Walking the talk

It feels good to write. It is a way of releasing the stress or pressure. It helps in helping someone kick back and relax. There are many reasons why people write. Maybe to express their emotions, or maybe because they need to get their thoughts on paper. As for me, i like writing because it feels good to express my thoughts, however random and sponanteous they may be, on paper.(virutal or real)

There once was a man
Who had a white coat

He wore it everyday
Even when it snowed

No matter where he went
No matter where he'd go

He would always where that coat
He would never let it go

One day while walking
down a path less traveled

He stumbled upon a man
Who had been beaten to a pulp

This man seemed desperate
This man was in need

And as our friend came walking
His heart was full of empathy

He took off his coat
laid it gently around the man

And as the man said, "Thank you"
He was placed upon a shoulder

Our man walked quickly
but without stumble or trip

He walked and he walked
Until he came to 'Pine Crick'

And there he laid the man
His coat still wrapped around him

On the place where he would stay
Til "heaven" came and found him

A few years later
the man was walking

Down a dreary path
That had been long forgotten

And as he walked
He saw a woman lying down

She said,"Sir, will you help me?"

And he stopped and thought
About the time his life was saved

How a man came and gave him
The coat that he now gave

To the woman that was crying
For she knew she was saved

And as this story
Comes to a close

There is no moral
No rule to follow

Except that when you are called
You should be eager to follow

Instinct can be defined as something that you are born with to ensure your own survival. Having instincts is a good thing. It allows flexibility. It allows for room to grow because things change. Every moment is different from the one before it and the one after. No two snowflakes are the same. This just goes to show that everyone is different, unique, and has their own definition. I wonder why people try to conform, then, to the pattern of this world. That pattern is ambiguous and every-changing. It does not keep its shape for long. And yet, we want to be defined by our surroundings...Okay. Hold on a minute. I do not think you are understanding what I am trying to say here. Or I might not be communicating it with clarity...Okay, so what i am trying to say is that people want to be like everyone else, when, everyone else is completely different from the person right next to them. Being normal can be, and is, defined by each individual. Now, when people "agree" on something, that becomes the "norm" and is what people use to define themselves. From the clothes we wear, to the food we eat, to the places we go, we are looking for the definition that best illustrates who we want to be and who we "are." We are just trying to fit in with everyone so that we do not look like some oddball. There is an outcast in every culture and no one wants to be associated with the outcasts, the weirdys, or the stinky people. Being different is "wrong" in our culture and yet everyone is trying to fit in by being their own self, an individual. It is quite ironic, do you not think?
Okay. I am done. I do not know why i felt i needed to say those things. I guess i was just in the mood or something. Catch ya later.
