For a long time I have not written on my blog, in fact, a very long time... It seems like I only write in despair, disturbed and depressing moments. Like a big friend said "It's in these times that we become creative and inspired". I don't think it comes as a surprise that the title of this post is a paradox as well as a title of the Smashing Pumpkins, and me being a fan of those guys. If we look at things as a cycle we come to realize that when something stops (the end), something else starts immediately (the beginning). I.e., right after your hearts stops beating it gets filled with blood just to start beating again, and this continues on and on and on. When an object that is thrown losses it's speed (the end), it's starts falling (the beginning), finally, when it reaches the ground it stops moving (the end once again).
So, the end of something is the beginning of something else, that is also the end of something else.
Taking this to a human realm, ending something can be overwhelming, but it's a start to something new, but that something new can one day end...
How about decisions? What can we say about them? Only that we take in average thousands of decisions a day... For example, just to write this text I took a few decisions: First, to write it or not, then what to write about, then a friend sent a message on tweeter, do I read the message or finish righting. Suddenly I remember I have to go and eat something, my stomach is biting, but do I go now and risk forgetting the lines I have in my head or do I stay hungry for some time and finish this. So, in a couple of minutes I took 4 decisions, if we think that a day has 1440 minutes, then we can have a glimpse of how many decisions we make a day.
But, there are decisions and then there are decisions. Some are extremely easy and are solved immediately; but, as we all know there are some that are just killers. They are life changing and take all your fiber to decide. And if that isn't enough some of them just come with the best (worst) timing there is. So you are all happy that everything is going to be as planned, it will be raining tomorrow and you decide to stay at home in comfort and stable conditions and watch a bunch of movies... The next day you wake up and "The sun is shining, the weather is sweet" (hey, that's a song) so what do you do? Big decision, do you jump into the wilderness without knowing what can happen and take a risk? Or do you just stick to being stable at home thinking many more sunny days will come? This of course is a metaphor, everyone of you out there that have taken big decisions in life now well of what I am talking about.
Here, listen to this and think about those decisions, and if you took the right one or not. I have a big one to make and have been using it:
Finally here is something that MLK said somewhere:
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”
Until next time I have a deviation,
