Fun Facts

Okay, this title may seem a little malicious. The main idea is the true fact that there are many out there that actually get a rise at seeing other people suffer. We walk a fine line of knowing it is not a good thing to ridicule, to being the cause of others pain. But when they cause the pain for themselves we have a tendency to find it a way to feel better about ourselves because at least we think we don’t make those kinds of mistakes. And what is even funnier, is that when we do make those kinds of mistakes we find it is entirely a different situation then the suffering fool we made ourselves feel better over. This is a case I’ve seen time and again. I knew something was wrong but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I finally realized it is a tool, a jagged tool we use to feel better about ourselves or to bond with others by pointing out others problems. We seem willing to do anything these days to feel acceptable even at the cost of someone’s suffering.

Having experienced this state myself, I found it to only go in a vicious circle. As we know, what goes around comes back around, as Justin Timberlake puts it. Some call it karma. What ever it is it always comes and bits you in the butt. Thankfully, I am a person who really wants to learn to be better. I took the time to figure this one out. It is also not so easy to break this habit. Especially when people around you want you to participate otherwise you are not in the holier then thou group, until the shoe is on the other foot, and those same people are putting you out. Have you ever thought it may be a test of courage on your behalf? If you pass you may move up a space or draw a special card?

This habit has unfortunately contributed to the loss of compassion and understanding we should have for our fellow mankind. We are eating the backs of people with this manner. Breaking down another’s spirit, so to speak and I don’t want to be in that line when that comes back around. Do you?

Yes, there are people out there that may make it easy for you to think this way. But this is a habit we have to change. Just because we take time to recognize another’s suffering doesn’t make us a fool. It makes us the wiser. It doesn’t take away from our lives. Even, just being patient on another is an act that will come back to you.

Take some time to really look over your self. I bet you will see you are not that better off. If you have the non-sense or even the time to be so careless towards another person, you must not be doing so great yourself. People of stature (e.g. as people of distinction and importance) are too busy doing things that are of importance. Now, I’m not trying to get on your back about this. I just hope we would think about what it is we are thinking when we see another person in an unfortunate predicament. Stop and take a moment and see what is going on in your head. Are you laughing and thinking what an idiot? Or, are you figuring on a way you might be able to help or at least point them in the right direction? Isn’t that how you want people to think when you are in the same position?

There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun

What do you see when you look at the sun?  Do you just see a glare in your eyes and put on some sunglasses and go about your business?  You run around all day trying to make ends meet and at the end of the day feel as if you will never make it.  You get up the next day and do it all over again.  Or, do you close your eyes and take a deep breath and allow the wholesome rays of the sun to warm your face?  And as you stand there peace of mind befalls you and the world lets you in on a secret.  You are inspired!

The great secrets of the world that have helped us advance in life have been brought through inspiration by people who were not afraid to reach beyond and pull it back into our reality.  Creating and developing their inspirations for the world to see.  Where would we be without these kinds of people?

Why is it some people are able to overlook or make simple something that is obviously so great?  Here is my theory:  I believe it has to do with the core of a person.  Interestingly enough not all people want to neither see nor bring to life something that seems so powerfully great.  It may overwhelm them and cause them fear unknown.  There are also people who suffer from soulful conditions that do not allow them to be able to share something great with others.  Since they are unable to open their minds to this greatness it is a skill that enables them to convince the weaker to stay at their level.

The reality that there are different kinds of people in this life that want different things and not all of them want to go beyond but, rather stay stationary where things feel safe and under control, but as the nature of the world shows us, everything works in cycles and is ever changing.  Things move, shift, and change without us.  We have to move with it or our made up worlds come tumbling down eventually.  This is a fact we cannot deny.
It is evident in our world today as our climate changes and our environment suffers because we want to continue living one way.

And thankfully to those who do not fear and know the answers lay in change, are the ones who look ahead and bring back the balance of our lives through inspiration.  They are not afraid to adventure and discover what lies ahead.  They are willing to make the mistakes in order to make the corrections that lead to solutions.  And what is most important is the fact they do all this without a thought or concern for themselves.  The gift of inspiration is award enough and to see others benefit from it is icing on the cake.  These people do not claim the outcome for themselves, they know the inspiration came from somewhere else but only was relayed to through them.  They are the ones that look at something that may seem simple and can see the potential of what it was meant to be for you from the world.  Something great!

What is beauty, anyway? Are we talking about superficial beauty? The things people do to stay beautiful these days are insane. On the other hand, if you are not beautiful, people don’t give you the time of day. Wait, I just thought of something. Are the people that spend all their time and money on beauty, the same people that won’t give you the time of day? There we have it. We should just let the superficial people alone in their little bubbles. And the people who can’t get the time of day should buy a watch.

Let’s face it people. We have lost the true sense of beauty. The key word here is sense. Beauty is something we sense. We sense beauty through an object that gives us a heightened sense of awareness, that something great is in our presence. For example, take a rose. Most people think the red rose is beautiful. The deep red peddles, long stems, delicate leaves, and the contrasting thorns. But, what made us decide it is beautiful? It is merely the sense that the rose is something amazing. Aw! It’s beautiful.

So, now we know why everyone wants to be beautiful. People who are not so amazing want to look amazing. Funny thing though, in the end people usually figure out you’re not so amazing. Ugly people have the same problem. You know who you are. I know everyone keeps telling you it’s the inner beauty that counts. But that doesn’t make you amazing. It is not in beauty that we’ll find what makes us amazing. Yes, now I am going to tell you that we all have something amazing about us.

First, I want to tell you the nature of naturally beautiful people. Beauty is a gift to those who have a purpose. They have the natural ability to attract peoples’ attention, which should be used to benefit others. People look to them for leadership. Unfortunately, this is mistaken for self purpose and creates a monster. Few understand and are able to fight off those demons and are able to fulfill their true purpose. It is even more unfortunate for those who try to imitate a beautiful person. They are really lost.

Let’s get back to us all having something amazing to give. The amazing things that will have people take notice, and maybe even give you the time. Despite our outer appearance, as long as you keep it clean, we all have a purpose in life. Instead of trying to draw attention by the outer appearance that is unnatural to you, you will naturally draw attention when you are doing what you do best.

True beauty is not in someone beautiful, or hiding behind someone ugly. It is a person who respects themselves enough to know that they have something amazing to give to this world. It won’t matter what you look like on the outside. I mean you don’t have to be a super model. You do want to take good care of yourself, though. Good care for one’s self reflects self-respect, which is beautiful in itself.

Do not over do the beauty. And don’t use ugliness as an excuse. We all have something to give. Find out what it is for you and get to it. What is meant for you in this life will fall into place. It could be better than you expected.
