Thoughts of Truth

At the end of everything, we remember the important things, the gist of it.

Do you consider yourself a writer if you haven't been published?

Certainly, you don't need to be published to be a writer. Of course it's a great accomplishment for a writer, but I consider myself successful as a writer if I am just able to write and finish a story and share it with family and friends.

"If people merely write books so they can make money and there's no passion in the words, few will buy the book. Words MUST take the reader SOMEWHERE...either to solve a "problem" or to educate or to entertain. If there is no reason in something, there is no purpose. To do without reason, is to be ignorant.
The more you can draw the reader into what is being said, the longer you can hold them.
The idea of ANY good read is to hook the reader (and keep hooking them throughout) Leave them with a cliff hanger of some sort at the end of each section/chapter and tie it all together at the end.
Interesting (hold their attention) public speakers make the best writers. We're merely story tellers...whether it's a history or science lesson or a mystery thriller, it's all about sustaining interest."

Do it right before it does you wrong...

People don't know how to stay together. Faithfulness is like a lost art, especially when people have multiple sex partners throughout their lifetimes. People make so many promises willy nilly and are even quicker to break them making it hard to trust in anyone. People break up with each other all the time and everywhere, it's quite devastating to see couples with so much potential just give up. And then when they decide to come back around, it's usually too late. Moving on from a person you truly loved is hard, and maybe it's hard for a reason. People seem to easily forget that compatibility is something you create. If you want your relationship to be better then you have to work to make it better. Nothing is going to magically be healthy and successful. Same thing with getting fit, if you want to lose 10 pounds you have to work for it. And then it's about consistency and people seem to forget that as well; you can't just eat healthy for a month and then give up and expect to still be healthy. You can't start off a relationship with good communication and then let your laziness take over because you somehow think you don't have to fight for something you already have. Not even bothering to communicate about issues that may arise in the relationship because you somehow think they will just magically solve themselves and then unhappiness slowly begins to set in. Before you know it, the relationship is slowly destructing. And you blow up at each other about shit that you failed to bring up earlier and communicate about before it became such an issue. And then you begin to consider leaving each other. Everyone has differences, it's how you manage those differences. There's plenty of Christian/Atheist couples and look how differing those viewpoints are. Oftentimes, people think separation is a solution. When really it's only a way out and avoiding having to deal with something. You choose your poison; the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Many people choose the easy way out, which is just simply leaving because they see it as an escape from the dark hole they've dug themselves in. They choose to just leave permanently rather than just giving themselves time and space if that's what they need. And "irreconcilable" is an excuse for not having to deal with issues, they see it as too much hard work and not worth it. But if you truly love someone, it should be worth it. And you should never stop the fight to make things right. Don't give up on the ones you love, your love and support may be just what they need to make a complete turn-around. Regret is such a bitter feeling that never goes away, it haunts you to your grave. And why would you want to lay on your death bed with any regrets?

Truth is reality, interpret it properly (you have the capability and resources).

Something that is generally true exists independently.  Meaning, it's not decided upon by one person's feelings (opinions) it is simply acknowledged to be a certain way because it just is: reality. A burned down house is a burned down house. These are viewed as characteristics, features that make something distinguishable. This is very crucial for effective communication, or else when a person tried to give directions or make a police report it wouldn't have validity. This is why when making a police report it must be unbiased. Objectivity is being able to put your feelings and bias to the side and it is definitely possible; however a lot of people don't bother or are too ignorant to do so. This is why a lot of things are subjective, because people seem to focus more on their feelings than the facts. This world needs less chaos and conflict and more peace and unity. It needs organization. But humans are flawed creatures and lack balance. Therefore a lot of things are unfortunately going downhill. If people would decide on what is ultimately right, and strive towards balance and focus on facts rather than feelings I believe only then objectivity would be achieved. People seem to forget the meanings of these words though; objectivity is mainly a word that reinforces the separation of feelings from facts and the capability to make the most rational decision. It is a decision making tactic and should be used to form and justify feelings because without the knowledge on something it's kind of foolish to form an opinion (develop personal feelings). People get really defensive against the word "objective" because they feel like people are trying to devalue their subjectivity when that is not the case; rather we are trying to enlighten it with knowledge so that you can have a more well-rounded valid view. For example, if you're going to choose to consume a food high in cholesterol at least know it's bad for your health in high quantities. However, you could still choose to like and consume the food. That is your personal decision. Just be well informed and know what you're doing and what exactly you're dealing with so that you can make the best decision; the ideal decision. Proper ideals would include: healthy diet, good hygiene, etc. You cannot refute objectivity, because you are disregarding truth (which is independently existent). You can't make an absolute statement saying there is no absolutes because you would just sound ignorant like my ex-girlfriend, and you are only proving the existence of absolutes by doing so. Mathematics, laws of physics and gravity; these are objective absolutes (they are independently true and existent). We are merely acknowledging them and accepting. There is no point in argument. Only acceptance. So basically the most important thing is to just live as well informed as possible and make the best rational decisions for your health and happiness (the two general human priorities). Also balance, this is part of the laws of physics and gravity, and it is what keeps things in order; find objectivity (as to say knowledge/evidence) in this and strive towards it.Like building a Jenga tower; the main objective is to keep it balanced so that it doesn't tip over. And of course imbalance causes destruction, which our world is a good example of unfortunately.

Objective characteristics, things that exist independently and are independently true. They are not co-existent they are self-existent. This is crucial for effective communication or else no one would know what you would be referring to. And there would be no valid form of identification. But with the knowledge of objective characteristics we can describe and identify things legitimately. For example, if you name a cat "Short Ears" because he has small stubby ears and if this characteristic wasn't independently true, no one would understand what you meant and it wouldn't make sense. However, obviously anyone who could acknowledge his ears would understand.

A general truth is a statement of fact regarding something that is measurable, demonstrable, and real.
  
General truths: Our bodies are made mainly of water. All integers are in the real number set. Etc.  
Specific truths: My dog has four legs. Your car can't fly. Etc.

The term 'truth' in this context is defined as the 'general agreement' or consensus of those making the determination of validity, however, it does not require unanimous agreement to be considered a statement of truth.

Laws of Attraction

Thought and emotion forms have energy, power, and a life of their own. They stream out of every human being like a toy bubble blower. Those who are sensitive can not only feel them, but can see and determine their nature. Most call this "intuition"; the same mechanism is why some feel lower vibrational thought/emotion forms as if something foreboding/negative is about to happen. What happens is that this energy hits your seven primary energy centers in varying degrees (aka "chakras"). 

The way the body expresses love is also an interesting phenomenon. A person's pupils dilate when attraction is present. Pupil dilation: To start off with pupil dilation can indicate liking, interest, attraction or….. intense fear. (we’ll leave out intense fear for another segment). This is due to the sudden changes in body chemistry and blood circulation. For example: some people experience cold fingers and some people get a shaky hand. This is blood shifting to the parts of the body where it is required and this causes various effects in the body not just pupil dilation. Breasts expand and you produce more pheromones. etc.

I'll elaborate. Pupillary dilation is called mydriasis and is mediated by the sympathetic component of the nervous system. The sympathetic output is elicited by anything that causes arousal -- fear, emotion, surprise, etc. So, seeing someone you're attracted to clearly fits in this category, and results in sympathetic activation, which causes mydriasis of the pupils.

The sympathetic system is also responsible for the other physiological manifestations of attraction, such as increased heart rate, nervousness, increased respiratory rate, etc.
 
Our pupils dilate and grow when we see someone we are attracted to. Why? Because our eyes enlarge to take more of this person in. This is an unconscious occurrence which we cannot physiologically control. The fun part about this is you are able to tell if someone is interested in you by observing their pupils – do they expand or contract? Contracting would not be good as it indicates intense dislike. Of course, you need to take the environment into account as well. If you are standing in the sun it may be difficult for the physiological response of pupil dilation to occur. On the flip side, if you are standing in a dark area, pupils will automatically contract, even if there is no liking involved. In addition, remember that some people will have larger or smaller pupils by nature.  

Psychological experiments have been conducted by touching (i.e. by drawing to make it appear bigger/dilated) a persons pupils alone and presenting the photos to people of the opposite sex. Consistently they had picked out those whose pupils had been touched to appear dilated as more attractive without knowing why. This is one of the subliminal responses that attracts you to people (sometimes of the same sex also).

Dark restaurants induce romance because the dim lights encourage the larger pupils making people more attracted to one another.

The fun part about this is that most people do not consciously understand pupil response so you are now one up on a great deal of the population.

Studies done indicate as pupil size increases so does attractiveness. For example: models on magazine covers normally have their pupils doctored to give them larger pupils because advertisers know this sells more magazines. Likewise, if pupils appear smaller, it decreases the attractiveness.

Interesting tidbit: During the middle ages, women often used a plant extract called Belladonna (Italian for "beautiful lady") To give themselves bigger pupils. They would put drops of the extract into their eyes in order to look more attractive to men - and it worked. The problem was Belladonna was poisonous so the women used Belladonna to look beautiful….. and they did….. and then they would die.

Okay, so important points to keep in mind, dilation works in an "unconscious" fashion. Individuals with enlarged pupils are subconsciously seen as attractive, warm, friendly, conscientious people.

Sure we can all fit into each others holes, but it's hard to find someone who completes you so well...

People seem to ponder the word soul mate and never give credit to the actual meaning itself. And so it is never truly valued or appreciate the way it should be when you find the person that fits that meaning. Songs and movies have turned it into somewhat of a cheesy cliche sort of thing and since monogamy is not realistic and relationships usually always end in chaos it has proved to be just that. True love and loyal friends are two of the hardest things to find. Which is why it should be valued more, in the correct way. A true deep connection should be valued and appreciated and regarded in a realistic way; therefore being aware that (although the connection has been established) it will not be easy to stick together through thick and thin. And you will encounter obstacles. It's enough to know that happiness comes in small moments, so be prepared to fight for this love. And don't take something that doesn't come easily and can't be replaced, for granted. Because this is the mistake people make when they consider the term life partner, they figure that if they were able to make a wonderful connection with one person, why not with someone else? Disregarding how unlikely the whole thing was in the first place and how lucky they've been. Soul mate is finding a person who can connect with you on such a deep emotional and spiritual level, that nothing else could compare. A love that establishes itself as supreme because this person would do anything for you and has been there for you when no one else was and continues to persevere and stay by your side. They have claimed their rightful spot and no one can take that from them, and even if they did it would never be the same. And it's something that a lot of people unfortunately never find. Because humans are inherently selfish creatures and monogamy is not realistic. It is not likely for someone to remain with just one person throughout their whole life, that would be extreme dedication and something that humans don't usually offer in the relationship department. Divorce rates are getting higher and aside from whether a couple stays together or not, they will have most likely already had previous lovers. The average person has an average of 5 sexual partners in a lifetime. What pisses me off is that I am the exception in so many ways for the person I love and she failed to ever realize. I have immense perseverance and dedication, I am extremely loyal, and I can truly give the word soul mate meaning again because I will make you believe, I will show you. This person had all of the impossibilities in me; we had a monogamous relationship, she was my first everything and I wanted her to be my only everything. See, that's where "the one" comes into play. It's not like it's the only person you could date and fuck and whatever, I mean sure there's lots of people who would be willing to do those things with me, people who would be honored; but see that's easy to find. It's easy to find sexual partners, it's easy to find people who fit into your holes, and can tell you sweet things. But it's extremely hard to find a person who will actually follow through with what they say; someone sincere and loyal, someone who truly gives a shit about you, and would never leave your side. Someone who you can open up with and trust in and connect with on such a deep level. That's where "the one" applies, because it's that one person you find that sometimes makes you think was meant to be because the universe does work in mysterious ways and good things gravitate towards each other, it's scientific. And it's the one person that you choose to be with. It's the person that you choose to be worth putting up with all the bull crap for because, realistically, there will be fights and drama and bullshit. It's the one person you choose to be worth fighting for, because they are. And they are the only one for you in so many ways that no one else could compare, and they are the only one you will be with because you decide to be faithful and loyal and quite frankly don't need anyone else.
