Archangel's Grace

Some times it's not about making the right decisions, but rather remembering the decisions you made.

The process of thinking is enough to count as writing them down.
This might be an extension of my approach to other things.
Human beings are amazing creatures that are able to do so many great things during their lifetimes. So why is it that everyone feels that it is all right to rely on oral communication. Speaking only comprises about 7% of all communication. What happened to facial expression and body language.
Why do people immediately take pains to assist people who run off their mouth at the signs of stress and tension, yet simply ignore those who keep a careful composition. Are they rewarding people for being weak? Is this is due to our innate need to have attention? It's weak, simple and an eventual exploitation of the natural good will of people. The constant melodrama is hardly amusing.

Do intentions override methods, which override results?

Is the whole of the matter presented in the appearance.
Can you trust yourself to read someone from their eyes.
Would you trust the words that you hear.
Would you believe all the information that was so casually given to you.
You see only what you want to see.
You are blind.
You are deaf.
You are slave to the world with no thought.

I don't pity you.
I don't hate you.
You're just a product.
Something that tests tolerance.
Is that your only function?

I'm weary of covering all sides, all flanks, all angles.
For it seems a lapse always invites opportune problems.
This body bleeds, but is purely flesh.
Elegance even when dancing with death.

No way losing my way, why are you drifting away?
I don’t want to get hurt, but what will we do with my love struck heart?
- Shock - Beast

I watched over it, your love, the long farewell
Rather than always getting hurt, this is better
Look at me carefully. It’s because I don’t like you crying
Being hurt is tiring, yeah, every time I see you like that
Be mine. I love you, okay? I worry about you, okay?
- Be Mine - Infinite

Somebody, somebody please stop me
How could I be used like this
The girl I had trusted so much, stomping on me
Coldly turns her back
What will you be able to do once you leave me
To you who still hasn’t realized and is leaving
I’ll give you one last chance
Now there’s nothing else that can be done
- Y - MBLAQ

I became used to only looking at you
Lingering around you, I feel like a beggar
I want to let go of everything now, and thats suffocating
And I don’t know what to do
- Before the Dawn - Infinite

Am I that-that easy
Is love that easy to you
Our memories seem easy to you
Is everything easy for you
- Man Man Ha Ni - U-KISS

A voice when there is no sound.
A reflection to an empty room.
A touch of an invisible hand.
The face ripples and shifts.
Was it glass or a mirror?
Are you okay?

I realised that there isn't much use trying to communicate to someone who isn't on the same wave length as you. It's one of those unavoidable things in life. The goal of effective communication is to convey your message effectively to the other person. If the recipient is not accustomed or adjusted to view things from your perspective, or to at least empathise with that standpoint, then whatever is trying to be conveyed has reduced meaning. It cannot be helped and it would be better off not attempting to talk in these cases.

The intention, the method and the result. SOme people might order it as stated, but in the case of communication, the main point is to deliever the right result. How far removed would one have to be for the intention to be useless for the recipient would not be able to understand the gravity of the situation. it is not good enough to just talk; one must talk with effect. The wise talk because they have something to say, and fools talk because they have to say something.

Cry not for what iw lost but revel in what knowledge has been gained.

So I noticed you forgot the chocolates again,
And the flowers were crushed in the delivery van,
And an allergic reaction from that swordfish isn't really sexy,
And the card was wrinkled,
And we had a few fights,
And the movie was awful,
And the car broke down,
And I got snow in my shoes,
And someone stole your glasses,
And you forgot your wallet.

But...

As long as I can rest my head on your shoulder,
And I can wake up to your face in the morning,
And we can say we'll try again next year, and mean it,
And we can eat microwave ravioli but feast like royalty in love,
And I won't mind taking your jacket when you offer it,
And I can come in and say 'I'm home!' and there's someone to reply,
And I can get a second opinion on how to do the kitchen, because it's yours too,
And we can still kiss and make up,
And we can sit in silence for hours and say 'I'm glad we had this talk,'
I wouldn't spend Valentine's with anyone else.

As my DeviantArt secret valentine 2010.
I tried to find it in my favourites recently but it had disappeared.
The account was deactivated.

Somethings really get on your nerves.

It's fine to reason: why let all these people get your blood up when they're not important, that they probably don't even know that they're doing it.
This I think is glossing over the underlying problem. It is like having a serious puncture wound and the doctor just giving you painkillers. Sure it masks the pain but the wound is still there. Then they treat the wound. The wound is treated but that half-hidden barbed wire fence is still there. So you remove the fence; remove the root of the problem.
Probably not one of the classier analogies out there.

But we live in a tolerant society. A society that is steeped in positive values and optimism. We don't always do things rationally, and we always want some feeling of social justice, regardless of how ineffective things might seem. It would be efficient to remove the problem, the person, entirely. Ignorance is not a defence.

I am sick and tired of having to put up with these people who are abusing the social privileges that we have. It's not just the typical kind of annoying, idiotic, moronic, insensitive, tactless, witless, brainless, shortsighted, irritating, extreme exploitation of human interaction. It is the people who never grow up, who take advantage of keeping a cutesy, sickly sweet, innocent, dumb, naive character. Watching people blatantly get away with things through exploitation. The honest, respectful person would take it straight and either be pardoned by his virtues or penalised due to the nature of his actions.

Because I'm not smiling doesn't mean I'm not acceptable.
It's just difficult when you've got people around you with the mental age of twelve, students who don't give up their seat when they've got prepaid fares, kids that don't let the old lady get on the bus first, and people who don't take into consideration the thoughts of others and if they do and still act that way then it is all the more worse.
I take it seriously because as many idiots as there are out there, there will certainly be those who are negative affected by their behaviour. And with the world becoming a lot safer, we can't just remove the safety labels of everything and let the problem solve itself. We just have to hope that natural selection works and that we won't have to see their potentially doubly irritating progeny infecting the face of the earth.

Pay it forward.
Not only an interesting concept but a great movie.
Having heard it directed to us recently, I realised that it was another way of seeing things.
I had gathered some five and a half years before that a highly positive facade of sorts was being put over living nightmares. This is a gross oversimplification but it is the main point that ties in with this different, 'Pay it forward' concept.

It might be that these are the crucial times where we need to look out for each other and open up to each other. For some it may be a blind jump into the abyss, hoping to be caught by friendly hands, whilst others will find it no different to the way they have been living their life. When the defecation hits the oscillation it sometimes seems that there isn't much that can be done. You want to run away or hide away; just disappear from the spreading pain and anguish that corrupts everyday life. I'm not saying you should open up to every person you happen to meet, but you should consider taking some action. There are friends for a reason, and if you're afraid they will reject you then what worth do they have to be called your friend?

I guess I don't follow my own advice all the time. Especially on these matters. There was a free verse poem that I wrote back in 2006. It might lack the poetic qualities but it certainly still serves as an imprint of the thoughts I had back then: Staying isolated is deadly. So I did reach out a bit this year, and the year before. I mean if I am going to take the positive spin on things I would say:
"Thanks, if I had never met you and we had never gone the way we did the I wouldn't have opened up more. I probably would have stayed a hyper aware, bitter, cynical old man who engages the world at rapier point."

Some people are just fantastic. Respect for real courage and not just the crazy brave.

I'll have an answer soon enough, and then I can finally start to life if I'm lucky.

The only easy day was yesterday.

There does not have to be a reason to everything we do.
But this should not be mistaken for stupidity or arrogance.

Almost cried when watching Hiroshima.
An 8 year old boy was being carried through the streets by the soldier who saved him.
And admist this hell he found his father.
It was strange, that feeling. A ball of emotion that rose up in my chest.
It was fearful perhaps, if it was to pass the point of no return and emerge into the real world.

There does not have to be a reason to everything we do.
But some things must be done with significance

Feels like if the emotions come out then they will never stop.
Communication is 93% non-verbal.

 Phrases that are supposed to be precautionary and testing end up to reveal a great deal more through their lack of solid meaning.

"May I talk to you?"

"Could I grab you sometime to talk?"

"I need to ask you something, do you have a moment?"

"I need to talk to you later, where can we meet?"

"Are you free later? I need to tell you something."

"Stay back for a while, will you?"

"We have something to discuss. Catch me when you're free."

"We need to talk at your convenience."

"Take a walk with me."
