No Foollish Optimism

Journal Entry: Sat Feb 10, 2007, 4:08 AM
  • Mood: Yearning
  • Listening to: singing birds
  • Reading: Great year-diary of 2005 by Michal Viewegh
  • Watching: Devil wears Prada, Little Miss Sunshine
  • Eating: Fruit saladyoghurt with müsli, bloody orange
  • Drinking: Camomile tea-how simple :D
I opened the window today and I heard the birds singing... Sun is shining. Even itīs unbelievable, it happens. Itīs 10th February, itīs supossed to be freezing. But supposed things arenīt happening always.

Last two years were especially strange. I though this new one must be much better. I thought, when something bad happens there must be something good comming on. And appropriatelly-when something good happens, be sure to get a stroke right to your nose very soon after that to put back your feet on the ground... According to it, next two years (including this one) should be great. And I am asking-really? I learned something. Thereīs no justice, no sharing bad and good exactly 50:50... Crime is not always followed with punishment and Good acts are not always followed with a awards and thanks...

Even Iīve gone through some really naughty and bad things, Iīve heard many awful words when I tried to did my best, when I was on the edge of all my powers, lost and hopeless I always kept my head up so no one noticed my inner feelings and though Iīm invicible and strong. Itīs always better to keep your feet on the ground. Importance of life in something different than just in success and fame. Wish you all to find the meaning of your life.

Open the window and listen a while... Maybe thereīs a bird singing somewhere near... And if not, believe, you will hear it someday. After two years wading in half meter of snow must come a time when you pass through free...

I happened to see your journal as I was writing a thank you note. You are right. There does seem to be no justice. Yet one thing I can see that you have received that others have not. You have gained a real strength within yourself that only comes from facing these times and working through them. It may not be as evident to you now, but I assure you it is true.

I don't know what you have been through and I don't need to, but know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

You wrote "Importance of life in something different than just in success and fame." To me importance of life is not how we are treated, but how we treat others and how true we are to ourselves. You seem to be doing that well. success cannot be measured in money and material things. Real success is only measured in faithfulness to what we believe. :Hug: :cling:

Thank you very much friend. You wrote it really nice. I see that nothing can be planned. We dream, we paint our future in the brightest colours but... ...but we are just pieces of a big machine that goes round and sometimes looses itīs parts. We can do our best (what can-we must do our best) but the result is in hands of higher powers and someone calls those powers as the God, the nature, the destiny... I call them destiny. The only question thatīs been almost always on my mind is: Can we change our destiny? This question provokes me and never let me to stop fighting, never give up.

If our lives are predetermined or predestined, I think life is hopeless, and our will is removed.
I believe there are directions or channels in which we move. As you have said, "We dream, we paint our future in the brightest colours but... ...but we are just pieces of a big machine that goes round and sometimes looses itīs parts". Yet we do have choices of directions we go. An example is that you and I have chosen to submit art here. If we had not, we would not be able to have this exchange. Considering the distance between where we live, we would probably never have encountered each other. Yet because of the choices we each made we can each become a better person for it.
If only one had chosen to be at DA, we would still have not been able to converse, yet the choice was made by someone else (you or me). Yet there would be others to write with and learn and grow even if a little differently.
Myself, i am glad you are here. :)
