I need to learn acceptance. I don't mean acceptance of other races or cultures, but of life in general. I was watching a documentary the other day on A & E called A Warrior's Journey that was about the message Bruce Lee was trying to convey in his movie The Game of Death which he didn't get to finish before he passed in 1973. At the end of the documentary Bruce is asked by an interviewer to re-explain his general philosophy on life and Kung fu and what he said stuck with me.
He said, "you should be like water. Pour water in a glass, it becomes the glass, pour water in a bowl, it becomes the bowl, be like water my friend, be like water." At least thats the main gyst of it. Take what you have and what you are given and make it a part of you, be aware of changes and flow in harmony with them.
Easier said then done right? I don't want to look within myself for the answers. I'm too lazy and unsure of things as it is. I need a good solid opinion of things confirmed by a reliable second and third opinion. Why do we live? Why do we die? Do we merely exist so we can question why and never know?
I'm not a religious person, but I still hope there is an afterlife. The thought of dying and then nothing scares the crap out of me. I've thought of becoming a buddhist to relieve myself of all desire and gain acceptance of death, but I don't know.
Well, that's all my short attention span will allow me to write for now, catch ya later.

To gain insight on those things i would read.
Stuff abour warriors tales and sacred geometry and stuff. I have to run to work now, and i dont want to try and sound smarter than I am, so im out, but good luck with it.
If people want to just read my journal they can just bookmark me...
Maybe this is harsh, but I don't actually want a huge list of friends. Quality, not quantity right?
