The Empty Bottle
I can fight only for something I love, love what I respect, and respect what I at least know...

Whats your meaning?
Do you have a meaning? When you die, your obituary, will it say that you had a meaningful life? Most people look at who you are or who you were before now. Although it matters what you accomplished throughout your life here on earth is what they will speak of. To decide is you made life something your proud of, does it have meaning Do you have a reason to live? or a reason to be? Not necessarily live, because everyone here lives, although most merely exist. What I mean is do you feel that there is a reason for you to stay. whether it be a person, an objective, or even a thought of saving humanity.
So what do you believe you are here for? What is your meaning of life? Does your dog need you? Do you have children who depend on you? or is it as simple as to prove that you are worth something? But will that be enough, that when you reach that goal or the overall prosperity... what will happen?
A perfect example of this although most of us know it too well from school, but the people who went through the Holocaust during the 1940s in World War II. More specific, the concentration camps. I know you have heard/seen all of this and I'm sure, are sick and tired of hearing it. But, did you know that most of the survivors, although severely malnutrition are almost physically healthier than you and I? These people didn't brush there teeth, although had healthier gums than a dentist... they bathed only once maybe twice in a the amount of time they were there and they had flawless skin... they wore rags in 17* weather, yet never caught pneumonia or colds.... How is this possible? This shows us that your mental state can control your physical state... not all the time, but some times. Think about it, you can control most of your physical state with your thoughts and mind... relating to a meaning....
So a couple days ago I got to thinking... wouldn't this apply to people who are categorized insane? Are they all really insane? of do they just think they are? I mean murderers who can kill people are sent to jail, even if they kill multiple people you will maybe excited. But if you take it a step further and may be do something else to them or their bodies... that is classified as "mentally unstable" and more than likely be sent to the state house... where they won't kill you... and treat you better than jail....
The mind is a powerful think. It controls not only our thoughts, but our body as well. Why do you think people always tell us to think positive? Have you noticed that those people aren't sick as often, or have bad days? Not only do they think positive, they live it too... Imagine if our society were to think positive if only for a couple days.... or even a couple hours... imagine how our world would change??? So relating back to a former post... lets try it... be positive if not for a couple days, maybe just an hour! Take a day to yourself and see what it does to your mind, body, and happiness. :) happy hunting.
