What Is
I'll be smiling, not because I have more reasons to smile than reasons not to smile....but because I want to be smiling. I want life to be good. I want to enjoy living. So I'll be smiling always.
I've been waking up early every day. I wonder why? I don't want to wake up, but I do.
I guess it's something I have to do. It does give some time for me to sit and think, though, be that for the better or worse.
I have found, of late, a question of difference between What I Am and Who I am. Who I am depends on who I am with, and what I am doing. What I am is someone with insight into people, and an empathy to fully understand their position with great ease. Who I am is someone who is interested in understanding people who would call themselves my friend. What I am is a subtle manipulator of sorts....I try to act in such a way as to teach a lesson to those I am with, to help them improve themselves.
By what right do I do this? Is my judgment of improvement something they would want of themselves?
How easy it is to fall, to let yourself sink into an easy path. I've learned from my past mistakes, and I am actively changing myself because of it. My way of seeing the world forces me to know the hypocrisy I've been living, but it is up to me to change. Does my world view of self-other effect enable me to change others?
