[Warning, Life Isn't for Sensitive People]

  1. One day I was wandering across the Slaughters railroad tracks that ran parallel past the old Sebree station and I saw a head, come uncoupled from it's neck. My Mom gave me special medicine and I was told to forget it.

    "Only focus on happy thoughts. They're the only thing worth focusing on. The happy things are the only things that shape us. Besides, if we stop talking about horrible things, if we bury them deep in society, block them out of thought. Outlaw them out of discussion, repress all incidents of pain and misery, terror and horror... If we shield ourselves from all things that might offend, upset, trigger or horrify, then they will all go away."

    I thought about this. And I realized she was right. We deny power to those nightmarish unpleasant feelings if we simply deny their existence. If we keep doing this...they will disappear forever and no one will ever talk about them again.

    Like in all things, balance and moderation might be a good guideline. One should focus on what makes life good, when one can. And when you have to face evil to survive, your focus should be on evil. Just be careful that you do not become so yourself.

    I disagree that ignoring evil will make it disappear. Evil will always exist in some form until the end of all life. You can be aware of its existence and still choose happiness and love. I would even argue that happiness and love can be amplified when you know of the alternative. After great turbulence you will truly appreciate stability.

    You seem to be in favour of outlawing it from discussion, yet you have made a blog article discussing it.

More often than not people use blogs to vent against things they disagree or are frustrated with and some do so in very oblique ways.

    So it is a sort of art piece? Contradictory? Just venting. I think I may understand it now... I'm so dense, sorry.

    Hey, no worries. lol. It's an honest mistake and I was being particularly sideways about it. I can get pretty eccentric when it comes to blogging. If anything, it's always nice to know someone read it and thought about it. And your reply had some very valid points. ^^
