Conflict

"I don't believe you," says the heart. "All you see is negative. Come on, can't you be optimistic once more?"
"You're wrong there, pal," replies the head. "I'm not optimistic or pessimistic, i see neither half-empty, nor half full. I simply measure the depth."
 - And what does it tell you?
  -- There are obvious gaps in the matrix. What you believe in, has logical flaws. What you are optimistic about, can't be true, as I deduce from the information available. I can see a tiny mismatch in the pattern.
 - But you're seeing the image of just this moment. The pattern may change.
  -- Yes, but it may change your way, it may go against you. Why are you biased ?
 - I don't want to be, Big Brother. It's just that being optimistic makes my rhythm more pleasant!
  -- So you'll take the risk of getting broke in future, just to be happy now?
 - Who can predict the future, Big Brother? You just said that you cannot. Enjoy the moment, try to make the future brighter! Then we'll see.
  -- Sigh!!

He'll take care of her, with the best of his ability. He'll not let the smile fade away. Her smile - the sunshine, and his love - the...

Some things are simply the correct things to do.

Our sanctuary

-
A very few of us have been lucky enough to have had a perfect life. Most of us have had to deal with some loss, or live in an environment, which was difficult in some way. Some of us have faced this as children, when we were not mature enough to deal with these situations in a clever way. In our eternal quest to survive, we created our personal sanctuaries to protect ourselves from these difficult situations or memories. Some of us found peace in literature, performing arts or competitive sports. Some turned to alcoholism and substance abuse. Some became social workers, some others became bullies or tyrants. Protected in this space, we have tried to concentrate the energy that we have missed - be it peace, power or love. From a very young age, I found my sanctuary in fantasy. I built an imaginary world around me, where I was loved unconditionally, because feeling loved is what I have missed consciously and subconsciously throughout my growing age. In my make-believe world, I am loved t...
