The important things

Wondering if your thoughts have any value? Of course you could go on second guessing if your thoughts do, but wait, its that internal dialog that keeps you wondering, guessing what others might think of you. What you say is only partly what your trying to get out there. Some of us are just not word-smiths and fail misserebly when we try to articulate our feelings or get 'it ' across to others. We'll think of what we should have said once we have personal alone-time to reflect on the discussion, or how we were outdone in our debating skills. Some people should be Lawyers, others mabe we should just be content to live quiet lives.Thing is, theres so many injustices in everyday life that to stay quiet.....well theres just no way to hold it all in. And if your dealing with an agressive personality, friend or foe, well generally out of courtesy, allow them to dominate the conversation. Being a 'Boomer', we were taught respect for elders foremost and then to be kind to others feelings, but it seems to do that often-times puts us at a disadvantage. Lately I'v come to see that most people have some agenda or other, and knowingly or un-knowingly move in that dirrection. It's realizing that what you say to others dosn't just stop with your conversation, instead weaves through thoughts, attitudes and forms a basis of manipulating events to their benefit. We dont have to 'win' in any conversations, simply participate, it's been said that theres no need to take an idiot (contrarian) with you, simply get one at your destination. All of us at one time or another have epifanys, and take solace in the notion of the profound meaning of our revelation. There is worth in the least of us, just as there is for those who have risen up the popularity scale, but as popularity goes, it's all vanity in the end as we age. This is the first of hopefully many posts as I endevor to establish this site. I'll be looking forward to hearing from one and all.
