One thing I have learned from my virtual escapades is that there is amazing POWER in envy and all negative unfocused energy...when focused on the wrong thing, it can cause a catastrophe. It enables the posesser of envy such motivation that it can turn a normal person into someone of cunning evil, which then amplifies their need to further express itself until there is great harm done. I've learned that there is extreme vulnerability in unwanted fame. Without careful scrutiny, you won't know your enemies from your friends and your friends from total strangers. I've experienced this in a virtual atmosphere. You can just imagine how the REAL WORLD works. I am wary of the world. There is only one thing that is true...in God, we can trust. My reality is not your reality...and yours is not someone else's. In fact, it is because of this very essence of quality of life...that makes everyone different and unique. And that is also why there is so much miscommunication, misunderstanding and so much HATRED as much as there is LOVE and admiration and all that is good. People of like minds tend to gravitate toward one another and lend a helping hand...whether it is to heal or to harm. As everyone had witnessed at some point...the power to bully was like an aprhidisiac...so many people fell into it's trance without even knowing it's original purpose. And sometimes ONE person's personal vendetta...can spread like wildfire onto other's misguided views. Everyone is motivated by a different purpose...whether it is to SHARE in the spotlight...to appear sympathetic to one side or the other....or simply to participate in whatever they don't understand but is going on within a crowd. There will always be willing crowd pleasers...willing to do anything for attention.., ignorant bystanders, opinionated fools and then everyone else and everything else in between to further complicate the mess.... All the world is a stage and we are but actors upon that stage as Shakespeare has most famously stated. We all know this...and we all participate...whether we are a supporting actor/actress in someone else's story...or the main character in our very own. People forget a lot...the here and now can be nothing but a memory tomorrow. Ingratitude is rampant, staining all who might have otherwise wanted to help and was able to but didn't. And all who missed the boat...well they would never understand how it really felt being on the ride. They could only imagine. I live my life with God at the helm. And I neither want fame nor notice...but I share my views only for the sake of speaking it my thoughts out loud. It was never intended for any specific audience. It's kind of like when a writer writes a book...the writer thinks NOT of who will be reading such book...but only of the intricacies of their story and the characters involved. There is MEANING to it. That is why it is such an interesting book worthy of someone's hard earned money when published. Well, I believe that knowledge should be free. Our forefathers believed it, that is why they started a library...instead of investing in a Giant bookstore. To influence the writer...is as simple as well...killing the story.
