So there's a reason why I have this title. Because they are triggering, and words about conflict and fighting, such as "Vs." draws people's attention. Also in combination with Valentine's Day, which invokes usually positive feelings, its the perfect combination of positivity and negativity. So my title's wording is to bring in readers. At the same time however, it describes exactly what I will talking about today. So today is Valentine's Day, and what does this mean for me? In the past it meant, someone else. In the present, it means me. Do you see why now I wrote this title? There is a difference between the past and the present me. And there is a difference between me and another. Intimacy with me is quite an interesting thing. Its truly everlasting, not so much so for the typical relationship. What is the ideal relationship? You meet someone by fate occurrence, they are your perfect match, you fall in love, get married, have kids, grow old toget...

Max opened his eyes. He looked around and he saw he was in a deep valley. There were boulders around, and people carrying boulders up the sides of the valley. Max spoke to one of the people nearby. She explained that these boulders are your potential lives. You can pick and choose a boulder to take up out of the valley to live your life. Max walked around looking at the boulders. They were of varying sizes. He thought to himself that it must be easier to get out of the valley with the smaller boulder. He went out to see the other people. Throughout the day he watched and conversed with the people. He learned that even with the smallest boulders few ever get out or leave the valley. And something else he noticed. Everyone chose the smallest boulders. He asked them, why do you chose the smallest boulders. They said in response, “you know why, just ask your mind.” And they were right because he previously thought that it was easier to carry one of the smaller boulders. Yet desp...

In town, in a school, there was an art class. A girl in the class made an art piece. People in her life didn't like the art piece. The girl liked her art, so to her, that's all that mattered. She didn't cry or worry that people in her life didn't like her art piece. She didn't feel badly about herself that her art piece wasn't liked by others. She didn't think about whether the next art would be liked by others. She simply made her art, and she liked it. Why is she like this? She knows it is a waste of time to feel bad about what others think or say about her art. Her art is her creation so its her responsibility. Why would she feel bad about herself think that she is less, or her art is less? Art is art. And she is herself. She is not someone else's thought. And her thoughts are her own, and why would she accept any thought that her art pieces is horrible, when she likes it? There doesn't appear to be a good reason. In art class she is graded. S...

Charlie the TV Box: Assigning Purpose In a house, in a town, somewhere was Charlie. He sat all day on a table, and faced the couch. He had a nice big screen, not too big like one of those more expensive models. But big enough, and big enough for what? Well, Charlie was a TV box. He sat all day and all night, and would play programming. That is what he did. Depending on the day of the week and who was home, he would play certain programs. Maybe movies, or a culinary show. There was also Saturday morning cartoons. So this was his life, day in and day out. On and off. Not much to say about this life, huh? This is all he did and lived for. But was this really living? Could Charlie say he was alive? Charlie could say he had a name, he had a job, he provided a service, he had awareness, but does all of that mean he was living? I asked Charlie the above question, and do you know what he said? No, it wasn’t. Because he knew living is not what he did, despite that he h...

There are a people known as Quanari that are marked by a distinct feature. They are completely covered by grass. Grass roots burrow deep inside their bodies, bodies just like a humans. But a new born Quanari child has no grass leaves or roots. You see, there grass leaves are given, grown and spread amongst each other as they grow, and it takes years for the grass to take root.

You see, the Quanari would value certain grasses, and it was a point of pride, yet in reality the Quanari were n...

The Magical Box Have you ever heard the story about magical the box? It goes like this...  On a pyramid somewhere, on the very top, lies a magical box. To open this box you need to first climb the pyramid, and you need a special key. What is the key that you need? Energy. So while you climb the pyramid you must gather energy from the lower levels. In each level of the pyramid you will find access to specific energies that will give you access to the next level of the pyramid. It is essential that any who wishes to open the box to gather the energy. The energy is the key to opening the box. And the more energy you bring the longer you can stay in the box. While in the box all its dark and quiet, it feels like heaven/enlightenment, you become like light. It is a box after all so it is pitch black. But you can only stay in there as long as you have energy. Once the energy runs out, you must leave the box, and climb down the pyramid to again gather more energy. This is the only w...

Quest-ion: what is a connection with another person? So this is a question I have. So in scanning my memories, of all relationships with any human beings... in general I perceived my relationships as one sided, meaning that how I felt did not have any necessary connection or influence on how another person felt. This statement of observation was shown to me many times, wherein I would feel good around certain people and connected with them, yet the relationship would end or drift apart. This tells me one thing, that people couldn't perceive how I felt, nor who I am, such as what I think. And to be able to perceive that, would require that it be spoken/expressed. I notice that I didn't often expressed what I perceived or felt. And when I did on a rare occasion, people would be shocked/startle to see this side of me, or perhaps should I say me.  So I noticing something quite funny right now. Look at this: I was known as quiet, and a select people enjoyed this, and s...
