the problem with blogs and texts. They have no personality and I miss the phone. When you’re on the phone with someone, they notice when you’re pissed off. Because your voice really says so, you speak very quickly and with an angry tone. Say into a phone I am so pissed off at this girl she drives me crazy! You know darn well that I’m mad at someone and they drive me crazy. Now let’s put it in a text- I am so pissed off at this girl and she drives me crazy! How do you really know I’m pissed off? There’s no inflection in my voice it is simply a text. Maybe I’m just annoyed with her it doesn’t necessarily mean I’m pissed off. I can say on the phone I struggle so much with my disease of multiple sclerosis! Now let’s say I’m on the phone and I am crying I think you’ll be pretty sure I’m having a bad multiple sclerosis day. Now let’s put it in the blog- I am struggling so much with my disease of multiple sclerosis! My blog is very often about multiple sclerosis so you don’t really know how bad my day is other than I’m having another day with multiple sclerosis. My friends do still call me on the phone. But we are a dying generation. I think it is much easier to get my point across in a poem than blog or a text. We today live in a world where child can write an English essay and write LOL and this is acceptable. I know the world is changing but there are some things that should not change. Cursive handwriting for example is another. There’s nothing like a personal signature it’s personalized like our fingerprint. And when we take it away we can forge anyone’s signature. I’m not saying I don’t love the modern world. I’m just saying I think we could have invested our time and a lot more humanitarian things than cell phones and computers. That’s just my opinion and like I said I’m a Dying breed, , peace and love Laurelin
Today is a great day
Today is a great day
I’m one more day closer to getting stem cells. Today is a great day, because I have a beautiful daughter and loving husband who takes care of me. Today is a great day because it’s still Green in my backyard and the wind is blowing the giant maple tree beautifully. I fell down twice today, I didn’t hurt myself but I found myself laughing inside; and thought; today is a great day. I did my daily walk to the front door and back to my bedroom to keep my muscles moving and tripped once. I picked myself up and said today is a great day I walked as far as I did. I tried to fold the laundry but I was at an odd angle and I couldn’t do much. I told myself I’m grateful for the laundry I did fold, and today is a great day. My nerve pain is pretty bad today. but pain can only make us stronger, and lets us know that we are alive and I said to myself today is a great day. Now I am watching TV as I write this blog, just taking a break and being comfortable and thinking how much of a great day it is to be able to take a break. I am excited to go to sleep and wake up tomorrow knowing that tomorrow will be an even greater day. Because today was certainly a great day.
Allegory of a circle
Plato’s allegory of the cave
Allegory of a circle
- I wish I knew how to write like Plato’s allegory of the cave. But I do not, unfortunately. I only know how to speak the truth. The truth is I don’t have any idea. Any idea of what? – You ask; I wish I had an answer for you. I do not. I don’t, however, rely on other people’s ideas of an answer. If only I knew the question, then I could give you an answer. Is the question why are we here? Is the question why am I here? Is the question are emotions real? I do not feel your pain. I do not fear you or anything. For I am not in your head. I do not know how to express that in an allegory, I wish I did. I’m not even sure if emotions exist anymore. If I’m the only one that feels them, how do I know they are real? Do you know if they are real? If you do,why do you? How do you know? Because you have emotions? I don’t know for sure that you have the same ones as me. I do not know how to make that an allegory. I will however make a comparison. I am to you as you are to us.Us Is to you and you I must Trust, Akita . Everything in life gets their return. Now it is my time in the circle the Falconer can hear the falcon
Grateful
What are you grateful for today?
What are you grateful for today? Everyone has something to be grateful for every day. I bet you can even think of more than one thing,more than five things, maybe even more than ten things. You feel better when you’re grateful, you just do. Think of something you’re grateful for today. Then take three deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. I promise that afterwards you will feel better. You might not even notice, or know why you feel better you just will. Sometimes you just don’t feel like being grateful for anything. So be grateful for things like flushing toilets. Be grateful for things like refrigerators. Be grateful for things like light and electricity. If you don’t want to be grateful for Creature Comforts, than be grateful that you are you. Be grateful that you are breathing. Be grateful that you have the ability to think. Be grateful that you have the ability to be grateful or not be grateful. Just always be grateful. It’s a good way to go through your day. Peace and love Laurelin
