Let the world go by

I think i found a phrase that describes my current attitude to life:

I am "under no illusion that life can be easy, nor am I dragged down by what others may have to say or think about me. I am my own person, and lets "the rest of the world go by" when i perceive it to be wrong."

This is something to aim for, and by no means am i taking the meaning of this literally at all.

I am starting to see more and more why people need counsellors.

All you people out there who, on some level of consciousness, think that why the hell would anyone want to talk to a stranger...(this include me, and thats why i can say this)...

I am beginning to get it.

Sometimes you become filled up with things, and you need to unload.

And unload real bad you'll need to.

So why unload to someone you care abt? Why should they take on the rubbish you don't want? Why should they taint themselves with the rust that you are flicking off? Even if they are more than willing to?

Its sometimes also easier to unload to an outsider. They are not affected by the highly charged emotions that surrounds the people involved, they can see the outside picture.

Whats more you get to say things about what you think without hurting anyone involved.

whats more you pay for them so you don't feel like you owe them anything.you feel like you deserve to talk. Although it sucks if you don't have all the time in the world to say what you want...

Love and hurt seriously does run together. Why do people who love each other hurt each other...well there's so many reasons.

Maybe the love is not enough
Maybe there are too many expectations

Maybe they don't love each other

What can sometimes hurt even more is the invisible arrow that pierces someone's heart, and i m not talking about cupid's arrow.
The indirect arrow.

That indirect blow.

Especially that unintentional but unmistakenly thrown upper cut.

When you are not understanding the situation, the MESSAGE that is being conveyed.

Because you are too involved with your own feelings, thoughts and what is happening to you.

Do you not notice that the victim is swallowing it all down, trying to stifle the cry of pain?

You probably don't even bother to unplug the shit in your ears to listen to the pain.

Time, distance, money, commitments, social life, superficiality

No matter how you may deny, their potent mixture is strong enough to cast a spell on anyone.

Like a over-extending shadow that blocks your own reflection, unable to see what others see in you.

And not accepting either.

Let the Rest of the World Go By

Is the struggle and strife
We find in this life
Really worth while, after all?
I've been wishing today
I could just run away,
Out where the west winds call.
With someone like you, a pal good and true,
I'd like to leave it all behind, and go and find
Some place that's known to God alone,
Just a spot to call our own.
We'll find perfect peace, where joys never cease,
Out there beneath a kindly sky,
We'll build a sweet little nest, somewhere in the West,
And let the rest of the world go by.
Is the future to hold
Just struggles for gold
While the real world waits outside,
Away on the breast
Of the wonderful west,
Across the great Divide?
With someone like you, a pal good and true,
I'd like to leave it all behind, and go and find
Some place that's known to God alone,
Just a spot to call our own.
We'll find perfect peace, where joys never cease,
Out there beneath a kindly sky,
We'll build a sweet little nest, somewhere in the West,
And let the rest of the world go by.
