Silence

So this week I am have been observing increased silence, not total silence, but increased silence and I must say its been remarkable. The amount of trouble I have avoided by just keepnig quiet is incredible. People leave me alone, no one bothered me, I was just calm, quiet and collected. It was amazing. All I did was thought before speaking; “Will this help anyone?” If not, then i kept quiet, if Yes, then I would say it.

Simple as that.

Ok so this week I am following Charity, much harder to fit into your daily routine me thinks but none the less I shall try my hardest and I will update you all in a week!

Warriors Edict

 This is a poem/Edict I wrote. Enjoy and please comment.

Warriors Edict

We are the engines of war.
We stand at the brink of Oblivion
and step into the darkness.
We are fearless and honest
brave and true.

We shed the blood of the darkness
to feed the insatiable primal force.
Stand forward now.
Son of Man. Warrior of Light.

For in you rests our future.
Your soul is your armour.
Your words the sharpest blade.
Should God stand in your way:
Cut him. Cut him without Mercy.

Death is your ally.
He will stand beside you always.
No moment is safe. No mortal immune.
Live without fear of him.
For he will take you regardless.

And let these words rest silent in your mind.
Let each one become you, and in turn
become it.
For it is your duty now,
cut the darkness
Cut it for Eternity.
That is your purpose.
Serve it well son of Man.
Warrior of Light.

Don’t eat too much!

Yes I know I took a little longer with this but I just wanted to get it into my head. Its harder than you think to refuse food, the genetic desire to eat till you burst is strong. Sooo I tried hard I did, but ultimately 
I failed miserably, certainly something I will be working on I tell you….

There isn’t much I can actually tell you really, no noticeable benefits of eating less in one week, generally less tired but that could be down to a lot of different things coincidentally coming togeher this week…

And so we come to the most interesting one in my opinion…

Silence

I wil keep much more quiet and let me tell you…Its gonna be a ride…I’ll see you all in a weeks time, peace out!

Random Thought

Letting go of the reigns and jumping off the horse, is gonna be peaceful, because your off the horse! But you’ll never get to where your going….

In other words…Non attachment isn’t always the best way to go!

Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged

So its been nearly a whole week since I started adhering to “Judge not lest ye be judged” and let me tell you its HARD. Its very hard, it took all my willpower to refrain from judging people inconsiderately. I have messed upa few times, getting lost in the comfort of practiced cynicism and hate. I have seen people through a lens predetermined by other people of a similar type. I forget just who I am and who they are and instead saw them as merely reflections of others like them. I did not see their own personal worth and oppurtunity. This is an important lesson for all of us. Each person has value. 
Each life is its own master, no one elses. When you hand over control to a society, or community then you relinquish your free will and the rights it has. You become a slave to whatever others decide. This is treason to oneself. Plain and simple.

This week I made a special moral obligation to not judge others for how I see them. I realised that it is only through me are they defined by me. They themselves are not to blame for my feelings. If someone was to attack me, I would judge them as a danger, however just because someone LOOKS like they might be th esort to attack me does not make them an danger, do you see?

Well onto my next challenge I will keep you all posted in about 7 days.
