Random thoughts

For far too many life is the pursuit of acceptance. Self fulfillment and honour are lost terms. Self acceptance and self satisfaction are the only things that matter in life. That is not to say that yourself is all that matters. Self satisfaction is obtained numerous ways, and one of the most enriching ways is to devote yourself to others. An idea commonly known as karma affects all of us. Whatever you do, good or bad, you will recieve the same in return in whatever form. I am not a religious person, but rather believe in people. There is something inside a person that defines who they are. To call this something "energy" just barely touches the surface. But there is no other word in english that I can think of to describe what I am trying to express. What way you handle this energy defines a person. To look past material goods and see what is really important is all that matters. This is impossible for the majority of people. Imagine if your house and any personal belongings were destroyed by an enemy. Would you retaliate against this enemy? Why? Would revenge be the only motivator, or is there more? Would you be genuinely angry, upset, or just sad? Why would you feel anything? Now what if a loved one was killed. Would there be any more point to retaliate then there was before? Now think if your best friend had this happen to them. Would you fight for them? I am not saying what is right or wrong, because there is no such thing. I don't know what I would do in such situations. These situations would define who I am, and hence I do not know who I am yet. I would guess about 90% of you will read this passage and shrug it off and forget it in about 3 seconds. 8% of you will really think you understand and dwell on it for perhaps a minute or two. But the other 2% would read this and actually think the same way I think are the only people with whom I believe this world is theres to really explore, in both the mental and the physical. I am not trying to be all superior and pretend to know everything. That is what life is for. To try to know everything. But even if we were immortal we would not. So what is life really for? This text is not that profound or "new". I am simply trying to put my thoughts into words which is proving to be more and more difficult.
