Statement
The concept of intention and outcome: the best of intentions, no matter
how passionate or sincere, always end with the worst of outcomes.
"Outcome" increasingly becomes the focus of the human mind. Passion and
sincerity are described to be more than sufficient as currency, but their values
rapidly decline. Like spoiled goods, they are given away in return for material
things. They become the expendable elements of morality as we know it.
But what, exactly, is morality, and how, exactly, do we know it? Is it a line
drawn to separate our homes from places deemed "shameful" by forces
greater than ourselves? Is it a security system, guarding away activities that
have been deemed "unacceptable" by those who preceeded us?
The term, "as we know it," is absolutely no suggestion that we all see morality
in the same way. It says nothing about how much each of us values morality.
It says nothing about how each of us separates the moral from the immoral.
It is solely a reference to every single perception of morality that exists. All it
states is that, no matter what our outlooks on morality are, they will someday
change.
Have they yet changed?
Have our limitations on what is proper and acceptable changed?
Have we just been lazily denying our morals?
Have we been neglecting firm rule, laid down by none other than ourselves?
When did we stop keeping up?
When did we lose track?
Where is our self control?
Since when do we regret violating our own personal guidelines?
Since when does questioning our morals mean asking so much of ourselves?
One fact holds true: a question longs to remain unanswered as a statue longs
for motion. The constant questioning of ourselves leads to endless repetition.
Repitition is the basis of mastery and success. It is also the basis of complete
misery.
Consumers, be advised: use this in doses, sparingly.
It holds the power to be either your most useful tool, or a relentless burden.
It is as anxious for your triumph as it is for your failure.
A figure, a personality; always in want of an activity they are physically and
mentally unfit for. Is there room in the body for all of this act, act, act? Is there
room in the mind for all of this want, want, want? Is there proof?
Here is proof.
Question: craving endless request.
Statue: hot for motion.
Like pebbles in cement, the tiniest fragments of life surround each other.
Side by side, they shift like waves and settle like limestone.
My world fell both apart and together tonight.
That said, the two go hand in hand. Sometimes you need to disassemble
yourself in order to repair yourself. One of the most important factors in
succeding is knowing when to give up. Sometimes it only takes something
like a song to make you realize what really matters to you.
It sounds like it's difficult, but I'm starting to learn that it just might not be so bad.
Intentions are most often a sore excuse to justify laziness.
Sometimes, you need to run without any intention at all.
Then, just maybe, you can create the outcome you desire.
Perhaps there is hope for happiness after all?
