I am but a fool, to claim otherwise is to mislead myself as well as others.

HPIM0622I am but a fool, to claim otherwise is to mislead myself as well as others. I am a thinker and therefore I look at things logically but I am also a dreamer so I can see things in the abstract. I strive for balance but rarely do I ever achieve it. I loath negative confrontation though I seem to find myself facing such more than I like. I desire to be secure and self-assured but walk through life doubting myself and those around me. I try to see the best in everyone but usually I receive their worst. I try to be caring and compassionate but I find that I must fight hard to remain so. I am optimistic but yet I am also a realist with some doubts. I am far from perfect and I will admit that to anyone whom I meet. I love to talk and work hard at being one who likes to listen. I know of no one who I truly hate and forgiveness is something I give sometimes too easily. I am a creative thinker and writer as well as a lover of all arts. I can come off somewhat cold at times but I am nothing but a big softy. I pay too much attention to what others think about me and not enough to what I think about myself. I am a fool who seeks truth, wisdom and some kind of order in this chaotic world.

Just Me, right or wrong, take it or leave it. That’s that.

So a fool I may be

021  I am just a fool seeking the path to wisdom, I am just an average Joe trying to become a sage. I had walked many paths and have taken many turns on my quest for wisdom only to come full circle to back where I had started. I am yet a fool, but some wisdom I have gained along the way. I am still an average Joe walking on the many roads of life. I keep moving forward in hope of finding wisdom and becoming wise before my time here is over.

I may be a fool but I have learned that no man or woman is greater than another. No ones life is less important than another’s because we all contribute to the world around us. I have found that being happy is just as much as a choice as being sad. We choose for the most part how we relate to this world. I also learned it isn’t how much you have but how much you love and enjoy the things your are blessed with that makes life good.

So a fool I may be, but a fool that has found wisdom through his mistakes as well as from his few good choices. I will keep learning and seeking out wisdom for that is my path to follow.

For what a man will be remembered for is not how rich, powerful or famous he may have been, he will be remembered for how he treated others along with his actions good or bad. For every one of our words and all of actions are a reflection of who we truly are within. They also affect everyone and thing around us in one way or another. Good works may not get one into heaven but they can create a better world to live in.
