Saying that we control our own lives is a longshot, but, to a certain extent that is granted to us, we are able to maintain a nice ammount of control. Taking responsibility is indeed key and I would love to see more and more people think this way and act accordingly. Most people like the shortest and easiest way to whatever it may be and we should know that aquiring mental discipline is neither short, nor easy. On the long run, the easy way in or out is never stable or lasting.FoxyLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01503540061697713995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097246328543352380.post-64373154063290546402011-01-14T11:37:37.591-08:002011-01-14T11:37:37.591-08:00The key, I think, is learning mental discipline an...The key, I think, is learning mental discipline and taking responsibility for not just words and actions, but every stray thought we become conscious of. Integrity is so elusive because we are a race of imaginative creatures. It's the abstraction of thoughts and scenarios that make us self-aware and able to communicate in so many elusive ways. That inherent insecurity shapes our personalities and thus lends itself to the projection of a malleable ego prone to constant shifting as we learn and become ever more unique from our life experiences. Is it ever possible to be utterly and indefinitely certain that we mean our words and actions? It's only our flawed mirage-like perception that sets us apart from command-obeying machines and allows us to err, to invent, to make miraculous escapes and therefore survive. <br /><br />Grey is that subtle and frustrating magic, the irrational and uncertain thing we call human nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
