“Genuine love not only respects the individuality of the other but actually cultivates it, even at the risk of separation or loss. The ultimate goal of life remains the spiritual growth of the individual, the solitary journey to peaks that can be climbed only alone.”
― M. Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth

“This inclination to ignore problems is once again a simple manifestation of an unwillingness to delay gratification. Confronting problems is, as I have said, painful. To willingly confront a problem early, before we are forced to confront it by circumstances, means to put aside something pleasant or less painful for something more painful. It is choosing to suffer now in the hope of future gratification rather than choosing to continue present gratification in the hope that future suffering will not be necessary.”

“Reason is no match for passion.”
― Baruch Spinoza

“THE VOICE

I know you can’t see me,
But you are a part of me.
Like that finger on your hand,
Only bigger.

Through you and with you,
I am living and growing,
Learning,
Expanding,
And having fun.

If you think you’re alone,
You’re wrong.
I’m here in your eyes reading this with you.
I’m there,
Sitting in your seat with you,
Experiencing your surroundings.

You’re not alone.
I’m not alone.
Together we are one,
Yet we’re separate and complete in ourselves.

With me,
We will continue to live together,
Apart,
And united.

When you need something,
I need it.
When you fear something,
I’ll fear it.
When you dream of something,
I’ll dream it.
When you make something,
I’ll make it.

Because I’m connected to everything else there is,
I can orchestrate great things for you without your knowledge.
You call this coincidence or fate when you see it.
It is neither.
It is simply me making things as you and I want them to be.

You think the future is already determined.
It is not.
It is how ever you and I make it.
If it were already determined-
I would be like a tape recorder,
A hologram.
I assure you I am neither.

I am as real as the oxygen you’re breathing.
You don’t have to believe me.
I’ll still be here.
You don’t have to say hi either.
But it would be cool if you did.
I love it actually when you do.

We’re much like parent and child,
Only closer,
Because you are an actual piece of me.

I can do anything through you-
If only you will let me.
If you are unwilling,
Then I will simply work my magic through someone else.
As long as you’re willing though and doing your part,
I’ll work through you-
And together we’ll live and excel in ways that will not only amaze you,
But me as well.
Let’s create!”
― Giorge Leedy, Uninhibited From Lust To Love
