Albert's Fortuitous Thoughts

Every act of violence is a form of child abuse.

Pain and suffering are characteristic of change or growth, thus deriving their significance from them. It is only when we lack gratitude and exhibit reluctance that they become unbearable. Only when we attribute to them a power they do not inherently possess. All is opportunity.

We'd rather be accepted for who we aren't than risk the rejection of who we genuinely are.


Communication is the art of cooperation - a labor of love. When effective, it is where one's will to be understood is matched by another's will to understand.

As individuals, you might say that we are cells within a unified self. One healthy cell contributes to a healthier whole. Each of us is a brushstroke on the canvas of Life's masterpiece. Although seemingly insignificant, we are infinitely important!
 


There is never a need to explain what's made a person who they are (meaning what they've done), unless the need has been another's or their own, in which case it is not really a need, but a self-centered desire to either know or make known. Live conscionably and unapologetically. That is my understanding. 

I can not have a world view without having experienced the world. I am a blind man in a box.

The best advice seems never my own.

'Human Being' noun - definition: A dynamo of self-rationalization. "I am a dynamo of self-rationalization."

It has been said that you can lead a person to water, but that you can not force them to drink. It has been suggested that the focus instead should be to incite their thirst. In my experience I have found it far easier to fill a glass, and to place it within reach, so that they might drink of it when they please. A treasure is only so because it has been discovered by whomsoever seeks it; not by one who has been led, forced, or manipulated in to acquiring it.

Neither action nor word speak louder than each other. Truthfully both haven't anything significant to convey.

I think too much...be too little.

What is this old that everyone is so obsessed with "getting"?

The only power that exists is that power which is yours alone to relinquish.

Nothing matters. It matters very much.

If it is not my land to do with as I please, how can it possibly belong to somebody else?

A Comedy of Condescension
One: "You think too much."
Other: "You think too little."
One: "You have too much."
Other: "You have too little."
and so forth...

Must Balance be sought-after or achieved, as most people believe, or is Life already an acknowledgment and expression of its persistence?
