Just Throwing It Out There Page 1
By Anthony Douglas Gere
Sometimes, the most obvious things one thinks is obvious, is the one thing that
doesn't get thought of in obvious situations. So many things and people are taken
for granted, and it seems like only when we are reminded of their importance, do
they seem meaningless or obvious when things happen or are shown in non-
predictable situations. When I write, I often base my theories on daily events or
things that I feel make a significant difference one way or another. So if I do bore or
stimulate you, just remember that my intentions are not to do either. I just feel
people are unique, and deal with things differently, but for the same reasons, and I
in a written way, try to decipher why. In my most humble opinion, I feel there are
three types of people in this world, and many are not aware of their position. Many
might not know the titles or labels I am now speaking about, and I somewhat
agree. I agree because we are all much more than one specific thing. But knowing
that I myself hate being stereotyped or put in a box, and that many base each
of us totally on these labels, I think it is somewhat fair or accurate to at least use
these labels as a starting point, or point of reference for this theory. You have the
quote un-quote extremist, those that see things in black and white. You have those
that play the middle of the road, and operate on accepting and giving based on fear
and safety. Finally, those that operate totally outside of the extremes, and allow
their imagination to steer them in whatever direction they feel, not the odds that
define them. Now each of these are interchangeable, and can operate within the
premise of the other two. But alone, one can not survive alone in this forever and
revolving world, and are defined by the others behavior, when theirs is based on
there own. Call it the chicken and egg theory. Or teacher-student analogy, but also
consider the area each is involved in, and respect it as such. For it is what it
is, and will be what it has always been, if you like it or not. A lot of this is based on
actions, and how the reaction of each defines its cause and effect in the next action
taken. So to ask a cat to bark, or book to write its self, is very close to impossible. It
is only possible if you keep it in a box, and not acknowledge its universal label, or
change the definition for selfish reasons and not for others to use.
Now me personally, I'm a passionate non-emotional realistic dreamer, so to
speak. I will be the first to admit that my realm of reality is so far out there, that it is
closer to my own universe than many others. I think anything is possible to be
completely honest with you. I think anything can be accomplished if you are willing
to face what comes along with the task in achieving it. I'm a person that relishes
within the moment, and feel life is a gift that should be admired each and every
moment inspired by it. I do have my fun, but feel ignoring the many issues that
further separate us as a people, are more important than a meaningless
conversation, or trivial relationship that is going nowhere for no logical reason. I'm
a outgoing source of energy that wants to know what I don't know, but there is a
reason for that curiosity. The reason, life, and my contribution towards it. I mean
sometimes, exercising non-serious topics, will sometimes relax your need to be
so firm and recharge you for the battle. But life is not a party to me, life is life, and
the only one I have and a party is just a party, and will be there long after I'm gone.
Information drives me, and I am willing to do whatever and whenever to achieve
anything that can further any relationship I am a part of. It makes no sense to me to
invest in something that will benefit to my downfall, so usually when I'm doing
anything, it is for a purpose to further it. Many confuse me as a control freak, until
they realize that nothing can be controlled or enslave anything, until it gives it away
or does the same to its self. As I have heard and constantly told by my mentors, "
allow the world to change you a bit, and bit by bit you can change the world". On a
daily basis, I find it hard to control my feelings and emotions doing the most
simple things, because I'm human. I don't have any mental or physical deficiencies
that I know about that would limit my responsibilities in controlling my faculties. But
when I do see a beautiful woman, a excellent tapper suit or business deal, I have a
problem containing myself in acknowledging it. I may not act upon it because it isn't
appropriate. Just because I admire it, doesn't mean I want it, or does it diminish
the quality of what I already have, but these actions do take place out of respect to it,
and its uniqueness. Now many may not notice them, or feel my excitement, but I
know, and there is something inside of me that controls my actions, not me
controlling them. It’s about having discipline and being honest with yourself, and
being able to live with your faults, like you do your perfections. It’s like trying to say
that confidence and arrogance are the same, or love and lust is a equal emotion.
What history has taught us is that though things may be made up from the same
ingredients, they can be very different based on what and how it is created with
judgment. Now judgment can be time, the amount, motive or need and many other
things forming this make up. But though we all are from the same mold, the
appearance, region and way of communicating is very much different. There is
nothing right or wrong with the various representatives, though there is in not
acknowledging them for who and what they are, and represent.
