Oct. 20th, 2006 01:34 pmI had chinese food for lunch today and the fortune cookie said, "Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it." This is my lesson for the week. Conflict, internal or external, is usually synonymous with growth for me, I just need to learn to manage it better internally so, when it's an external thing, I can handle the externals of it better.
Sometimes I envy people who live in the top inch of life. Once in a while I wish for 24 hours where I can be like 'everyone else'. I wish I could turn down the chatter of my internal analyzer; I would have a lot less conflict in my life.
But also a lot less growth.
It's a trade off that, when I lie awake at night contemplating the geometry and geography of my life, I'm willing to make.
Peace out, word to you mother and all that stuff.
