๐Ÿ˜Œ my peers want ๐Ÿ˜Œ

the same things as i do: to stay clean and to carry the message in the most effective way possible, i forget that simple fact, time and again. no matter what i may think of someone they truly are doing their best to stay clean and carry the message. today i got carried away into my fantasy writing exercise and deferred writing this while it was fresh in my mind. i am not sure where ii meant to go this morning, but i know that right here and right now, i see a path that may or may not match what i heard this morning.
as i ran this afternoon, after work and after the time of day i usually write this exercise was that i have very strong opinions, as do most of my peers. my opinions should carry no more weight than their opinions do and yes, i want mine to be the one that rules the roost, so to speak. as i grow and grow up in the fellowship, that lesson gets driven home, time and time again. i know it by heart, and yet, there is still a part of me that resists and thinks it knows best. is it the part of me i call addiction? some echo from the trauma of my past? or just plain human stubbornness? i do not know, nor do i care, what i do care about is getting on with my day and finding the ways and means to read the news, make dinner and enjoy the evening, just for today.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

1) Therefore all in the world delight to exalt him and do not weary
of him. Because he does not strive, no one finds it possible to strive
with him.
