I was meditating/reflecting today and I wrote somet things down while I was doing it. Not all of it will make complete sense but there was conscious thought behind all of it.

OK here they are in no particular order (cuz they were written on cardboard):


You (as in "you" in general) could be lying to make yourself prove yourself.

Feeling old when you are young is opression.

We must all survive at once in order (for most people) to feel young.

Honesty is proof that you know someone. Therefore, honesty proves that you will know someone. (This includes yourself.) (Or to go futher with this, it is what trust involves.)

Lies make others feel old.

Have faith in health.

Youth saves us all.

Live!



Well that was everything almost exactly as written. I added some elaboration in paranthesis. Some of these things may seem obvious while some may seem vague.

Anyways, this is what I do when I am reflecting in this somewhat meditative state that I can feel at times when I let myself.

This may seem like a strange place to post this type of thing... I mean its not a spirituality forum in here... but I've felt pretty comfortable in here due to the tight close knit community we have. I know I get in little arguments with some of you at times, but I am far from a hostile person. This has been the busiest year of my life and I am proud of that. Sometimes a by-product of the stress involved in that is bickering with people over things that dont quite as much matter in life.

What really matters in life is living it and living it with other people around you. Your friends, your family, your communities, whether they be online or in person. Who knew something called a PS2 could bring me so close to all kinds of great people. Gamers unite!

PEACE

100% agreed when you bury someone you knew something changes you get a little older inside. People who lose someone close to them on a very young age grow up to fast, they never get the change to have a true care-free youth. Don't know if that's what you ment but that's mine interpretation of it.

It's your thoughts, so I won't interfere

I don't have this great cult of Youth. Youth is a phase. I think if you're afraid of losing it, you'll only ruin it. You must live and accept every phase of life. That's how you can live evry bit of it to its fullest. People that are afraid to be or feel old, are the ones who always regret anything in life and are the ones who never enjoy what they have. They're always thinking about loss and the thought of it make them feel afraid, and being afraid all the time is what more than anything makes them feel old. A person who's calm and serene at heart doesn't need to prove anything, and doesn't need lies to survive either. It's fear and lack of acceptance that cause people to lie and be always in need to want more. Youth is not eternal, and it has its bad sides. Maturity on the other hand, which means aging and getting old for natural causes, has its good sides and if you learn to enjoy the process of aging without being obsessed by your lost youth, it will bring you serenity and more. Youth as a state of mind can be achieved only by the people who can accept what life brings and learn a lesson from it.

That was very random and it's not a reply to the first post. That is just what came to mind reading it
