IkuTube Posted July 4, 2024 Posted July 4, 2024 Strive To Live The Good Peaceful Life Should I want to live a good peaceful life, I have to know what could stress me. What would be the thing that triggers me to be in a specific state of well being. It will be wise that I am aware of it, that I am conscious of the cause. It will do me good when I recognize it, to live in harmony, with everything I experience and be accountable. When I strive to live the good life, I need to identify my values. Identifying what is important helps me to invest my life with meaning. It ensures high quality moving forward. It builds the healthy state of well being. Together, there will be a sense of fulfillment and life becomes much worth living. In the world of infinite abundance, what I seek shall be what I get. With that, what would be crucial is on the way I think. The way I manifest. Life is all two parts – the light and the dark. What separated the two is an invisible thin line. Hence, I need to watch my thoughts for they become things. I become what I think about. The me I see, the me I will be. I think, therefore, I am. I think positive, I become positive. I think negative, I become negative. I think I can, I can. I think I cannot, I cannot. To live well, I should be able to deal with the how, the what and the why. It is important that I avoid the mundane life of doing any activities without reflecting on their values. It is also important that I strive for the good life to attract inner peace. Should I want my life to be good and peaceful, I need to take the responsibility to own it. I am - primarily - the only one accountable to everything that is happening in my life. What I do to myself is not the choice offered by others. I have to take charge and to take good care for what is right by me, and for me. Accountability is one noble thing that changes all adversarial belief systems in life. I must not hold to anger, hurt and pain. When I stay in them, happiness will not find me. For these emotions steal my energy and keep me from love. But, how do I do it? Why is it so important to become aware of it? In the event that I let loose, what can be the consequence? Life is beautiful. Life is simplicity. While it is okay to chase after wealth (in moderation with enough is enough), life becomes more meaningful when I strive further for something purposeful. There is the emotional prosperity to accomplish. There is the spiritual enlightenment to embrace. Happiness is not about getting all I want. It is about enjoying all I have. It is important not to procrastinate whenever I get a nudge. Divine nudges are sparse and rare. Where there is an inspiration, act on it. 'No action, talk only' is not a good way to live. Studies have shown that procrastination is associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. It is also associated with loneliness and it reduces life satisfaction. I must not leave anything for later. Later, the coffee gets cold and the nice aroma is gone. Later, I lose interest and something else distracts me. Later, the day turns into nights and more nights of darkness. Later, people grow up, grow old and one by one they passed on. Later, I regret not doing something when I had the chance and when I was still able. Living the good life is about taking responsibility. Taking responsibility for my actions is fundamental aspect of personal growth. It is an act towards maturity and wising up in life. Taking responsibility involves acknowledging my mistakes, owning up to my decisions and actively working to make amends to improve. I have to live not to blame on anything and everything. No one is at fault when things do not go the way I want my life to be. I have to stop the blame. Instead, I need to live to take full responsibility on all my actions, my feelings, my words and my thoughts. The result to what I do, say and think is the consequences from my actions, my words and my thoughts. Blame does not solve problems. It does not mend pains and agony. Blame reduces me from being a responsible matured thinking person. Blame is the energy of a loser. Blame is a trait of fault finders. Should I do things with good heart, say with compassion and think with love, the result brings happiness. On the other hand, when I do with an expectation, say arrogantly and think maliciously, the result can be detrimental and there is no room for compassion. What I give out is what I get back. When I want positive good things in life, I have to be positive. When I want love, I have to be ‘love’. I cannot be arrogant yet desire to stay humble. I cannot fill my soul with hate and yearn to live a good peaceful life. The law of attractions and vibrations is always at play. With it comes the law of cause and effect. What goes around comes around. It is a matter of time for karma to bite back and it can bite harder. Life moves in the direction of the dominant thought. My action is the sum total of my thoughts. I have to watch my words when I am with others. I have to watch my thinking mind when I am alone. It is important to be mindful, constantly. How aware am I on such things? Have I learned to criticize myself enough so that I can change to be a good human? Do I allow others to share their honest thoughts on my shortcomings and truly accept them gracefully? To be the good me, I have to see myself in the mirror. I have to necessarily invite someone to give practical hard feedback, constructive criticism. Fact is, I can never see what is right behind me. Point is, to know is better than to live a life in pure ignorance. Point is, it is about building a desire for good change. Point is, it is a test to see that I am willing to see (and know) the true me. Point is, and it is the hard truth, I am not always right. When I do that, I get to see and know my flaws. The mirror is not about pumping up my ego to make me feel perfect. It should be an instrument where I need to look much deeper, far beyond the physical and far beyond what I think. My look is nothing when I have an ugly personality. Others are the mirrors to my soul. They are my consciousness towards my state of being. They are my reflection. They are my teachers for me to learn about myself. What I think of them and what I see in them are telling me the stories, and the lack, of my life. Reflection brings heightened awareness to create a good peaceful life. The more I see far beyond me, I learn about who I am. Who am I? What is my identity? I am more than just my name, my appearance, my age and the color of my skin. Life expands with knowing. It is the knowing that grows and life simply expands to contain it. When my mind is at peace, I become teachable. So long I am a living person, there is always something new to learn. Lessons are essential to make me to take responsibility in life. With accountability, I learn to be good; to be kind; to be useful; to be a blessing. Responsibility allows me to be forgiving. Yes, I am a choice maker. It shall be my choice to live. What I choose defines me. Do I want to continue to shoot blame? Or do I want to take charge to be accountable and be a responsible human? Life is about growing and evolving. Every day brings something new to rejuvenate the mind. I live in a world that is constantly changing, constantly evolving. The truth is, as Mother Earth gets older, she becomes even more beautiful. She is more luxurious. How much am I allowing myself to live with her richness, in her abundance? I am both a teacher and a student. These roles are intertwined. I must not allow my ego to think that I am learned nor am I stupid stupid. I can never know everything. I should not fool myself to think I have excellent intellect. So long I am called human, I will always have my limitation. There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. I cannot think that I have the answers for everything. I must not have the inclination to feel that I can solve all life problems. I must not listen to talk. When I allow myself to think such and proudly to be such, I fail. When I do not see with my eyes, when I do not hear with my ears, I must not invent things with my big mouth.

single42 Posted July 9, 2024 Posted July 9, 2024 (edited) 22nd nov 1995, a day I will never ever forget. Prior to that day, I'll never forget the days where I waited for u rain / shine at the school gate. piggyback u home every day. we fell in love, yet we never spoke of it. I thought I was caught cheating for my O level English paper that morning... instead, it was a call that I have to take in the principal office that broke me. Your mum was on the other side of the line crying telling me you ain't gonna make it this time round. I asked for a black t shirt from the principal, I walked out of the school & I walked out on the O level of my life. I reached the hospital room where u took ur last breathe with u in my arms. If u're still alive, u should be in ur mid 30s by now. I just wanna let u know that the promised I held onto at ur coffin, u're my no.1 woman in my life and nobody else holds that pole position forever. Every heterosexual r/s came & left. same for my 1st marriage. I'm heading to Philipine soon to marry this awesome lady. she's about ur age too if you're still alive, single mum of 2 awesome kids. I stop visiting east coast park (our fav spot near the breakwater) and I will no longer go there to throw the white rose into the water anymore. Just promise me one thing, we will meet again at the stair way to heaven. Edited July 10, 2024 by single42 Steve5380 1 Quote

You also speculate that since we are completely ignorant about it and ourselves, everything is possible? She must be already in heaven for over 28 years. She may not choose the stairway to heaven. When your time comes, she may be at your side and take you by your hand to guide you into heaven. Through the main entrance with the red carpet. In the meantime if you dare to speculate, you may find that there is a probability that she is now by your side as a guardian angel, to care about the success of you and the awesome lady. Quote
Guest JERICO Posted August 15, 2024 Posted August 15, 2024 No sex Someone recently asked me why I don't have sex with another person when my bf prefers not to have sex anymore.

IkuTube Posted August 11, 2025 Posted August 11, 2025 How Aware And Conscious Am I? As is, as one thinking human, you and I are aware of many things. As is, as one egoistic human, you and I feel insulted when others say we lack the sense of awareness. At a glance, all humans – and they include you and I, tend to be self aware. We can think. We feel. We act and react accordingly. We would say we know what is good or bad and what is right or wrong. In short, we claim that we are aware of ourselves. We would probably admit - intellectually and with experiences - we understand the world around us. Humans pride with having the sense of awareness which allows each one of us – including you and I - to perceive, process, act and react to our surroundings, based on what we think we know. Our pride would also say of what we know to be our sense of awareness that is filled with good guarded conscientious mindset. However, the sense of awareness is usually a subjective experience which may be distorted, which can be biased. We are aware we need to be a good human but our consciousness makes us to forget, most times. An example, in order to be a good human being, we have to be conscious that we are living in a secular world where all humans are equal. We need to be nice to each other, be kind and be respectful albeit of our different languages, customs and cultures, races and religions. Sadly, this is not the case. Our awareness is just one aspect of consciousness. Like the onion, awareness forms the most outer layer with consciousness at the deep end. Awareness is the ability to reflect but consciousness is the sum total from the conscious and the sub-conscious minds that raise awareness to another level. To be fully aware, it is important to understand the subtle intricacies on the Conscious Self. It is important to understand the language of the minds, both the Conscious and Sub-Conscious. It is important I ask myself, ‘where is my level of awareness’? And, ‘how conscious and to what degree of consciousness do I have as a living human being’? I need to know and create the want to know it. I should not be living my life blindly only to be guided by the ego, misconception, intolerance and denial. Perspective is usually shaped by one’s experience which may lack understanding and, henceforth, a distorted projection on awareness and consciousness. One can be spiritually, emotionally and mentally aware – on the intellectual level - but lacks soul consciousness at the same time. A person knows and understands sympathy but may not be sensibly empathetic. A person may be complaining for good cause but unconsciously live a life of keyboard warrior. To speak out one’s thought is one thing (the awareness) but to act on that thought makes the huge difference (the conscious living). Having a good awareness is not good enough as it does not make life full. Awareness is the ability to process but consciousness is about making meaningful sense to Life. Am I conscious of my mental clarity? Am I conscious of my emotional clarity? Am I conscious of my spiritual clarity? Am I conscious of my role as a person, as a human being, and my place in the world? What is the sum total when consciousness verses awareness is added? To live a meaningful life and to be a good human with purpose, it is important to do self reflection to raise awareness. Only when there is a heightened awareness that conscious living awakened. The level of awareness with the level of consciousness fits all life’s puzzles significantly. Together, it generates a broader sense to live the empathetic life in full harmony. However, self reflection should not be done from the mind of the Ego for its eyes only want to see all is good, all is right. Also, it should not be done from the lowest ebb of self-pity or self-loathe where self victimization is not the key towards nurturing the Inner Child within. A conscious mind will not neglect nor belittle the Inner Child. It is good to do it from why things are going wrong? Why errors need to be corrected? It is an enriching mindset exercise. Awakening awareness is living up life’s dreams to become a proactive plan for bigger success. It is no longer about dreaming but doing. It is a conscious step to bring light into life. It is the cry of the soul to say goodbye to darkness - for in the light, clarity becomes wisdom. It is to bring positive meaning and working on higher purpose in life. Why self reflection (with the objective to heighten awareness) is important? Thinking is a burden when thinking gets too much. It is in the awareness of the doing – actions and reactions - that counts. If I think I am good, how good am I doing it? Should I think I am a loving person, do I have the unconditional heart with a positive non-judgemental thinking brain? The more the sense of awareness is brought into life, consciousness expands. In general, being aware is best cultivated from situational awareness. Situational awareness brings people wanting to understand why things happen that are affecting them, usually to safeguard one’s safety or security. It is to find consciousness to comprehend the significance to life. When the process to think is free, words – on the other hand, are cheap. I may say that I cannot control what happens. Such thought is plainly my awareness. However, for me to control how I respond would be nurturing my consciousness. My consciousness may think I am speaking to the soul of others but am I aware of the ego misinterpreted their body language, their minds and their responses? How can I reconcile them to be on the same page to be unconditional? I may tell myself not to fear. Again, such thought is plainly my awareness. However, for me to tell myself nothing in life is to be feared but only to be understood is raising my consciousness. I may say that the greatest wealth is having a healthy body, a peaceful mind and having the right people in my life. In essence, that is such a beautiful awareness for me to live right. But, to know how to yield that greatest wealth by knowing who is ‘the right people’ is to live by higher consciousness. I want to live a peaceful, joyful life and create awareness to fulfil it. But, should I lack the full understanding to decode the consciousness to alter natural course of actions, the joy peaceful life can be a far-reaching want. In awareness, I can tell myself not to blame others. However, to live with consciousness, it is wise that I am always taking full responsibility on my actions, reactions and my words and not to blame others should things fail. Ironically, failures in life are not caused by others but ownself where I fail to hold self accountability and responsibility. I am aware that I need to breathe to live but am I conscious that breathing can tremendously calm me down too? I am aware to be good, to be kind and to be nice will give a quality life. However, am I conscious such values promote unconditional love towards all humans of different races, skin colors and religions living peacefully together? I am aware that bad mouthing, gossiping or complaining is bad. But, do I consciously make an effort to tell myself not to do it but deliberately step up to make the difference? Or, that I fight for equality to share with others that such behaviour divides us and crumbles human relationships? Therefore, the question that I need to ask myself is, ‘how often must I reflect’? Should I do reflection every each day? How long should each exercise be? Do I want to raise my consciousness? What kind of exercise is effective to raise awareness and to embrace conscious living? The logic in doing self reflection is to bring awareness in line with conscious living. It is the inward journey to learn about life purpose. It is an exercise to become what God wants me to be. It is the nutrient for healthy personal growth to nurture basic consciousness. With basic consciousness, the thinking mind becomes aware of the world leading to greater self understanding to live life lovingly and peacefully. I reckon the day I get to be conscious and becoming much aware, I get to celebrate a big win in life. I am aware that life pains never end but for me to find many reasons to smile is a conscious effort. Life becomes a gift, truly. It is in knowing, in such understanding that makes a big difference in living a quality life with bigger meaning. It is on the higher state of awareness and consciousness, acceptance on all things becomes natural. In such state, all thoughts and feelings are without judgement even if they are unpleasant. In such state, there is mindfulness not to get caught up in life complexities. As Is, life is simple – it is the thinking mind that makes it otherwise.

In essence, that is such a beautiful awareness for me to live right. But, to know how to yield that greatest wealth by knowing who is ‘the right people’ is to live by higher consciousness. What is consciousness? A simple answer can be: " I am conscious at all times in my life, except when I am unconscious ( during sleep ). Fair deal. I am conscious now. A harder question can be: what is my "I", what am I, what does it mean that I am I? Such a question seems so dumb, so obvious, of course I am I. I happen to be an agnostic, so I have no answer for the above question. I am completely ignorant of what I am. Yes, I can speculate, even assign probabilities. Maybe I am lazy, but I find that the ignorance in agnosticism is a source of peace. To recognize that as a living material body we cannot know of any reality that goes beyond the Nature we were born into. Can Nature be more than this? I think that the probability of this is very high. But again... ignorance! It is possible that some mentalities in some transcendental state can get hints of this supernatural, but hints are not facts. One of my preferred speculations is that our spirit, our essence, has been temporarily assigned to a human body. And during this time, it feels that IT IS this human body. Also, "good" and "bad" only has sense for living creatures in their Nature. After one's life has ended, there is no judgment for our spirit, it merely has gained the experience of the ended life. ( and if there were punishment... what can be a worse punishment than having to endure life in a material body? ). So Adolph Hitler, now dead, is not now in hell, and Pope Francis is not now in heaven. ( I was born before Hitler died, so I cannot be a reincarnation of him, ha ha! This means, fellow gays, I am not SO BAD! ) I also think that the greatest wealth is having a healthy body, a peaceful mind and having the right people in one's life. If we can age in this condition, at one point we can consider our whole life a success, and live a happy life to the end! Quote

Weird coincidence that a post I made last year is suddenly referenced when Im having a moment of reflection. Last week, for the first time I came closest to another person. My hands around his waist while he slowly pulled me closer in a half embrace. I could feel his breath on my face, ears and our lips briefly touched but we didnt kiss. It was the moment of soft intimacy that I have not had for a very long time and which I enjoyed. But only for that brief moment. Thots of sex spiralled in my head but it was not something that I desired. It seems being physical with another guy is still not for me yet. It actually felt weird. Perhaps its been a long time. Oh well. Quote

IkuTube Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Life Is To Be Understood Do not worry. Do not let it consume us. Do not bother. Do not let it upset us. Do not give excuses. Excuses are for failures. All that happens is made for good reasons. For they are valuable lessons to let us become better human. All have been divinely planned. We are all sinners. We fall shorts. Do not be angry. Do not let it destroy us. Learn not to take things personally. Do not get personal. Learn to accept. Learn to have an open mind. Fill the heart with love. Not hate. Learn to admit we are flawed. Stop the mind from intellectualizing. Learn to be mindful. Learn to exercise self compassion. Life is preyed upon anger. It is haunted with ambiguities. It triggers anxieties. It is plaqued with lusts. To keep life in its truest form, let the heart connects to divinity. Recognize the soul. Let the soul to light in the light of God. Let the body and mind be filled with clarity and wisdom. Let there be forgiveness. Be good. Be kind. Be nice. Be useful. Acceptance is the key. With every hello, there will be goodbye. With every good, there is always bad. Resist is paralysis. To fight against the inevitable is fighting against faith. When there is no faith, there will be no trust. Without trust, trouble troubles us. Not to accept reality, while life can be harsh, is the problem of the pride. It is the struggle of the ego. Life is to be understood. It is not to be feared. There is right in all the wrongs. Face it, there are many things we do not know. There are many things we do not understand. There are many things we do not know what it all meant. Why we did the things we did? Why we said the things we said? Wrong is a personal judgement. Wrong is an inability to accept. Wrong is self entitlement. When we wronged someone, it is an act where one commits himself to be better than others. There are thousand kinds of perception. There are thousand kinds of self right. In all these thousand kinds, each is influenced by personal experience, personal interpretation. Each is one’s subjective viewpoint. What do these things mean? Do they serve our higher purpose? Do they make us perfect? Henceforth, what is perfection? What is right? What is truth? For today, let us surrender. For now, count our blessings. In each breath, be grateful. In every moment, let go and then let God. To say bless is to understand what life is. All spiritual practices lead to God. We may be different but that does not mean we are right. Right is when we learn to be good human first. Right is when we know respect is to be earned. Self entitlement does not bring us peace of mind. It does not unite humanity. Self entitlement hurts the soul. It belittles the inner child. Growth retards. Only when we learn not to judge, joy starts to grow. May the blessings be.

IkuTube Posted April 16 Posted April 16 To Live Is To Become Aware The Peace of 'I' is an inside job. When there is true self awareness, both realized internally and externally, clarity lives in pure presence. Wisdom is instilled when there is the capacity to internalize all actions, reactions, thoughts and words (termed 'Deeds') are carried out in the name of true unconditional love. To be a better human, we need to become aware on how we deal with these deeds. We have to see and watch them. We have to hear and listen to them. We have to feel and pay attention to the frequencies they carry. Being mindful leads us to strength our Spiritual Self that shaped our well being. With our Spiritual Self, we embrace empathy. How we live by them define the quality of our lives. Life is about making choices. We can choose to live with problems. Or, we choose to resolve them. It is choosing to survive the day or authoring the future. The intent on choice carries underlying sacred energies. Do we choose out of fear? Do we choose out of love? Hard truth is, we need to decide on choices. Simple truth is, knowing what we want makes things easy. Live to be a good human. Be truthful. Be nice. Be kind. Be useful. Be a blessing. A life lived wisely is on finding the right space between stimulus and response. It is a state of pure witnessing on the power to choose. Hence, choose with love and only love in every steps in life. With every forgiveness, life is at peace. Closing the door, after forgiveness takes place, is self respect. Closing on that door, is not about hate, not about anger. It is protecting self value. Distance becomes dignity. What is meant, it will be. What happened has happened. Let the past stay where it belongs. Remorse heals. Those who move on choose peace over memory. Those who cannot choose Self Entitlement. Self entitlement is not peace. It divides humanity. It breeds contempt. Moving on is a must. It is the ego that gets hurt the most leaving behind. Peace is constant. It is the foundation unlike the weather. But, peace needs a room to stay. Its existence is never touched by the human experiences it perceived. Peace is essentially the bridge between knowing who we are and and simply being who we are. Peace is always there, steady and unmoved. Peace is in knowing we are souls lived in borrowed physical bodies. Right now, stop stressing over things we cannot control. Nothing kills more than the over thinking mind. Life is about awakening of consciousness. When we live to become aware, then every experience (good or bad) is a tool for growth, for discovery. When we accept the tools, they turn life into a process of self discovery and empowering experiences towards knowing our higher purpose. Aren't we want to know our higher purpose? With the tools, we raise our consciousness towards our presence as to why we are here on Mother Earth. With raised consciousness, we become respectful towards life and to live to become a good human first before our age, colours, races and religions. May the blessings be!

IkuTube Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Be True Learn to be true to yourself. Be the person who stays true to his / her words. Importantly, listen to our words and how they sound. All the words we choose, we vocalize them and the tone we use to deliver them, make profound difference in life. The awareness to it harness the respectful connection among us. Words are energy. Sound is too. While there are no wrong words and wrong answers and the conscious mind cannot grasp everything that is happening, these energies shape the ways of lives. They shape our connection with each others. They lead us to the next step moving along with the energies we have created. Words transform our true well being. They nourish the wellness of the soul as well as destroying it. Learn to unlearn those words that diminished the sense of meaning. Learn to consciously empower words to elevate higher purpose and pursuing loving intentions. Avoid saying something that we, as humans, cannot hold with the true intention. A promise is a promise. A yes is a yes. A no is a no. Obey what we say for it directly shaping the soul to embrace its highest purpose. When we align our thought with the soul, life gets to be beautiful. We live with the way of our higher purpose. Let words guide us to the deeper level on self realization. With heightened comprehension on self realization, we raise our vibrations and consciousness towards God realization. This path is the only way for us to understand our existence more. It is the only way to erase rigid structures and outdated believes. It stops us from getting stressed out over things we cannot control. The soul that is given to us does not come on Earth to be corrected. What is, is the thinking mind - the mental mind, the emotional mind, the spiritual mind and the physical mind. Fact is, nothing kills more than the over thinking of these minds. To say something without holding to its true intention betrays genuine relationship. It destroys connectedness among us. Over saying and amplify the true intention, just to make ourselves worthy, leads to disconnection. Trust develops from fath where actions are, and needed to be, proven. Do not say something just to make us look good, feel good. Doing so, we are in partnership with the Ego. We become the accessory for the Ego to go out of control. We become its slave, without we know. It is perfectly okay to say no. To say 'No' is a courage. To say 'No' is setting up boundaries. To say 'No' is taking charge on our well being. It is the art in knowing what we truly want and what matters most. No soul bears the burden of others. We answer to our own decisions, our own choices and not others. We come here, on Earth, alone and we shall go home alone too. In between the timeframe, it is about ourselves and God alone. Each one of us needs to take accountability and responsibility for our own actions. Our actions should not be imposed onto others.

IkuTube Posted June 30 Posted June 30 How To Teach The Mind To Think? Every morning, for yet it is another blessing, we wake up and the mind can be overwhelmed with random thoughts. We wake up to all sorts of ideas: - To accomplish things, - To complete outstanding tasks, - To chase another dream, - To make another new day better - And so on and on. The idea is to give life a true meaning, a true purpose with the brand new day. Reality is, we can improve on how we live, on how we learn and unlearn and how we teach the mind. We live to accept the problems and how we solve them – with love and with better understanding. We live to observe and how to deal with the thought process. All about life is an education All about knowingness is an inspiration. All about awakening is soaring opportunities. All about consciousness is evolving the soul higher. All good human connection and genuine empathy ignite inner strength. Engaging in reflective learning forces new life directions. All life needs are for our mental mind, emotional mind, spiritual mind and the physical mind to engage and broden all life experiences. All life asks are for us to be positive in the way we think, in all the ways of our lives and become positively proactive in every interaction. Just as gravity ensures nothing falls to Earth for free, our blessings require our energies, our actions and our efforts to work together in tandem. When we do nothing, nothing comes. The brain is made to move, to explore and to react. Understanding consciousness is about survival. The failure not to use it wisely and to dismiss it entirely leads to stagnation, ends with a loss. Action creates the momentum. Action speaks louder. Growth never happens by accident. We get what we want because we truly want it and know the reasons why we truly want it. Knowing and internalizing the ‘Want’ are the forces reshaping the output. Nothing in life is free. We reap what we sow. However, it is important to know that the brain is highly adaptable. We need to be mindful with what we teach the brain. So long we are still alive, there are still many things to learn to become a good or better person. Acquiring new knowledge is an ongoing thing to improve on the way to live. However, do not indulge in over intellectualize the simplest things. Every choice has consequence. Every action has reaction. Every experience finds the pursuit of mastery.
