Day Thirty-Six, February 5th, 2024

Hi-ho Hello.

I’m not one for politics, though I know there needs to at least be an understanding of a variable to knowledge, perhaps we call it a decent knowledge. I don’t know.

So I have a neighbor who I occasionally help, sometimes go and do a medication run due to him not being able and his health being a considerable factor in what he can and cannot do. The older he gets the more the calls have become expected. Then I have my friend, the one I’m editing for and their age and about maybe 20 maybe 10 year difference, but boy, to see one not fall very far from the tree of his family in the predecessors before him, and then the other I’ve been editing and working with him this man didn’t just fall from the tree gently, he landed on a polished shuttle that took him to successes that god willing I can only dream of.

It’s weird, one is a character that uses language, brash behaviors, and outrage to move their wants, the other is, well not to be biased, but he’s humble, patient, relaxed and calm. There is a polar opposite of the two that is more perplexing than I even understand myself because I don’t know why? Things I question, one: I feel, guessing it’s guilt, knowing one and his difficulties and that he could be helped and I choose to help. The other, honestly he’s got the means and the affordability to do and get whatever he wants, I don’t know why either of them have fallen into my path, but I appreciate one where the other one I take heed with their actions and so far it’s helped me figure a lot out.

I say I’m not a fatalist and I agree with the Stoics that a putting faith in it that it was already planned, each step being contrived and thought out eons ago, this limits our success and grounds the perspectives and hopeful bounds of change that can come from finding new prospects, new hopes, and knowing we are accountable to what we create.

Still hugging the cactus I feel that I’m living proof, we likely all are, living the understanding of how actions will always have consequences. Which one has you in your hollow?

C’est la vie

good night and good morning, good morning and good night.
