Today whilst roaming thru my queendom I stumbled upon a statement someone made. That statement was "I'm a simple man.... I just want a drama free year." I, in turn, responded with, "But how would U appreciate simplicity w/o drama? U can't appreciate the sun if it didn't rain." He then begins to explain that it's all controllable. He is convinced that you can control all of the drama in your life by eliminating or discounting people that are "dramatic". He says, "...negative people everywhere but you can control them entering your "life". You can control it all... If u focus...just remove negative humans out your life.. ". Though I agree partially, I disagree more. Yes, upon an inital meeting of a person you can sense if they are about drama and choose to exclude them from your life never to be entertained by them again but what about the people that's already in your life? Do you exclude them too? If mama or daddy is having a dramatic episode do you exclude them from your life forever or do you bounce until the coast is clear? I say bounce until the coast is clear. The longer you entertain drama, it will stick around like the mole on Cindy Crawford's face. It's how you handle drama that's important. You can choose to entertain it or you can choose learn from it and move on and trust me, there is education in negativity. It's like you can choose to have a good day or you can choose to have a bad one. You don't however, eliminate everyone from your life. That's a lonely life to live. And how do you exactly live w/o drama? You can't! That's like trying to control the rain or tax. They both are inevitable! And who's to say that drama is brought on by people IN your life? Drama can be brought on by a total stranger coming out of the blue and like....totaling your car or stealing your identity. Did you invite those people N2 your life? No but they brought you the drama of gaining the headaches obtaining a new vehicle. You have issues with the insurance company, the rental company, maybe the bus driver if you decide to take public transportation. Then there's the $250 to $500 deductable that you may not have in the bank. The list goes on and on. Let's not mention the headaches of a stolen identity and trust me, I've been there and it's no walk in the park. You basically have to prove that you are who you say you are and we all know that's not an easy task. Drama, like rain, taxes & death, will always be around. There are things that will always be inevitable no matter how positive you try to be or think. It's life! That's why I find it very amusing and quite funny actually when one gets frustrated when they can't live a perfect life. Are you serious? Praying for peace is like fucking for virginity...IMPOSSIBLE!
My second and most important point is this....how can one appreciate the sunshine w/o a lil rain? This too, my friend, is impossible. Walk around the house blindfolded for a couple of hours & see how much you appreciate sight. Lock yourself in the house for 2 days w/o a loved one, tv, radio, Facebook, the internet or people and see how much you miss companionship. You can't appreciate the person you are if there were never any disparaging moments. Some people usually don't appreciate their jobs until they don't have one. The old saying goes "You never miss your water until your well runs dry."
Let me know your thoughts. I appreciate what you have to say.
May your next 364 days equal 2 a great new year for you.
Namaste'
