Between Here and There


          Life like all things is simple yet complex, Lovely yet ugly, Fun yet dull, worth living yet not. This is the sad reality that escapes us in our dreams. In our dreams everything is clear; no matter how complex the dream you still enjoy it. A hundred million ideas all come together all to insight a simple emotion, Happiness. Yet in reality it’s not so simple. Happiness is relative, but everyone wants to tell you how to be happy.


     In life we live between two opposites; Reality and Dreams. Both are equally as important. life without reality will get you nowhere, on the other hand, Reality without the dare to dream is mute and dull. I believe they are like colors; Black and White can create an amazing image, however, without color it will never be alive. At the same time without Darkness and light (Black and White) we would never be able to see these colors. This is the relationship between dreams and reality. 


     In life we all want simple things. The same things - in essence -.However, our means to achieve these simple things come at a great cost. To think! Thinking is our mortal coil. The more you think the more you see and in return the more "realistic" you become. This is one side of the equation. The flip side is to achieve these simple things with another sort of great cost, To NOT think. Relax! Take it easy! It’s all good! You can’t change it, so don’t bother. Both these theories are utter nonsense.


     Extreme is the enemy of progress. Both examples above are too extreme. Life has taught me this the hard way. Now, before I give my own theory about "How to save a life" I would like to state that this is MY way of seeing things (my perspective). By this I mean that you should never do as I did. Contemplate, get advice, and listen to your heart and the hearts of those you trust, and then and only then make a decision. If it happens to be the same as mine then so be it. But, never allow someone else to think for you. I digress...


     I believe that for each situation in life you must do the math. Every time you buy something you do math; you calculate how much you have, how much the item costs, and if you can afford it. Then you calculate the change due to you if you didn't have the exact amount. All this is done sometimes without you even knowing. The same should be applied in life; however, you must be aware! Because unlike money that comes and goes this is a decision that can never be undone. I’ll explain.


     Dreams are useful to escape reality when faced with adversity. Reality is best used when facing adversity of another sort. In dreams the adversity may be something totally out of your control; that is when you must dream to survive, so that you may strike when it comes into your control. Reality is your first line of defense start off with it. Fight as hard as you can and then some! Push until you almost break then and only then go to dreams. 


     Remember that the world is not 2D it’s not even 3D its actually 4D; The fourth dimension being time and space. So always look at things from all angles, you will be surprised how easily you will find reasons hidden just a side step away. Thinking is a double edged swords use it wisely. Random example incoming be aware. Thinking is like chewing gum! Too little isn’t enough, too much hurts, and just enough is perfect.

If you don’t stand for something then you are falling for everything!
