That not only is true good continually battling suffering, but without suffering there could be no true good. Like if there was absolutely no misery in the world, how could something be called good? I'm totally going for the Yin-Yang idea, that in order for good to be there must also be evil (or suffering). Like good is only noticeable because there is evil, and vice versa. Also, I feel true goodness requires getting your hands dirty, it requires embracing evil (or suffering) and working with Evil so as to become good.

The random helping of a stranger is not prompted by evil but by circumstance.

Unquestionably so. <br /><br />I feel that all artistic pursuits, whether it be music, sports, writing, cooking, etc, share moments of 'rapture', if you will, moments where time passes and one becomes emerged in 'flow'. It's hard to write about flow, but yeah, I believe strongly there are many ways to experience it.JAredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562363950029513815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888084597937404496.post-31882462818483619732012-08-23T00:43:35.764-07:002012-08-23T00:43:35.764-07:00Hey Skyler,
Good to hear from you, I value your f...Hey Skyler,<br /><br />Good to hear from you, I value your feedback. As for the natural tone, I've been reading a lot of the Game of Thrones series. The author writes with a flowy style and pace that I found myself naturally writing with when I wrote this article. And yeah, in general I'm trying to write more simply because I can express myself through words, oftentimes more so than speech. I guess my writing is improving, yay! Practice, practice, practice right?<br /><br />And yeah, you're totally right regarding dreams. Though sometimes, I feel, dreams and personal fantasy are one and the same, for both are projections of the future by our aspiring mind. I think the key is being able to identify which of those projections are unwholesome vs wholesome; for some projections are conceited (personal fantasies) while some are shining goals, that if pursued, bring one happiness. <br /><br />JAredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562363950029513815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888084597937404496.post-23283471274184526862012-08-22T23:17:14.615-07:002012-08-22T23:17:14.615-07:00Your writing is definitely improving, you seem to ...Your writing is definitely improving, you seem to be finding your natural tone. Im glad you could turn the conflicts of your study abroad into lessons, that really is a great quality. I find the advice "Give out positive energy to everyone and pursue the people who give it back" to be wonderful advice. Im going to try to incorporate that into how i make friends and ultimately judge people. I dont agree however with what you said about dreams. I feel you were describing more of a personal fantasy about being adored rather than dreams (aspirations) and that one should actually follow their dream if it is something that makes them happy. I also participated in a improv activity this summer and found it to be very fun, and the people all nice. I would definitely encourage you to give it a trySkylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13407607067786650512noreply@blogger.com
