Feelings, wo wo wo feelings . . .

I need to jot this in carefully. I have come to a couple important realizations this morning, thanks to two dear friends.

The first realization is from my friend's facebook post where she said that she suffers from depth perception. In such a succinct and profound way she captured the essence of what I am undergoing.

I am a sensitive person and I see in depth greatly, and in doing so I am disquieted much of the time by what I see.

My other friend spoke of my tendency to discount what I feel. Maybe it is a left-over from the macho-John-Wayne-mind-set I was raised in. I need to acknowledge what I feel and accept the feelings, and then deal with them. That is a bit different to what I normally do.

Life Examined

The unexamined life is not worth living. Socrates, in Plato, Dialogues, Apology
Greek philosopher in Athens (469 BC - 399 BC)


I wonder at how many folks out there do not examine their own lives.

After watching the coverage of the attempted assassination of Gabby Giffords, I have come to the conclusion that there are lots of folks who have anger, and haven't a clue what to do about it.

I have always believed that it is the individual's responsibility to curb his acting out on the anger that is within.

My thoughts are with Gabby Giffords and her family, along with the innocent victims of the crazed shooting.
