Your Mind, Your Life, Your Existence

When I think about my mind, life and existence, I think I am blessed, and I am closed-minded to anything other than that reality. Envy is the bane of existence anyhow when really thought about deeply. When the grass seems greener on the other side, something is rotten on both sides if you know what I mean.

For the ultimate value of a mind, a life and existence can be defined by how genuinely contained within themselves people really are without envious thoughts, without fearful oppression of conscience and without existing jealous of other people or situations.

When I was young, I used to wonder why other people were more successful than others. I have my answer in reality and that answer is: Tend the grass on your own side without regarding the grass of others as competition and you will be fine, as long as you keep your grass "kept up well."

For the ultimate value of an existence is understanding how to be, do and have for yourself without comparing yourself to the other person in an envious way.

So, view your circumstances as good, however they may seem to be and wherever you are with them, proceed with courageous thinking and know that your work stands well on its own. The best quality lives are judged on their own standards by the person living it. If you have to compare to others in a genuine way, check your premises to use the words of Ayn Rand in a fully cognitive and rational way.

Real growth comes down to esteeming yourself well anyhow. Without that, you genuinely go nowhere except into envy and "keeping up". After all, why do you think "living like a reality show" is so popular for so many? "Keeping up appearances" is the weakest thing you can do. Being within yourself and fully understanding is the strongest thing you can do. This is not my opinion, but this is reality. Is there a self in the appearance without substance? There is not. But if you can have substance without the "appearance", that is better from a realistic standpoint because you (or anyone) are what they are "trying to be" in reality.

So, being blessed in that closed-minded way with control within yourself is the better way to be than appearing healthy and "great" in the eyes of others. Reality is what counts, not the hype of "the show everyone should envy."

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
