Loving geometry I often think of shapes that my thought-paths would fit into – with respect to the cone a spiral could begin on the bottom edge and move its way around, culminating at the pinnacle.
If I would have to categorize my work into a form it would be this one.
At a young age I realized that peace of mind is what I sought, loving inspirational material like the question of what do you be when you grow up and intuitively feeling that I want to be happy but answering the obvious question with the preferred job title.
I began thinking of all the conundrums that life threw at us and over time I grew into a sponge that would syphon up every shred of optimistic philosophy it could find.
To me the world was riddled with disappointment, doubtful people and depressing topics – I had to find ways around these obstacles and the only way was to go through it with all the help I could give myself.
The problem comes in when things need to be realistic. Now feasible and realistic, sadly, are two different things – so I went through a period of having answers to questions but not being capable of materializing them. There were many pitfalls, yet I did not get discouraged.
Nowadays I know that everything can be solved with a good and stable philosophical argument that is humble as well as realistic – yielding when that is the best way and not getting into unnecessary quarrel.
As simplicity started taking over the summaries of experience and the continual revaluation thereof was providing fruit of thought. The conclusions I drew from pondering on so many subjects later became the basis for future puzzles and so I built a pyramid within me that for a while now has been projecting its beam into infinity.
I feel as though I have reached a milestone in my self awareness and can start branching out. Charity starts at home and now it can move beyond.
Getting back to structure – I want to mention that you have to be on your own team if you want to succeed. Breaking yourself down is worthless – don’t take that stuff seriously.
Another thing that helped me along the way was humour – being able to laugh at or about myself has made things so much easier and eventhough I might have turned out a bit quirkier than the average person – at least I do not suffer from any terminal thought-impediments. Learning to avoid fatal perceptions was something I had to do from the very start and somewhere in the middle I became good at turning them around for myself and on occasion even voicing my opinion or laughing it off.
Some views are just preposterous – its difficult to understand how they have survived. Yet lack of proper mind-care can do that to a person. The good thing is that life will always remain your teacher and as long as you keep in the right attitude you will finally arrive in Rome. All roads lead there you know?
The last thing that I wish to make a point of is to surround yourself with people that stimulate your growth – few things have given me more drive than wanting to get along with a family member or friend. The only way to do so was to change myself in such a way that my horizons would be broadened to the point of understanding their view point and getting into a state of peace with it. Trial and error is the way and practice makes perfect. So keep at it if your not running into too-thick walls!
