Kindling or a spark?

 It has been a long time since I've sat down to write, chaos, trauma, and the everlasting run from one place to another all in hopes to outpace reality. Nothing though, can truly stop you from finding yourself, after all wherever you go/are well—there you are. It has been a difficult start to be as straightforward as possible. My mind, rendered, I cannot make amends with my own sense of survival. Thus I fear I overreact but frankly it hasn't failed me so far. Oh the wicked though, how irrational and reactive. Egos are fragile things, to be shattered by the light of another is poor judgement of your self, a denial of our own godhead. Not my problem, but above all don't make it my problem, I tend to deal with those. Don't we all just get along so much faster if we help one another? Habits are hard to break though, life has not been as kind to some and after all our best can only be attained through some sort of trial by fire, but we can't be kindle all of our lives. Be it coal to slowly burn and warm the hearth or a spark to set a blaze and start the fire, we must make a choice at one point. I think that is something we all must do, is to choose how we will react. Some choose anger, hatred, and physical harm; these are all valid as some individuals do need to be handled with a spear and net, but ultimately from my part that only happens when the beast roars. Or we can use our minds and actually internalize, analyze, and choose a best course of action and not just reaction. When we come to terms with our choices and their respective outcomes, we can make sure that our judgements are well informed and to the best of your and the groups wellbeing. That last part there is key though, because if there's something any of us can truly do is think beyond the immediate and into our future. The tide raises all boats and all that. Sadly we live in this world, and this is just a fable.
