Sex In The City

What an entertaining show. A relaxing laugh at worst.
The thing is,.....it's a show. An artistic production for television.

It is not real life.

Unfortunately,...... I get the impression that men expect women who have tried to keep themselves physically in tact, who are in their late 30's, 40's or 50's,.....who are unmarried or unattached,....... indulge in desperate man hunting sessions,..... and casual sexual encounters.

That impression is mistaken. VERY much so.

You.......

I have had the opportunity of observing a small group of people for some time.

Unfortunately, these sad persons spend a lot of their time thinking about what others are doing, trying to stop others from doing whatever it is they (the group) do not "approve" of,.....and trying to create scenarios that indirectly force or coerce others to do what they "want".

They spend so much time trying to control others,.......that they seem to not have time for themselves. Few or none extraordinary achievements.

YOU...... do not make their mistake.

FORGET about what others are doing that you "like" or "don't like" in their own lives,......you concentrate on YOU.
You give YOURSELF the full benefit of your time. YOU,.....muddle through the mundane, the ordinary in your life,....in the world,...... and climb up to the extraordinary, the superlative, the rare.

Whenever you look at others,...... look at their (others')

superlative actions and achievements,.....with an aim to inform and guide your own efforts towards the development and contribution to creativity, productivity, and enlightenment in the world.

Each person is created special by God,....and each person has a special contribution that only they can make to the human experience.

But if you,.......don't concentrate on you,...... and you mistakenly focus on the destruction or obstruction of others,.....you will completely miss the YOU ..... God intended.

Priam

In the epic movie "Troy", featuring one of the actor Brad Pitt's greatest performances as the great warrior Achilles,.....we meet an equally great historical figure,.....the King of Troy - Priam.

- For all the armies and men the Greek King Mennaleas ( hope I spelt that right,....lol) commanded. The movie says 50,000 men has descended on Troy under Mennaleas' command.
- For all the gold Mennaleas got from the sacking of the Temple of Apollo
- For all the power he had, or think he had......

The King of Troy Priam had one thing that Mennaleas did not have.

Priam had .....honour.

Achilles told Priam "You are a far better king than the one leading this (the Greek) army".

For even in the face of war, death, defeat, sadness, and the loss of his son Hector,.....Priam was still steadfastly willing to DO WHAT WAS RIGHT.

To not be hateful.
To not be treacherous.
To not be deceitful.
To not be wicked.

People lament in these times,..."times have changed"....they say.

Is it that honour died with Achilles ( who was cowardly killed by Paris) .... and with Priam??

Like Odysseua, I too hope to walk with giants .....IN THIS AGE.....
men and women with the spirits of Hector,
of Achilles
of Priam.

Men and women ...... of honour.

Not without dust,....the palm

Most people will likely think that I am not serious about being an artist....... for whatever reason they think,.....and that I take the profession and audio recording ......lightly.

But I don't.

I'm always writing,..... I make my own instrumentals,.....and I had to read TONS of stuff in order to reach a level where I can do that.

And don't forget practice,..... I spend a lot of time on my computer ..... making,....re-making,.....listening to,..... scraping,..... re-making,......music instrumentals. The conceptual design of the song is as important as how it sounds to the ear,....the structure has to fit the words, the melody, the mood.

I work,.....Monday to Friday - I'm an academic,..... but all time outside of that is spent on music. Music,....and more music. More and more singing.

My high school's school motto is "Non Sine Pulvere Palman". Which is Latin for "Not without dust, the palm". If you can relate to that,.....put your lighters up!

It takes a lot of dust to succeed at creation. And dust,.... I shall have......

The next time you see someone with a palm,....... remember it is simply a small indication or representation,...... of the dust they endured.

Sir Isaac Newton,...... made over a thousand light bulbs that did NOT work.
But we enjoy light at night,...... because he failed over and over again,......
and kept trying.

First in beauty is........ first in might???? You think????

I remember being in Literature class and listening to discussions on John Keats poetry by my Lit teacher when one day he read from Ode on a Grecian Urn that " Beauty is truth and truth beauty, that is all you know and all you need to know" and later that "First in beauty is first in might".
He turned to me - "Do you agree with that?" he asked.
I thought a second or two, and answered "Yes".
He screamed at me accusingly "You would!!"

I felt so ashamed. I thought,...."Well, ok,....I don't agree with Keats".

Now that I have had many years to think about it, I feel angry that I was made to feel ashamed of my position.

I think about it now - yes ! I do agree with Keats! For beauty, the essence of, has to do with much more then physical good looks. It is kindness, justice, truth, morality ......GOODNESS.

All want goodness to be first in might. What is the alternative? That "badness" be first in might?
Badness/ugliness is only comfortable with "winning" once beauty/goodness reigns. That way, they can get away with their shit.
But not even badness/ugliness wants badness/ugliness to reign supreme constantly. .

Think of the orcs in the epic movie Lord of the Rings. Orcs were once elves who were captures and tortured into deformity and brutishness. They are portrayed as beastile and wild and warlike. Their deformity was a testament to the ugliness/badness of the one who made them look like that through torture.
Who wants to be tortured? Not even those orcs would have liked the badness or ugliness of spirit that took away their goodness.

First in beauty must be first in might. Light of soul and spirit must rule.
Goodness must be sovereign.

If it were otherwise, not even the proverbial ugly, i.e. the bad of spirit, soul,....i.e the darkness ...... would like it.
Demons spend all their time,..... fleeing hell.
