For some reason this piece of rhetoric never gets old to me; "Just like you can't give someone a million dollars if you don't have it or feed all of Africa if you yourself are starving, you can't help anyone until you've helped yourself. I disagree w/ you though, even though its kinda hard after i just watched zeitgeist twice. Pessimism is inexcusable.

Expectation truly is the root cause for so many negative things. Thanks for the comment Raf,

She never expected anything from anyone. If her friends were flaky or someone made a bad decision it didn't affect her at all. It leads to better relationships with people, and once you stop projecting expectations on other people life gets a lot easier. I actually learned that from a girl I dated once.

To strive for perfection is to live up to what makes us human. That means if we accept things as they are and take zero initiative to improve ourselves and everything around us, we're basically slapping humanity in the face. What we need doesn't exist in the world outside of us; it exists in the world within us. The world outside of us needs what exists within us. And only we can bring it out. Thanks Phonz,

It is incredible how even imperfect we are, we'd still try to reach for the what we think is perfect. We all fall short in something and it takes the wiser of people to grasp, in the most deeply-convicting way, a hold of that Truth. As I like to state, our hearts need to be filled with something not of this world, but eternal. What one person would think what that eternal thing is is....well... up to the religion they believe. But I'm right along with you, we can expect this world to have nothing for us. Peace man! Phonz Hey bro,
