Hello world!

Welcome to my blog. I suppose I should use it. Whereas the creation of a thing can be an achievement, it is the utilization of the creation that renders it useful or not.

The world is at war, our planet is revolting, and a so-called civilized species is at once showing infinite brilliance and accepting stupidity with vigor. The presence of knowledge and absence of reason creating a new punctuation in evolution?

Recognizing a sentence fragment and being an educated student of awareness are two completely different things. Over-emphasis of imperfection is often a buoy for the insecure, something used by coveters to bolster their opinions of themselves and falsely increase their importance in the eyes of others. Why address real issues when foibles, “unacceptable” factual mistakes used as cornerstones of negative criticism, can lead to never-ending trivial debate and over-shadow real issues thus interrupting progress if not preventing it altogether?

To classify a situation as unacceptable is a mistake. Consider this idea even if only to promote a certain way of thinking. In my opinion, nothing can or should be considered unacceptable. Acceptance is required – period. Classifying something as unacceptable is in a way denial. Denial prevents discourse. Without considering everything as it really is, solutions are elusive if not impossible. Therefore, a real fact, event or behavior must be accepted as reality and dealt with accordingly. Regardless of specific definitions, the concept presented here is certainly worth serious consideration.

So, as I go about “accepting” everything I begin to see my approach in contrast with the main-stream ideology of today, assuming there is such a thing. Not to mention nearly everyone I encounter. Is there a place for me? Can I speak and be heard, much less be understood? I do not know.

I do know my approach has changed my life so fundamentally that I am a very different person now than before this epiphany. Whether it’s foreign or domestic policy, religious debate, or personal issues like drug addiction, acceptance is the key. Once acceptance is given, the real work begins. The time to deal with issues head on has come. Discovering and accepting truth is a never-ending struggle. But without it, we are left to experience life as observers, unpaid pawns rather than prosperous individuals. Being unaware of our individual minds’ workings and allowing others to in effect control us can lead to only one end. Or, lack of awareness can lead to an infinite array of ends, none of which are correct or desirable.

There is only one truth. This fact is indisputable. Whether or not we are aware of this is irrelevant. In other words, if we assume the universe exists, and we cannot go back in time, everything that has occurred is what it is. The adage “what is is” may be humorous in its simplicity, but…

It is so true. Consider the current political battle being waged for president. Does the electorate effect or affect the perception of truth? Through multiple means those wishing too can and do attempt to persuade the electorate about truth. This leads to the legislation of truth rather than truth being the basis of legislation.
