Picked a nail out of my shoe yesterday and took a few steps ahead to realize that it went right into my goddamn skin. Who put that nail there I pondered. Nobody answered. I walked on.
We stumble upon these nails all the time, some prick, some pack a punch, some ruin your shoe, while a few others just don’t hit you. What do you do when you realize it’s there? You pick them out and keep walking. For someone else to fall on? maybe not!
These hinges mean a rat’s ass in our daily being. They really do. They just don’t mean a thing. So what we’ve done out of ignorance is discount and reward ourselves into falsified justice. Makes sense? I’m sure it doesn’t
Then there comes a bunch of beings who like to take the matter to highest court in their living space and fight for their right (of nonsensical justice?). This nail shouldn’t have been on my path. What just happened to my living space? Who has polluted it so much that I have to bear the brunch? … All this for the nail in the shoe and perhaps the skin.
Which of these categories do we fall under? How do we measure the level of involvement (or ignorance) in the riding scales of these events? Are we standing up to our principles? Or are we standing up to what we think fall in our living circle? Or are we standing up to nothing at all?
How many times have you been given a blind ear? Things just don’t go your way. So how do you handle them? Put your foot down and ask for justice (or take it in your hand)? Or choose to walk a fresh path (perhaps rerun the same path)?
We seldom realize the follies in our journeys in life. We cannot differentiate between our have’s and our be’s. The concentric Circles of Influence and Concern. Fact and Story.

For all the men and women in the building …
- GROW UP and smell the air around you. Life ain’t that hard. You define most of it. If you choose to live a life which is governed by misfalls and misdoings, then that’s how it will end up being.
- Once again, GROW UP and smell the air around you. If you choose to get worked up over a nail that bites you, the crazy wagon will keep running into you with a tossed bunker every single step of your life (increases exponentially with your level of involvement). Know that you are just not getting it right.
- I wish not to repeat this again, but seriously GROW UP. Know your fact from your story. We package everything and mess ourselves up with the wraps. We’ve never grown out of a story we’ve made on people, things and almost all the time, our own meager selves. Grow out of your Story and work at gaining and comprehending Reality and what-is.
We’re openly blinded to the undivided picture of life. Get a grip ladies & gentlemen …
… Keep walking
