Life Begins When You Accept Your Fate

The scientist purported that there aint no purpose
And the theologian told me that its all been designed
And Im trying to maintain objectivity
The world wont illuminate what really matters
And Im an imperfect moral meaning extractor
Processing the complexity
Born of the earth (are we blind? )
We werent given a choice (theres no way)
What about free will? (what we have)
Do we have a voice? (is shattered faith)
See them run in place (here and now)
In the human rat race (no reward)
So much dead weight (no debate) to our disgrace (accept your fate)
Life begins when you accept your fate
Paralysis from forces raging out of control until
My confidence and will are at an all-time low
Just directionless wandering
Eternal life, eternal truth, eternal secrets
Isolated hopes and hypotheses just
Leave me feeling so hungry
Born of the earth (are we blind? )
We werent given a choice (theres no way)
What about free will? (what we have)
Do we have a voice? (is shattered faith)
See them run in place (here and now)
In the human rat race (no reward)
So much dead weight (no debate) to our disgrace (accept your fate)
Life begins when you accept your fate
Right or wrong,
The main criterion is what you do and not what you say
The roads you take, the friends you make and those you throw away
The method is a simple synthesis of the past and present state
You never lose if the path you choose is one you can easily navigate
I had a dream, light and carefree
But now theres doubt and gravity
But I wont run in place (are we blind? ) in the human rat race (theres no way)
I can set the pace (what we have) and accept my fate (is shattered faith)
Shattered faith (here and now)
Shattered faith (no reward)
The part of me (no debate) I cant erase (accept your fate)

Freewill - A Definition

Freewill is the illusion that you control your destiny.

Crisis Era - Sequel Available Soon!

Decades from now, history books will define the period of 2006-2014 as a crisis period where severe economic problems and perilous global geopolitical tension permeated with unbounded ferocity.

But a Test

From henceforth, I resolve to never let others' irrationally accusatory behavior spark a defensive or retaliatory response. I will respond to such acrimony with calm and indifferent apathy -- and a smile.

Thoughts Carve Perception

From henceforth, I will make a continuous effort to refine all thoughts and thinking to terms of undefined possibility. Worry and doubt will shrivel and starve and I will begin to see paths where none were unapparent before.

Possibility

"Every problem, dilemma and dead end we find ourselves facing in life, only appears insolvable inside a particular frame of mind or point of view. We must learn to break through the barriers of our assumptions."

- From the book, The Art of Possibility

Magnet for Pessimism?

I can't escape the sense that our nation's economic foundation is rotting beneath us. I find it hard to deny the feeling of impending crisis that is beginning to resonate with undeniable clarity. The message is gradually organizing itself in my brain like pieces to a puzzle. Its all fitting together reinforcing a sense of impending catastrophe.

I feel like a minority, but I'd rather be a realistic pessimist than an ignorant optimist.
