So it’s been a long time since it’s been a long time I posted anything. Lots going on and lots going better. I bought this quote book last year. My idea was to do a quote a day kind of ‘self improvement’. Well that just didn’t happen. I got side tracked and wrapped up in other thing (obviously).
Quote:
You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone.
This is why art is important.
James Baldwin
Does this sum up your life? I think it sums up mine. Of course I had to Google who Dostoevsky was but I imagine you could replace him with lots of different people. The point is lots of us feel like we’re the only experiencing or have expreienced what we’re going through and that’s just not the case. People have been on the planet for, well we don’t really know. Every time we think we have a starting time we find a new lost civilization in a part of the world that we weren’t expecting one.
Hint: Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, sometimes transliterated Dostoyevsky, was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist and philosopher. Wikipedia
Sadly my/our lives aren’t anyting new. People have been through the same and much worse for generations. We still have the same basic needs. We have for the most part the same phycial anatomy. To think we’re the only one that’s had ‘this situation’ is rather silly. It’s like the movies these days. How many original themes and storylines can there or are there to make movies with any more? Any more they’re just recycling storylines.
We tend to look for something bad in our lives instead of the good. I know I’ve been working on that personnaly. I have a pretty good life. I don’t struggle for anything. I mean sure there are some things I would LOVE to have but I wouldn’t die without them.
I would LIKE to be closer to work. Well that’s something I can change. It’s all dependent on me. I would LIKE to be thinner. Well that’s going to depend on me and my diet and exercise. I would LIKE to have more money. Well more money comes with either not spending or finding a job that pays better. Again it’s totally dependent on me.
So in an effort to start 2020 off on the right foot I’m making a blog post and working on some tech training at www.freecodecamp.org. Action is the best medicine for so many things and today I chose to be proactive and make a move.
