We all know the story of Pandora’s Box. Pandora was given a box that she was told not to open, or it would bring about destruction on the world. She held onto the box and couldn’t help but open it. Sure enough once opened the box could not be closed. They say that’s when pain and suffering entered the world. What could she do about it? It was too late, the box had been opened. She couldn’t go back and say “oops” and close the thing, it was too far gone for that to happen. Makes me wonder at times what kinds of boxes I have that I’ve yet to open. Will they bring about good fortune? Will they bring about bad things? Will I be able to close them once I open them? There is no way to tell what will happen if/when this curse will come upon me. Life is like that, it can be destructive at times. It can be terrible or it can be good. We have to weigh the good and the bad and see where it will all take us. There isn’t a time in life where it will get easier. Life will continue to get worse if ...
You know those days that tend to go by and we are clueless as to how they end up being so damn obnoxious? Yeah those days. Wouldn’t it be nice if those days didn’t exist? I mean think about it. If certain types of days didn’t exist, where would we be? I often wonder about that. Would we be in a better place mentally? Would we be in a better place spiritually? What about physically? There are so many disruptive thought processes that come across our lives that we don’t know how they will end up. Those things tend to destroy our mentality the most. We can’t have that be happening to us. We have to find a way to overcome whatever it is that we need to overcome. Overthrow the overlords as it were.
It reeks of desperation at times. This life that is. We come into it so helpless and we leave with so much knowledge and wisdom after a long lived life. At least that’s the hope for us I think. If there isn’t anything we can do about such matters then we are doomed from the beginning. Sometimes our lives aren’t meant to get any better then they currently are. We are stuck in a thought process unable to ever establish if it’s real or not.
There comes a time in this life where we have to stand up for ourselves and try and figure out what’s going to happen. The future is waiting for us to figure it out. It’s just sitting there waiting for us to march up to it and go “hey! I know what I’m going to do with you!” Then we have to get on with it.
It doesn’t mean we’re doomed from the beginning though. We have the ability to change and grow into the people we wish to become. It’s not an easy or simple task mind you, but a necessary one. Growth is as important to us as learning. They go hand in hand you see. There’s nothing bad about learning and growing. We will become the better people we wish to be because of it.
