Random Thoughts (part Deux)
Here we go again:

-Sometimes I wonder if I'm more of a lover than a fighter. At times, I can be a bit of a romantic. I don't know if this is good or bad, but it's true nonetheless.

-I notice that I'm not much of a person who's hell bent on making a lot of money. If that were the case, money would be my ultimate bottom line and I'd be a very different person as a result of it. I'd prefer to make less but do something that I'm driven to do. Passion is the watchword.

-It bothers me how some people don't seem to want to improve themselves. By this, I don't necessarily mean pursuing further education or improving on their occupational skillsets. I mean improving on how they relate to people or at least even try to think about what other people may be thinking.

-On a related note, I wonder why so many people in this world are so quick to lecture others and yet they don't seem to listen to them. In a backhanded way, it's condescending. I'd like to go into this but I've already written nearly half of a thesis on this (in a personal journal). Consider the power of active listening. Just think on this will ya?

-Some people in this world can't even acknowledge that they are sheltered in some way. How are we to go into this world as a light if some of us are terribly naive of it? You can be in this world, but not necessarily of it.

-I realize that I am not a perfect man. I will never be as long as I'm alive. In our hearts there's a constant war. In this war, battles rage on. Sometimes we win some battles. Sometimes we lose. By the grace of God, my hope is that the less than desirable parts of me are remedied. My hope is that there is victory within.

-The heart is like nuclear power. It can drive us to do monumentally great things if we keep it in check. But used carelessly or with malice, it can do destructive things.

-I'm always looking at the future. Always.

-How come we don't have flying cars now??
