Refracting Reflections

Hello.

This is a post from some one whom, you may, or may not, personally know. Why now, if you did not know who I am, would you be reading this? To what point do you come through here and decide that this is what you want to read? How did you find this? The first time. How did you find this?

Can you even remember?

Do you want to even try?

Society today has us so focused on the new, on the dazzling. Splendor is shoved in our faces, 'til we no longer see it, and the magnifience of the world and it's accompaniment is lost on our souls. Do you even know how to walk a path that is not made of gravel? Make cookies, and cakes, and dips, and meatloaf and other such things? From Scratch? Will you ever dare try? Pre-made. Pre-cooked. Pre-packaged. Pre-thought. Every action and reaction that you make is held and measured. Is it like the factory made things? No? Well no good then. It was only her first try? Well maybe she better stop, and just buy it like the rest. She wants to learn? Take a course, study some books. Actually talk to people with experience? The person you approach will be astonished. Astounded.

Think for yourself?

Prehaps the greatest sin of all from society's point of view.

Why do we conform?

Disappointment.

Fear of disappointment. Of whom? My brother posted a quote recently, I can't remember how it goes, but it's a good one. You should check it out.
