Oceans of Life

I enjoy using the ocean or water to explain things, this goes back to the fact I grew up in Southern California and was at the beach or in water a lot. It gave me time to think and see the natural world around me and now that I am more philosophical, it is something that seems to fit many of my thinking. I think life is like waves sometimes it’s calm sometimes it seems like there is patterns to how the waves come in so we think we know things then they either stop or get bigger and it feels to much or confusing all over again. The tide comes in and we must move or risk drowning then the tide goes out and we feel out of the water all together. Every time we fight, it is changes and we are left confused. However, the one truth to me is we must go with the sea; the biggest required thing is always be ready for change. See the waves, as not against us not trying to knock us down they are just part of the natural process they do what they do not against us not for us it is we that must see where we stand where we can change where we must adapt. We can learn to ride them learn to enjoy the journey. We should see how to enjoy its freedom as much as stay clear and go to higher ground when a tsunami is coming in but not staying away or stopping life just because a tsunami hit and left destruction. We clean up and go back to enjoying the waves seeing the patterns but ever ready to change. There is not strong or weak people to me putting yourself as going through the same but I am better is never a way to help. We are not the same people throughout our lives; all people are who they are, not better than or less than as people, it is our behavior that differentiates us. So, we may go to war several times, see every atrocity and have little problem, some come back with a few issues, some have a hard time but get through, some get so affected they can never return to normal society, some come back and are so troubled they give up. Therefore, I will say it now to everyone, as much as possible never judge another’s pain. Try to see the life of the other person before you as unique thus try to not say or think I went through what you did and it did not hurt me. Alternatively, try not to think if it did affect you but you were able to get over it easy that will be the case for everyone. We need to see every experience as different, even if they may be similar they still maybe always different as it’s different people. We must try to respect that understanding and care for others where they are at as much as possible. I have the goal of not only wanting to be here for others but to try to help others learn new things and work with them to improve themselves with as much care and understanding as I can. I strive to hold the attitude where I am open to like everyone, however this is not always possible, and I will possibly say some things you do not like or something you think could have been said different or better (I am not good at grammar and spelling). I hope to see or converse with you in the oceans of life. 🙂
