In denying causes of doubt, do we inherently create a false faith?
Much like an intrinsic sense of darkness can only serve the significance of light, is a degree of negativity an essential component of development and enlightenment?
Does a single candle struck in the overwhelming sense of midnight gloom exemplify light much more than one hundred held high to an overpowering midday sun?
Or, much like my somewhat flawed and cliched symbolism, is such a sense of illuminative perspective placebo like? A safety stencil and a mere coping mechanism? A form of comfort template designed in some way to rationalise or place proportion on the utter chaos of everywhere and everything?In short.. I dunno.
But I can’t begin to imagine an alternative.
Fear being the arbitrator.You have a lovely way with words pepper…. you should write a book
“Does a single candle struck in the overwhelming sense of midnight gloom exemplify light much more than one hundred held high to an overpowering midday sun?” ……. sigh
Lovely :D :D :D
ooooooooooo spooky! I just opened a book I am reading that has a famous phrase/saying at the beginning of each chapter – this one is……
……….”Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise” – Sigmund Freud
Reckon he’s right! :lol:
Some people seem to stay on a constant level,they never seem to have highs and lows. Maybe we just dont see them, but i find it difficult to link in with these people.
I have my highs and lows and hate the lows but i wouldnt change it because its part of who i am.
I also find its the little things in life that annoy me. I dont worry too much about money or the lack of it but gawd if i hit my head one more time on a shelf, ceiling or light im gonna kill it :lol:
I put two fingers up to a shelf awhile ago when i lent down to pick something up and a loose strip of veneer off the shelf went in my ear, bloody hurt i can tell you :roll:
I think that before we look at how to achieve happiness we need to understand what happiness is in the first place…if you don’t know what it is, how do you know when you’ve achieved it?
People often confuse euphoria with happiness. There also seems to be an expectation that happiness is a constant state…it’s not, it’s a fleeting moment, and if you’re lucky you have lots of those fleeting moments so that the other moments seem less significant.
As for how you approach life…my approach is to plan for the worst and hope for the best. If I can look at a situation and think “OK what’s the worst thing that can possibly happen here? And if it happened, how would I deal with it?” then once I know how I’d cope the worst loses its capacity to induce fear, it loses its power, then I can happily focus on the best outcome…and anyone who knows about the Law of Attraction knows that what you focus on is what you get, so be careful what you focus on! :D
The worst is never as bad as it seems Jen. As for the law of attraction, well its a minefield in here
:wink:
“If you haven’t hit a low, you won’t appreciate the highs’ “- anc!
A glass half empty – get the bottle of red and fill it back up – same as life really, don’t let things get too far down before making it better

Reckon when I can lift the box of rosé up easily – time for the shops, shortly followed by a nice high when I get home! :lol:
