S.A.N.E. something for us all to consider

[ian6880]

Hi all,

I hope this helps anyone or for that matter everyone, we all have to have each other’s back we are isolating ourselves too much and paying the price for it.

Someone, Anyone, No-one, Everyone

We start out our life as someone, a beautiful baby that is loved and adored by all saturated with love and attention, you feel safe because you are SOMEONE

As you grow the focus on you appears to become less, is this true where did everyone go, you have so many questions, so many feelings about life and this world, but who to talk to and trust, to feel safe with. At this point you would be happy to be ANYONE

As you transition from your teens to adulthood you’re on the edge fighting, struggling, searching to be someone or anyone but all you feel is this deep ominous feeling that no matter what, in ‘this’ world you are NO-ONE.

As you grow and become more aware of the world around you, the world continues to get bigger and therefore you feel you are getting smaller more insignificant.

When you look at a beach and you see the beautiful white sand, how wonderful, it is something to behold, but when you look closer it is made up of all those individual grains of sand that when looked at individually they appear to be nothing special. But each grain is absolutely necessary to create a beautiful thing and vision that brings so much enjoyment and pleasure to EVERYONE.

You are the grain of sand and you play an important role in creating the beauty of  your beach, which is the world as are other people, society, friends, family, future friends and family. You may not see or realise your importance until you learn to step back and see the bigger picture, see the beach.

It’s funny how people react when someone is born or when someone dies they all smother you with attention for a while and then get back to their own lives wouldn’t balance be nice.

It is up to everyone to take time to include someone or anyone and ensure no-one is left alone, at least until they realise how important that individual grain of sand is

“IT IS UP TO EVERYONE”

Take care everyone

Hi Ian

Firstly, welcome to Beyond Blue ... and wowee, you're going to fit into this community like a hand into a glove.

What a great post this one is ... very thought provoking.

However, may I say that my depressive side of me jumped out with his hair bristling on his back and barked:  "yeah, but what about when you take sand home from the beach and it gets on the floor of your car ... what about that ... you hate that don't you!!!"

To which I countered back by saying, "Yes, but Ian's post was referring to the whole beach ... the beauty of that ... not the ones that were snookered between toes or ingrained into the towels and such",  and with that, I turned the black mongrel around and booted him fair and square back into his kennel.

(I then ran like mad hoping I could outsprint him till the length of his chain ran out!)

Hi Neil,

Thanks for the welcome.

Maybe we are the lucky ones, as always happy people only live in this shallow life totally happy, life is good. Where we break things down and study it from all angles good , bad and in between just to be sure. We don't need a lot a friends as we seem to be able to occupy our time arguing with ourselves and generally losing. Never a dull moment.

I like how you think and look at things, gave me a giggle.

I'm glad you liked my gobble de ****, it's a process I've started doing when I'm sitting up all night where I have started writing stuff down.

As the saying goes "Better out that in" !!! so have started getting it out of my head.

Ok, take care

Ian
