A day Richer, a Dollar poorer

One more duty day over and done, complete, over-done.  I was the hero of the drunks last-night: I fixed the duty van. Van. Ugh. So yeah, I got to get greazy and dirty, covered in coolant and shocked half to death. I loved every minuet of it. Fixed the hole in radiator, fixed the problem with the spark plugs, got the Van running and then…    stood watch. Fun Fun Fun ’till they take my wrench away. Not much else doing yesterday, I really just enjoyed myself for once. I am at peace most when I have a problem to fix, when I can fix the problem. I love problems. I love troubled relationships, I like arguing. I like to wrestle. I like resistance, the Idea of overcoming, conquering. Steel is sharpened by stone, so then I am made stronger by resistance. Never seek the easy path, it leads to complacency, to an early death and the hands of a meat shop butcher. Baa Baa Black Sheep…. “Get rid of them black sheep, they stick out like a sore thumb, they need to be silenced, to be hidden and forgotten!” Stay Noticeable! Don’t dye your wool, don’t be what your not. Accept the resistance, learn to love it, to thrive on it. When I am in the middle of a wrestling/boxing-kicking-biting match I laugh… I laugh when anyone tells me To silence myself, to blend myself, to lessen myself. Their resistance makes me laugh. Now I’m not saying ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,’ that is a stupid, stupid saying. I am saying that resistance and opposition strengthens you. It can change you, don’t be afraid to change, just be wary of it. Change is good, we should not sit in the same pool unless it is a bubbling pure stream. Truth doesn’t change, Ideas of truth do. What you believe to be Truth may not in fact be so. Examine all things, be critical. Seek Truth, Seek what is right and true. Do not seek justice for perfect justice is perfectly blind and we must all then be judged. Justice is Gods domain, man should not presume to know what justice is. But What is right, Truth can be known, it can. At rock bottom in the heart of man is truth. Listen to your neighbor, truth comes in the wind of emptiness, mouths speak without ever knowing what come out of them, it is up to us to listen and interpret. Do not speak emptily. Truth is born in the hearts of man it is in us at birth, be aware and do not let the sounds of everyday drive away what is right and true. baa baa black sheep have you any wool, yes sir, yes sir.
