Hopefully I'm on the upswing of getting out of this malaise that I've found myself in, in the past week. I need to get my head back in the game as far as classes are concerned. I am grateful for the good luck that I have and I am not taking it for granted. It makes me laugh, the irony of it all. The concerns that I have and don't have. I think it just reinforces what I am here for and what I'm not here for. I feel very confident in that and the little things that happen, the coincidences, the luck, etc. just bring it on home for me.
Saw a cool, little video about a Jewish Rabbi talking about love today. He told a story about a man watching another man catch and eat a fish. He asked the man "Why did you kill and eat that fish?" The man replied, "Because I love fish!!" Basically he's wrong. If he loved the fish he wouldn't have caught it and killed it. He loves the way the fish tastes. That's kind of how we translate love erroneously. We often mistake loving something or someone but it's only how that person makes us feel. We love the feelings that we are receiving.
Truly loving someone or something is unconditional. It doesn't matter what a person gives you what you receive from that person. You love them or it for merely existing.
That's what I got from it anyway and that's what I've felt all along.
Friendships are hard for me. Surface relationships are hard for me because I invest in people. Otherwise, it's not worth it for me. I know that's callous but it's true. I've suffered consequences for it but I've also gained a lot from it too. I love unconditionally and I know myself better for it.
I should stop while I'm ahead, I'm rambling.
