Corners and Mirrors

Enough of this introspective stuff I promise, just that a funny thing happened yesterday, being the culmination of 5 days of events and suddenly you turn a corner and bite the bullet.

I've always lived or tried to live by my conscience, I have always put others first and have always sacrificed own interest for the sake of others, even those who acutely dislike me have to admit this and all I've asked for is either gratitude or at best to be left alone in peace, for that is who I am. No one is a greater critic of EK than EK, so I would say to the critics shut up I got there first, wait your turn.

I'm no saint but will say proudly that I live my life with love in my heart and that's all I have to offer this world, I may be an idiot, but no one is forced to associate with me, I am proud of my place on earth and hold my head up high proud of all I've achieved and with no excuses for all I've failed to achieve, because in all honesty it wasn't mine to acquire or keep. There are enough fellow "idiots" on this earth for me to commune with. Life should never have to be a constant battle, there are those who are not happy unless there is a state of attrition, unless they can dominate others and display a palpable arrogance based on some delusional fantasy, well take solace in the fact that you are not alone, history is replete with people with a similar mindset- remember the two World wars?

In addition, vengeful spite and aggro if directed against an adversary may be fair in an agreed theatre of war but is criminal to innocents who suffer in the war of attrition.

I am proud of who I am, very much so and greatly value those close to me, I cannot change who I am and do not wish to, I am an extremely fortunate man and the only lesson I have to offer is that we all have a right to our place on earth and let no one tell you otherwise.

Anyone who seeks to hurt another destroys his own soul, where I have caused hurt by virtue of my own imperfections, I have always tried to make amends by expressing regret an dasking forgiveness- for whether we like it or not, there will always be times we will hurt others, anyone who knows me will tell you that even where I am not guilty of wrong, I always try and be the one to say sorry, because life is too short to prolong hurt and not because I am otherwise weak. Anyone who you show love and who sullies it in any way describable has the problem not you, move on enjoy life thats what its there for.
