The Forte & The Inability Of Two-Thousand-Six

Yet another year drifts to a close and a plethora of modifications throughout the year to life itself prospers. With each passing granule of time there is compression; a whole world of subconscious industrialized chunking which processes these simple kernels into complex compounds and fragments eventually forming the fog of cognition we call memory. These fleeting glimpses of the past fuel the perpetual human drive of greed, fear, obsession, jealousy, and all tainted controversy in our existence. Memories, while often believed to be treasured and beneficial, often produce the opposite effect. They bring forth the wants and aspirations of a better future: moments which do not exist, and yet we already build foundations on these ambitious pursuits; thin layers of ice bound to bust and engulf us in a cold abyss of perpetual pain. Soon the obsession for these future moments develops vigorously and the true essence of our existence is lost for eternity. We become captives of our own thoughts which fester with Narcissism. We walk through our daily endeavors as lifeless silhouettes cultivating the pain of ourselves and others. Many neglect or fail to recognize their true potential and the power they hold to overcome this vexatious cycle. Self-destruction can be slowly reversed not by conquering, but through acquiescence. An acute awareness; mindfulness as it is often referred to, can light the way to freedom. Acceptance of the present moment and all that is: to be and to let be.For Two-Thousand-Seven I aim to become more conscious of my thoughts.
