Ψ living today as the man i am becoming Ψ
posted: Sun, Oct 27, 2013 01:17:17 PM
at least doing the best i can. so yes, it has been a frustrating morning, and this is my third attempt to get this rolling. i have be dealing with an issue on my main computer because i did not follow safe-computing practices. i was curious and it came back to bite in in the butt. oh well, back to the future or the past. i finally responded to my missive from hell, and as i reread it yesterday, the emotions and the passion i felt weeks ago, did not reappear. in fact what i felt was pity for my correspondent and a certain unwavering devotion, not to give up on him. we will see where it goes, but i have absolutely no expectations of ever even getting a response. as i know that expectations are premeditated resentments.
so where does that leave me today. well i am going to get as much work done as possible, watch the broncos play with friends, go to a meeting and see where else i might possibly be the man i want to become, in all of my affairs. so unfortunately that means i have to curt this off right here and now and get humping on the stuff i need to do.
it is a great day to be clean!

by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
3) (Those who) possessed the highest benevolence were (always seeking)
to carry it out, and had no need to be doing so. (Those who) possessed
the highest righteousness were (always seeking) to carry it out, and
had need to be so doing.
