from your heart
not from your mind or from cliches.. but from your heart what do you feel about life? i asked myself this question today and my heart said: "life is like a game you can't win" i think to many men today, that's what life feels like a big game you can't win have you ever seen the movie "king of kong" ? (no not king kong.. king OF kong) if you watch it, you can see into the male psyche.. we all have a desire to master something and win at it.. but "winning" eludes many of us which is why we seek to exude power and control in other areas other than our own lives because controlling your own life and keeping things in order despite so many variables and factors oftentimes seems impossible i am reminded of a line from kanye "i don't know what's better, gettin laid or gettin paid/ all i know is i'm gettin one but the other's gettin away/" its like you might succeed in one area of life but another area of your life suffers thus you feel like you cannot win thus you feel like there is no point to playing i know this is negative.. but i would say the majority of the male psyche today feels this way like i was watching this real estate thing the other day that said 75% of people today don't qualify to take out a loan for a home how do people in 2014 feel like winners when they have no sense of ownership and do not qualify for something as basic as their own home? i am not complaining, i am just acknowledging.. which is the first step to change

I see it as like characters in a story.when we break the fourth wall so to speak and try to figure it out we get caught up in that .We should do like the characters and ride things out and roll with the punches rather than trying to figure out the genre,chapter count,target audience.We don't know which act of the story we're in,we don't know the ending for sure,so we just gotta let our plots play out.Enlightenment can really be a burden sometimes.
