I don't know where I am going with this so thanks for watching me ramble.

So I'm shfting a lot. The past , the dysfunctional relationships, the pain of being less than, it's dissolving. Which is great. It is also leaving me feeling unsure of who I am. It is cognitive libery to be done with the past. I don't want it all to disolve immediatly though. For instance , what if I am totally capable of having a healthy relationship? What if I have meaningful work that supports me well. It's all so new. I was this depressed, needy, broken person for so long and now I am not. I did the work to not be so I take credit for that. What if everything is good with me and around me now? It's like being a whole new person and I don't know who that is exactly yet. Now what? What do do with this cognitive freedom? Help others? for sure. Create a better society ? yes of course.
What do you do with your cognitive freedom? What got you here to cognitive liberty anyway? Where are we going from here?

    if i may make a suggestion.



    Go get some chocolate ice cream. Enjoy it THOROUGHLY.

    Then, after you have responsibly, dutifully, honorably attended to your own happiness, ( therefore making yourself a fit member of society, capable of dealing with the negativity of the world around you and affecting it in a positive manner in return)
    THEN and ONLY THEN, after having performed your duty to society, you should NOW think about what you want to do with your life.



    Im dead serious about this, do this, and it will become clear.

      Fuck amerikan society and everything it pretends to stand for. You want to see what this country's REAL society is, look at the town halls full of brain dead morons fighting for corporations to help them ruin their own lives a little more. Yeeee Haawwwww! Fuck this country and every other god damned moronic fuck that thinks this country is even worth saving anymore. It needs to BURN to the ground and start over.

      Seriously,

        i cannot beleive i actually put my life on the line to preserve YOUR freedom, At Peacewithdeath.Your words shame all those that died, and those that are still dying, to keep you safe, and watch over you while you sleep. Im ashamed to be thought of sharing a country with such as you.
        Worth saving? This country is made up of people, and true, many of them, like yourself ,have never done anything to earn their freedom, but at least most of them are grateful for what others have done for their sakes. You make me want to puke.

          We don't have to earn freedom, it is a birth right. And freedom allows us all to say what we need to say. It is a shame people died, but it's not my shame . I am greatful for Barack and other civil servants and they never killed anyone. We live in this country so that we can express opposition to the government. It's a beautiful thing.

          >i cannot beleive i actually put my life on the line to preserve YOUR freedom

          The irony is that you actually expect us to believe that you put your life on the line for anyone else but yourself, 1c00a16d-4b2a-4bd7-b455-ca0ef48a2f07...if that.

          >Your words shame all those that died, and those that are still dying, to keep you safe, and watch over you while you sleep.

          Your words lack empathy, lack insight into the human condition, and lack any deep understanding of what anything more than warmongering and killing are about. You are, sir, mocking the existence of peace.

          >Im ashamed to be thought of sharing a country with such as you.

          As far as we know, you are free to go.

          >have never done anything to earn their freedom, but at least most of them are grateful for what others have done for their sakes.

          And what have you done for our sakes except stick around here trying to make others feel bad?

          >You make me want to puke.

          We make you do nothing...unless you are a puppet.

            wow, youre an idiot.
            mocking the existance of peace Timbo? how do you keep your peace? wave flowers at the mean men with guns? maybe theyre just misunderstood huh? go give em a hug Timbo, they just need someone to understand them, right?
            SIr, youre mistaken.
            I gave years of my life to the Navy, i watched your borders, i watched men die trying to protect you. I was responding to a person making a mockery of our country, a mockery of the sacrifice good men made for your sake , and for everyone in this country. Whether you want to beleive it or not, whether you like it or not, ther are a lot of good men and women that die every day for your sake, military, policeman, firemen, hell, even your local utility workers that work every day to give you water and power, they bust their ass giving you what you need to survive.
            I have my issues with the way this country is run, yeah, but the LAST thing ill ever do is make a mockery of the men that died for my sake, and yours.
            SIr, you should be ashamed.

            "And what have you done for our sakes except stick around here trying to make others feel bad? "

            What have i ever done for your sake? i pulled bodies out of the ocean at Trinidad for the hurricane efforts, so they could have a decent burial, i poured my share of over three thousand gallons of fresh water, and loaded onto the helos for delivery to them, i stood watch on my ship watching for drug runners, to keep the coke and the heroin and the rest of that crap away from your children, i helped rescue cuban refugees with no food and water starving to death on the 12 man boat we picked up that were just trying to get a better life for themselves, but i kept them warm, it was me that gave them blankets, it was me that stayed awake night after night, day after day, drilled over and over again to keep your borders safe, i had my m-16 on my shoulder for years and i was doing it for ungrateful bastards like yourself.

            i dont think ill talk to you again. i have nothing more to say to such as you.

              Wolf - While I appreciate what you have done, and understand your irritation at not being recognized for it, I would also respectfully suggest that you (and I and hundreds of thousands of others) all volounteered to do the job. We knew going in that we would not be appreciated by all, and denigrated by some, but we volunteered just the same. What right have we to REQUIRE obiescence for something that we volunteered to do? I believe none. I am not ashamed of what I did, and I do not feel any need to appologize for it, but at the same time neither do I care to be honored. I simply did what I thought was right at the time. That I think is, and should be, sufficient thanks.

              >how do you keep your peace?

              Inventing rhetorical strawmen and then foisting them on this tribe would not be my first choice in that direction.

    This is indeed a great thing;
    and while I'm not there, I think there's some wisdom
    I can pass along....
    Just Be.
    Take things one day at a time.
    Plan for the future, but live now.
    Pass positivity to the world,
    show the way towards enlightenment to others,
    convert negative energy to positive when and where you can.
    Wolf's point remains... take time for you and
    look at what is next for you... this will take time,
    as does recovery. The answers will come in time;
    until they do, find something that nurtures you...
    a hobby, craft....whatever works. Let your
    light shine in this endeavor.
    Perhaps one thing you could do is find an outlet
    that brings the light to others?!

      "Just Be.
      Take things one day at a time."

      I remember reading once, "The art of Zen is not to think about God while peeling the potatos. The art of Zen is just to peel the potatos."

      I believe that by truly being in the moment, and by truly living every moment, our lives are fulfilled, and our destinies are made clear to us. Also, as someone suggested in an earlier post, we have to be happy within ourselves before we canb spread happiness around. Chocolate helps in that endeavor. :-)
