GRATITUDE

Psychologically when you start taking care of yourself, you start to feel better and look nice, and all of the human quests in life aim at this, even at the social level. We want to feel better with others, look better to others, and even apologize to others to make ourselves feel better in owning up. Materially, to what extent is this quest for personal satisfaction considered enough, or is there even a limit? I guess the 6by6 feet home to spirit-less bodies, that is, if the limit exists, forgive my dumbness and ignorance if there is another limit. We are social beings, and individual prospects influence the general societal life bagging the question of when is taking care of oneself enough yet it's greedy and with the infinite inflow of desires.

I call desire the hardest or rather the most complex form of slavery, and it runs for years; easy to trace, of course, when humanity kicked in.

For you never desire and immediately feel contended. Instead, you even want more. You can never have enough; yes, it never satiates.

It's a huge "mountain," Depending on which side you are, that determines the kind of weather you experience and expect. Is it rainy or just dry ghost winds? On either side we all yawn for different weather. They say money isn't everything(infinite), but I'm sure until you have it, you can tell better; it's a road best experienced, not told. Our views are limited and, at times, biased just because of our location on the mountain.

In the religious realm, sin is meant or aimed at realization to initiate guilt that should prompt a change in the course, but what do you feel after you sin today? The feeling is a desire for more. More scamming, adultery, looting, and lying. When does it stop? Death bed is human nature that took enough time to evolve, and this is the right time. The other take is interesting enough, and it's called breaking the law. In the same case, we break and find ways around it, not to stop but new sophisticated ways. It's all the same. We never seize to want more.

Alcohol also projects wisdom, and I would say he's drunk wise.

"If you want to quit smoking, then smoke until your heart and lungs want no more."

As he shouts across the bar, standing on top of his table, his thin, emaciated body, I could count all his ribs way across the bar,

Wait, he has seven ribs. Of course, he's married; he found the missing one, the ring.

Yes, it's Saturday evening at the bar and is thinking about this as I can't stand all these men with rings on their fingers busy cuddling with half-dressed women in corners, oh the shouting lad is my former high school principal, he lost everything trying to take everything from the school. id say

He took too much that the master noticed; he wanted more cut while kneeling, yet even the standing had not to test received a dime.

He took his shirt off, claiming it was too heavy. Hilarious. Alcohol would be something else, especially if it didn't turn directly from water miraculously.

Oh, I almost lost track of my brainy parts. let's get back to it.

Should we smoke our lungs and heart out? In literal terms, we are going to die, right. That's a call for more nights at the bar to find out.

Gratitude inverts desire. You start to appreciate what you have regardless of the size rather than subjective to the slavery dungeons of desire. Be grateful, teach your minds and hearts to love yours and not how to survive smoking them out till they want no more. You'll never be happy, mount to anything of importance to society till you live yours. Be the man in the mirror, make yourself better, tame your desire, and you'll conquer life, for it's a mountain that you can't find your way around it. It would be best to go up and down to get to another side.

Are you fit enough to get to the other side before the altitude deprives you of oxygen or freezes you, or you die from hunger. Indeed it's a great adventure. I suggest in your backpack have more gratitude.
