Squaring With Failure

Sometimes it seems that we get caught up in what we do. And it is this very integral concept which drives much of our action. Although it seems that too much is lost when we speak out of turn or throw ourselves inexplicably at one another, regretting our actions too soon after, it would be wise to stand back at this point and re-evaluate our perspective. Is it so bad that you've experienced? Is it so bad that you cannot go back and change who you are or what you know you are going to become in the next moment? It is an interesting notion that perhaps when one ignores the consequences of an action, especially for the fulfillment of one's hopes and dreams, an image burned so indestructibly in one's mind, that an understanding of such failure becomes evident. It may just be that we are all in some ways seeking the one want which we cannot have; furthermore it seems that we do not even know what that is. We can clearly see now that that desire is the motivation to move forward, to experience, to fail. It is also then apparent that a human must fail at the highest; that is if they wish to understand and to move forward.

- I will always be here for those who are troubled by their failing aspirations. Attempting to have them enjoy the troughs as well as the crests. At the very least a post where they may indulge in expressing anything without the threat of persecution.
