Murky Waters

So what happens when someone mixes reality with
supposition? Do we get tricked and swallow the
bait? Or do we sift through the murky waters and
garner the kernel of truth, leaving the rest?

This is a tricky area; separating what we believe
from what is fact.

Say you're not feeling well, so you go to the
doctor. The doctor runs tests, and comes to you
with the results. The doctor presents that you are in
fact sick (which we'll assume for the purposes of
this exercise, is a fact.)

Next, however, the doctor decides to give a little 'gift.'

"I give you 6 months to live," he or she states.

Nope.
Take it back.
Don't curse me, you quackish hack.
F*** you very much, Doctor Douche bag.

This is an assumption, not fact. It is the doctor's
reality, which is distinctly different from being
actual reality or your reality. It doesn't become
reality until you accept it, embrace it, take it
inside and give it a home. That's a choice.

The sickness may be true. Sickness is treatable.
Attitude and mental clarity are huge factors in
addressing any dis-eases in the body. Some
even point to evidence that disease is a direct
result of stress, thinking, and pent-up emotions.

Maybe you want a death sentence?

Maybe you believe life is unfair and you feel
dramatic and want to die and feel sorry for
yourself prior?

Maybe you simply think big ol'
important doctors know more about your body
and your fighting spirit than you?

Maybe a lot of things....like there are plenty
of folks out there who decide to improve their
lives as a result of such erroneous curses from
doctors, and come back from it better than ever.

We choose everything in our world.
How we live. Whether or not we want to live.
Giving up is a choice, too. It isn't a reality....
despair is a state of mind.

Life can be as good as we want it to be.
What do we really want?
Have we ever been asked before?
