Jimmy's tangled up world

We all feel that we cannot change the world alone, but as free thinking people we can express our intentions to not live in a world where some humans have, in fact, been reduced to nothing more than mere vessels of pain. We do not have to be victimized by the ugliness in the world any longer. An incubus of ignorance, fear, hunger, oppression and intolerance haunts large regions of the world, and we must have no delusions that we are immune. We must refuse to forget that we too are human, that we too are frail, that we all are subject to such miseries, and in time, we shall all be subject to frailty and suffering.

Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go 

Ernest Hemingway

We don’t know the power that we have

When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.

Ten years from now, make sure you can say that you chose your life, you didn’t settle for it.

About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won’t like you at all.

You have to accept that sometimes that’s how things happen in this world. People’s opinions, their feelings, they go one way, then the other. It just so happens you grew up at a certain point in this process.

Ernest Hemingway

Always show kindness and love to others. Your words might be filling the empty places in someone’s heart.

Ernest Hemingway 

You have to learn to get up from the table when love is no longer being served.

“When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.”

YOU ARE SO BLESSED If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who won’t survive the week… If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 20 million people around the world… If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world… If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world… If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy… If your parents are still married and alive, you are very rare, especially in todays society. If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not… If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer God’s healing touch… If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all…

“I don’t know why it is that I have always been happier thinking of somewhere I have been or wanted to go, than where I am at the time. I find it difficult to be happy in the present.”

Loneliness as a situation can be corrected, but as a state of mind it is an incurable illness.

When the day is over, let it go. Don’t dwell on what you could’ve or should’ve done. Tomorrow is another day and another chance.

Deep in my heart I know I am a loner. I have tried to blend in with the world and be sociable, but the more people I meet the more disappointed I am. So, I’ve learned to enjoy myself, my family, and a few good friends.

There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it
