Strength & beauty are the blessings of youth;
Temperance, however, is the flower of old age.
Democritus
So much of lifeβs pleasures have to be forced upon us to learn. Muscles only become stronger by forcing them to extend, from where they are, to where they could be, and can only be achieved by overextending and working beyond normal. Inner peace can only be achieved by force. Yes, one must work at this as an individual, not look for it in the food we eat, and not always by those around us.
Senator Kennedy said that if President Trump were to pass a bill, forcing us to breath, some would hold their breaths. Such wisdom, such truth, is only accepted when listening to him. Those that do not like him, or do not want to hear what others may say, is only because we are afraid to stretch ones thinking past personalities, and what we want to know.
I have said several times in the past that many overlook the chicken, while looking for the egg. Not because I said it but because I believe it to be true. One must force themselves to reach out for knowledge and wisdom, stop trying to find the answers in a closet. Hang what you know on one hanger and make sure there is an empty hanger for the next thoughts.
Being open to new people, new thoughts should be continually part of our daily diet. I am excited today, because I just finished writing the Love Triangle, and I feel I have achieved an enter goal by completing another book. Not that this is important to you, the reader, but important, that I finished one more personal goal.
I like to show examples of this whenever I try to explain something. Now as I write. I think back to the day, I invented a washing machine that would take oil and grease out of contaminated soil. The company was named. S.C.C.A. (Soil Washing Company of America) I had invested over a million dollars building this machine. The U.S.A. β EPA (Environmental Protective Agency) had built one in Eddison New Jersey and invited me to come explain how I had accomplished this, they said except for them, which had invested over six million dollars no one in the United States had done this and my machine outperformed theirs.
I could not market this machine, which accomplished what was needed, and what worked, because I was an unknown and no one cared to give me an opportunity of using it. I ended up dismantling and scrapping it. Why? Because I was not a big name that could possibly accomplish something of this nature. I once got a call from BechtelΒ Construction Company, wanting me to try and invent a machine to clean radiation out of the soil. Here is the largest construction company in the world calling me. When ask who was going to pay for this? They said, I paid the for the last one, and they wanted me to pay for this one. Hello Mom, I have a fool on the phone, I thought to myself. Their thoughts were, if I could figure out what others could not see, perhaps I could do it again.
My point? What I write today is like the other projects I have accomplished in this world. No one cares to read, because I am no one with a big name or could possibly know something. But I still give my thoughts, as I have always done, in the past, and will no doubt do it in the future. Why? I just gota do what I do, to find that inner peace, I speak of.
