This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for May 10, 2009:
No more! Being manipulated and conforming is to surrender of oneself and essentially become obsequious, while pretending to be in the drivers seat(duplictious). There is no freedom in 'being' if I must dance and be a spectacle in order to gain some sort of acceptance. A need to be accepted is a signal to me that something is missing , when that occurs, I no longer feel whole and complete.Feeling whole and complete is the antithesis of want and need. I have discovered that Joy, sangfroid, elyisium, quiescence,love , compassion and self esteem all dwell within. My sole task in life is to bring them to fruition, rather than waiting for the "right" circumstances in life to magically appear if I perform properly and get a standing ovation.
I love the end of the poem "A Face in the Glass"; "But you final reward will be heartache and tears, if you've cheated the man in the glass".

All that stuff within, all that stuff you're thinking about……how are you “bringing it to fruition”? Like what are you actually Doing with all these concepts. There are few standing ovations in life. You do it anyway. Part of life is heartache and tears. You learn that and move on. First you gotta move/take positive action. Wishing you the best ((hugs)) -free!
Mimi's comment brings up questions I have had for a long time –
Are some heartache and tears the necessary counterpoint to joy and laughter? And, if that is true, I sincerely wonder, “If heartache and tears did not exist, would they have to be invented?” Surely, some philospher has explored this!
In response to Mimi's “all that stuff within”. Humans like the sun's stuff within(the reactions within generate the light that we take for granted) do the same, the outer is the inner and that is why cosmetics and 'looking good is so important to most. Self responsiblity has been replaced by a vessel that its sole purpose is to to be filled with stuff, but bereft of making a difference in the quality of life.
