The Hardest Part

Namaste. Welcome. This is now blog #201. Thank you to all my supporters, friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers that have helped encouraged me to make this possible. Who am I? Quiet Mouse 420. This is my blog where I talk about EVERYTHING. I'm a student of life. This comes with its merits and it also comes with its disadvantages. Today I am here to speak about the latter of those two.

I realized today that growing up, even as an adult, is difficult. It's exhausting at times paying bills and rent, food and water, electricity and gas and on and on... oye!
These things are stressing, especially when you have children and/or a spouse. Today I learned a lesson that I believe will stick with me for the rest of my days. I learned one of, if not THE HARDEST thing about being an adult....

Ready...

Wait for it...

It's having the knowledge to help someone else with their problem, regardless of age relation, and the other person MUST FAIL, as I have in my past, many times over, and make the exact same mistakes I did, or similar that I can knowledgeably prepare this person for, BUT... that person is going to make the mistake anyway because we have the fatal flaw as human beings to not learn from the mistakes of others, but only our own. It is to our own detriment that we do this futile thing, however even myself not withstanding, I wish to express a little bit of gratitude toward my elders for their strength and restraint... I'm sure myself and others were more than a handful to raise. I hope I turned out well, lol...
It just sucks now as an adult having made many mistakes that I could impart knowledge that would potentially help another. I understand now why things must happen. It is our cosmic fate to make mistakes because we NEED to have these experiences to shape who we are supposed to be TOMORROW. You see, each day brings new promise and the fates have a hand in store for us all. Some of us are here to serve a simple purpose of helping others or pushing them toward a higher goal. It seems so clear to me now that even though bad things happen to us in our lives, cosmically, we NEEDED to experience that... for whatever reason the higher power deems necessary. We CAN tolerate a LOT and the experiences mold and shape us in ways we cannot even imagine when they happen. If I had known 10, 15, even 20 years ago what I know now... it's really unimaginable.
I know it doesn't really serve much purpose beyond my own venting of feelings, my own personal coffee time chat with the infinite. I hope that somewhere out there my words may have touched someone or changed his/her life for some positive betterment. If I have, let me know... I'd love to hear from you. Thank you all for your time. This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.
Peace. Love. Respect. Patience. Empathy. Honesty. Love.
(yeah I know I wrote love twice, but it REALLY IS THAT IMPORTANT!!!)

American Conservatism

Once we recognize that Libertarianism is essentially neo-feudalism, and that it is now the dominant conservative philosophy of the Republica...
