"Reflections"

Have you ever looked into a lake, a river, perhaps even a mere puddle and thought to yourself - "who am I?", "Where am I going?" or are you someone who thinks "Surely I don't look like that?"

No?

Maybe it's good that you don't have the time to even consider taking the time to reflect upon your own life, what you are doing and why you're doing it, where you're going and what you actually want to become, want to achieve. You could spend your whole life planning to do so many wonderful things, but by the time you've finished deciding your aims and your goals, it's too late?

Sometimes you can get so caught up in such miniscule little problems - when you realise that there are some completely narrow minded people out there who really don't know the concept of respect...

You realise that every small problem, every petty argument - it's so insignificant - so you ignore it. Ignore everything.

Becoming ignorant of reality in the hope that you can find something else, an alternative world, an ideal where there is nothing wrong, all is good - you keep on searching for that ideal, but in the wake of it all you turn into something that you don't actually want to be - you'll never find it because there is no ideal, and when you finally realise that, you only hope that you're still who you want to be, and that you haven't turned into something you once loathed. So you just get on with life and you live it, taking each day at a time, because you know that's the only way you're going to get through it all.

And one day, you'll find out that you're ok, that life is good and that because you've treated well, it's done the same back to you.

Reflecting on what you don't know will only show an empty space, because you're not there, and if you do make it there, you won't be reflecting upon it, because you'll be in someplace else, hopefully for the better.

Respect y'all.

This deserves a GAD.

Thank you for saying that, I can only hope.

The more I read, the greater wrath this confusion has on me, thus, I'll let you carry on the discussions.

I can visualise this candle lit, but not too bright room, we're all sitting cross legged, eyes closed, discussing telepathically these thoughts. I don't know why, but I can :)

Er-no is right here.

The choices we make are based upon experiences in our past.

So, In Theory, the older you get, the wiser you get.

Although, when you reach these higher levels, sometimes wrong decisions can make us more depressed as we know from past experience that we should have done the right thing.

I don't reflect i get depressed.

Choice is based on the experience you have had from the memories you keep!
You cannot disagree with my above statement, its sealed. Obviously don't take experience just in the sense of 'doing' or whatever, look beyond that. Everything.

A blink of the eye
A touch of the skin
A lifetime of memories
All kept deep within

A moment of silence
A weep from within
The moments of glory
The power of sin

A lifetime of love
A heart of tin
15 years wasted
All in the bin.
