praying that time waits for the finished me.

I’m writing my excuses. “I haven’t done this much yet because I think this bit here is important to grasp first.”

I’m writing my motivations. “My efforts will show, my patience will grow, I’ve planted the seeds and laid my bed, and I’ve bought the stove that will bake our bread.”

I’m writing my fears. “I’m afraid that I gave myself the medal before I ran the race and now I might never win because I started my celebrations before I encountered my opposition.”

I’m writing my resume:

Sending it out where I wish I could be – leaving it where I might have to settle for compromise – tearing it up at the first sign of rejection – gluing it together again when I rediscover my passion.

Man I wish I could come up with something that will be worth:

Reading

Pleading

Leading

And when it cuts and hurts, something that was worth the bleeding.

Not for want of wanting.

Feeling good about yourself is Great.

Wanting to feel good about yourself is not.

Because it’s in the wanting that you find that something is missing, the abyss and the lack of the goodness.

So are we going to live in want, or need?

Oh, that’s when we become the needy – needing handouts, approval, opportunities and our dreams to come alive.

But if feeling good is really what we’re willing to be, then we’re going to have to make these things happen.

It’s when we’re going to have to push at the obstacle to get the stone rolling, and it’s the rolling stone that gathers no moss.

It’s the sacrifice of the little things that don’t really matter for the sake of the grand achievements that give us purpose.

It’s the fight against the me of yesterday, today, for tomorrow.

Okay, enough talk, let’s get to it then.

Long before Man…

Did you know?

That, long before Man was, there lived and still lives – an abundant and intelligent being like no other ever since.

We say ever since, because there is no knowing what other kind of magnificent beings might have existed before our subject matter.

But there lived a population of the being that is now known most commonly as “Alien.”

Either way, the aliens, you see…

They lived in a world that was a lot like ours. They were just as intelligent as we are, and I say that in our favor and in risk of leaving them offended.

They developed new technologies. They build cities, created lifestyles and developed economies that would keep them entertained and “playing” together fairly in their adult years, as they had once done as children.

They created competition to find out who was better than whom, who had more or less, and who had the most luck or the flavour of the gods on his side.

They followed and led each other. They ran from danger and chased down their victims. They lived life to its fullest.

In time, they became faced with the same problems that we humans now find ourselves faced with –

-Pollution.

-Over-crowdedness

-Food shortages

-etc.

They struggled with this for a very long time.

They explored the oceans. They explored the skies.

They watered the deserts and planted their seas.

They did almost everything possible to change their environment in order for it to better suit them and continue to accommodate all of them and their growing quantities.

And at the same time, they were faced with wars, all kinds of them:

-those that they started

-those started against them

-And those that they started amongst each other.

One day, to cut the story short, someone came up with a solution that could fix all of their problems.

There were too many of them for their worlds to hold them,

there were too many of them abusing their worlds’ resources, and

They were so big that they were easily spotted by any or all of their potential enemies.

So, they decided to shrink themselves to microscopic sizes in order for them to require much less from their environment, much less room needed to separate them from each other, and they were now too small for their enemies to find them.

Morden day Earthlings are such enemies.

And that is why we have not been able to find signs of any other forms of life out there in space blah blah blah.
