Letting go...

This is most probably one of the funniest things ever sent to me…”once upon a time,a prince asked a beautiful princess: "will u marry me?" Princess said: "NO!" and the prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf and dated women half his age and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted...The End”

Another super glorious day on the Highveld today and today for a very long time a peace of mind. I’ve been stuck on an issue for a good few months and shaiza you know how an issue can just consume you…bring out the devil? Man that was me. Those who know me, know me to be an easy going easy living kinda guy. But this one guy and some issues just got so under my skin that my mental state would alter. Yesterday was however the turning point.

I had a conversation with a former representative of his and was so enraged post that that I had some pretty nasty thoughts running in my head of how I could make his life uncomfortable even if just for poops and giggles, my mind was racing the blood was boiling so much so that I wasn’t focusing on the road, I got to where I was going but I cant recall how I got there and I wasn’t drinking either ☺. This thing consumed me the whole damn day and ended with me playing one of the cr appiest games of touch known to man, but the a ss holes I played with may well have played a huge part in that though. I went to bed indifferent. Woke up this morning mulling over the issue. Reflected, did my morning readings jumped in the shower and a calm voice came to me and said man, let it go…and it was done, a weight has been lifted. To ensure that I don’t revisit it, I sent an email to the source of my angst saying that I am letting it go and I am also telling you guys as well so if you ever hear me talking about it you tell me to move on. You know how the human mind works, one day its one thing the other it’s the next thing.

I have first hand experience of how you can get consumed by negativity. Better still how when you make an issue of something it affects your functioning. This issue has been going on for about a year or slightly more, became more of an issue near the end of last year. I felt that I was hard done by and I wasn’t able to let it go and it manifested and grew and just morphed into a nasty little cancer that just wouldn’t let me go. But right now as I sit, I feel that I have taken the first positive step and long may it last I pray.

Most humans are pretty emotional beings, I being one such being, some may argue otherwise ☺ but its so easy to believe you have been unfairly or unjustly treated and want to get revenge or justice. But sometimes its really not worth the effort man, if you weigh it all up and you can see this other person is being in your mind a d oos, just because s/he can the option is do you become one too and get into the trenches and fight or just shrug ir off and go look for a more worthy cause to put all your energy into.

I am a strong believer in the universe having a way of placing everything back in equilibrium in some shape or form. I think I may have mentioned this to you before, but when I was younger, I watched an episode of Knight Rider, we used to record them so we had VHS upon VHS of episodes and my fondest one was one called Boca Colibra, there is a part where Eduardo the bad guy throws a boomerang and it comes back to him, he says these words, or something that sounded like these words…life is like a boomerang, what you put out is what you receive.

Trust you me, I aint no martyr, letting go is one of theeee toughest decisions ever, because I was ready to fight, but I’ve got a few positive things going on at the moment and this little issue detracts from all of that…so do a cost benefit analysis…ITS NOT WORTH IT

So if you are where I am…was, focus was…dude/dudette, think about it, is it really worth it? They’ll get their dues…or not, but either way you aren’t stuck in a moment you cant get out of…

Before I bounce though, this public service strike is one thing and in light of government spending on parties and fancy hotels etc, I can understand their grievances, but what I cant for the life of me understand is why beat up people that actually want to carry on working, or worse still blockade hospitals so that doctors cant get in. In this country, jobs are few and workers aplenty. Now im not saying that is an excuse to be paying them poorly, but I do however think for example some of the teachers are toilet. Some of the kids were being interviewed on radio and TV and the standard of their language is poor at best. I say pay the good teachers, cull/train the weak ones. But this business of violence and restriction of movement of those that want to work is not on!

Im out of here, enjoy whats left of the rest of your weeks

Respect always man
