"When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky" - Siddhartha Gautama

A few helpful things to remember about me

This is one of those random posts. I am in a random mood.

  • I am infinitely more fragile than anyone realizes, including myself.
  • I am insecure.
    • Dogma disguises doubt.
    • Questions disguise ignorance.
    • Laughter disguises fear.
    • Anger disguises weeping.
  • I’ve lived a double life so long that nobody knows who the real me is including myself.
  • Systems, public opinion, and the fear of rejection drives nearly all my actions.
  • I almost deleted this post.

  1. um, interesting post. i think the majority of humanity falls into that category.

  2. I think it’s only normal to feel this way. I think it’s actually good that you’re open to admitting your negative attitudes. :)

  3. The whole world would be better off if we’d all be as honest as this.
    Honesty is the first step of freedom.

  4. yes, all (nearly, i think) my ambition, motivation, action, or whatever are polluted. Fear drives us (this is not absolute).

  5. I’m crying. In the last half hour, I’ve been undone by Brennan Manning, Jesus Christ, and your post.

  6. “Systems, public opinion, and the fear of rejection drives nearly all my actions” including this post?

  7. I have to agree with the first comment. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you’d be surprised at how many people are just like you.

  8. From how I see it, you’re as normal as could be,, No worries.. :)
