How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

No one will like my answer.

They don’t influence me at all – not in the way I allowed them too.

Looking deeply into external issues means you have no intent on working through internal problems.

It is more common than people want to comfortably admit and is why there are more external issues than we can count.

In fact, because of my out look on life in general, I’ve been considered unrealistic, or I’ve been told my expectations are high. Yet they have been met, and I prefer to view my existence as wonderfully as possible, because I know the opposite is geared towards my destruction.

When I atomized negativity around me, I became it, and began to wither away. While it was a brief stint, it isn’t something I’d like to experience ever again. If the event isn’t caused by myself, and it’s someone else…be that a dictator or a family member…how I feel about it is on me.

Anything past that doesn’t matter. You don’t have to react. Oftentimes, things that are done so that we do react…energy is a currency too. So in turn, I’ve learned that the childlike wonder I lost for about five years…is why I am alive and well –

And can give advice. Perhaps it’s why I seem wise. And in this, it isn’t because my view is unrealistic…it is simply that if it’s viewed other than the way I view it – from my perspective, there is manipulation at hand.

Since that can be true for everyone, I do not soak in what could be a minor mishap, or a misunderstanding. People enjoy reveling in madness, chaos and pain. If people were right minded…as far as we’ve come in time…panic wouldn’t continue to spread.

Time, being the construct that it is, has allowed me to see that my right minded ability to not flock with others has led me on a path illuminated by innate desire to be myself, to grow, and to cherish the life I have. I don’t count time the same as others…I am fortunate for experiences. Perhaps there are a select few who dwell such as I.
