Random Thoughts

Chapter I:

What is a secret? But merely a truth, hidden away in the recesses of the mind. In attempts to protect the intrests of the bearer of said secret. However, what one should find intresting is not the secret itself, but rather the motive behind the hiding of said truth.

What is a man? But merely a walking reflection of a set of beliefs. If a male, believes he is a man, he walks with his head held high. However, if he feels himself to be in question, then he walks head down. So if that is the case, then manhood is not a macho facade put on display in hopes to gain the attention of the opposite sex. But merely the recognition of a level of mental maturity.

Art evokes emotion. Emotion evokes change. And change brings about a new world. For better or for worse.

What is a terrorist? It has been said that one man's terrorist, is another man's freedom fighter. So if that is the case, does the perception of a terrorist depend on which side of the terror you are on? Or are terrorists merely men? But instead of being a walking reflection of a set of beliefs, they are rather a reflection of someone else's beliefs. And these beliefs were either embedded into the minds of men from childhood. Or rather worn as a shield, for comfort?  To keep out a cold, unforgiving world, that has the capacity to make us all feel lost? These people are desperate. Desperate to feel a part of something greater than civilized human life. And when you are desperate to believe in something, when you find that something you cling to it for dear life. And that is when you become dangerous.

Why is it that women often point out positive qualities in a man that they look for? Qualities that they desire in a lover.
Ones that they often say that I possess. Yet I still remain alone. Yet, I still remain undesired. Remain unfulfilled.
Why is it, that some women have the subconscious need, to be rejected, in order to feel desired at the same time?
Why is it, that some women need to be complimented, but don't want to be complimented too frequently, or insincerely?
Why is it, that when a man shows too much interest in a woman, she pays him no attention at all. But when the tables then turn, the man becomes the villain?

Why are emotional games played? To feel a level of empowerment? The unquenchable need for control? Is it done out of sheer boredom? Or is it because we all have sado-masochistic tendencies?

Why are thoughts often thought and never expressed?

Why do we all have a tendency to project our faults on to other people, for no other reason than to just dislike them?

When children die, is that a part of God's plan? Is it supposed to make us better people? Or does He recruit true angels at the age when they deserve their wings?

Is wanting someone to love me for who I am selfish? Or must I love myself first, and then project that outward, to show people that I am in turn capable of being loved? Or is that too much to ask?

Why is it, that when my thoughts are at their most random, they seem to be the most thought-provoking?

  1. My opinions....

    A secret - something that you share with someone special that you dont want to share with anyone else. Something you dont want anyone else to know because of one of many reasons. Fear, regret, pride....

    A man - someone who can stand on his own two feet and has learned from his mistakes in life. A provider, a protector,a friend, a lover and one day a father.

    Terrorist - can't answer this... sorry. Have a big issue the crazy ass terrorist accross the water with thier very sexist and terrible beliefs... But if I must, I would say it is a person who reaks havock on people to prove apoint. A person who thinks that violence is the only way to make people agree with them.

    Women - I agree with you. I get the same compliments but I am still single. In a different way. I am NOT alone. I am single. Therefore I am worthy of spending time and doing "relationship" things but not worthy of the title of Girlfriend or oneday Wife. And I agree with the fact that some women don't like being complimented ALL the time. Sometimes she wants to be taken of of her "pedestal" and owned. Me personally, I love the compliments but still need to know that he is the dominant one.

    Emotional Games - easy answer! Monogamy and love are not important anymore... Period. People in our generation do not value marriage ir fidelity.

    Thoughts not expressed - Somethings are better left unside. Beliefs can be valued in your heart and soul with being pushed in someone else's face.... Freaking Jahova's Wittnesses lol... UNSAID

    WHEN KIDS DIE - NO NO NO IT IS NOT ANYTHING LIKE YOU SAID. MAYBE HE IS SAVING THEM FROM A LIFE OF PAIN. MAYBE THAT CHILD'S SWEET LITTLE SOUL ISNT READY FOR THE WORLD SO HE CALLS THEM BACK HOME TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME.

    Selfish Love - No. Everyone wants to be loved. I know I do. but it's hard to trust someone when you dont have love for yourself. You will always dought that person's love for you... THIS HAS BEEN PROVED BY YOU!

    Provoking 0 for you or others? for you I have no clue... For others, it's simple. You asked in questons form. People dont always comment when you just come out and say what something is. But when you ask a question it's natural for people to answer because they feel that they know something you don't. Almost as if at that very small moment, you needed them. Wether is be help, advise or whatever. When a person is asked a question, especially a deep one that requires thought, they feel important.

    There is my 2 cents!

    1. See, my treasure. This is why I love getting your opinion on things. It's easy for me to get wrapped up in my own thoughts. But reading this, was like getting a peek into your mind. And I must admit, I liked it, lol. And while this was an older piece that I wrote, I still think about these things often. So it was refreshing to get your take on them. And yes, you're right about me proving that a lack of love for self would result in doubting other people. Unfortunately, I'm kind of the poster boy for that, lol. But I'm really working on it. And just know that your 2 cents are always a welcome form of change here.
