"MADE FOR MORE" - #UnderstandingMe

"...I didn't find my way to the top of the 'food chain' only to be a 'vegetarian', nor was I created a predator to make friends. I know who I am, and I'll make the best out of me." -TW™
Its been so often said that no one can tell you so accurately than yourself. Of course none has the power to see the goings-on in your mind, what we see is what you show, and what you show, is what you wish and the ones you don't are the ones you chose to conceal or do not know.
There's this tiny little detail about you that rarely comes to light. Most times not because you decided to keep them in the cool, not because you love them remaining dormant or unnoticed, but for some reasons we should know shortly, they languish forever in the dark.

The words "Food chain" and "Vegetarian" used in my above quote are far from generic, and if you'll look closely, they are bothered by carets. In other words, they would fit into whatever situation it is that speaks to you. A food chain is a simple organization, linear sequence of a feeding relationship of living organisms. Characterized by animals of different kinds and/or species, where one is a prey, and another a predator, and the one a producer, while the other the consumer, not leaving out the decomposers. Surely, everyone has their niche. We should save some Biology really, but one thing should be on note, i.e ; The higher they go up the chain, the more vast their food options.

Someone's asking how do all these marry, how do they make this discussion hold water?
A lion that fails to understand its place and being will eat grass, even in the jungle. Yes, even in the jungle in the presence of rich meat. "Sometimes its not about what you lack, but what you understand by lack, and many a times, the definition of your being in relation to what you want or most importantly, need." -TW™
As with the food chain, we humans grow in experience with every passing day, whether we take cognizance of it or not would be the issue. Our experience promotes us, and gets us above yesterday's position, but its more in the KNOWING. You've got to know.
Most vegetarians are known to abstain from animal food, though, (funnily) not eggs. I'll play safe ignoring the science of this, and maybe just highlight lightly its psychology and philosophy.
Like every other human, a vegetarian has got the ability to eat flesh. Need I let you know that "Vegetarianism" is a decision, a choice, and there are different forms of it? Ok, I just did.
Apologies to vegetarians, I respect quite fine your decision, I only hope you believe me when I say you can what you think you can't , yes you can. Likening the subject of vegetarianism to the matter at hand, we can most of the things we think we can't. Its just a matter of knowing what really is the truth about you. I talked about growing to garner experience, I also mentioned increase in capacity with relation to experience. I sure still remember I tied it all to KNOWING YOU.
Friends, nothing makes life work better than knowing yourself. Its permitted to believe you possibly can't know all about you, but how much have you exploited/maximized the little you know? Remember, until you realize who you are, you remain limited, and continue to limit your own options.
I understand today with those who have known, but circumstances of life continue to deprive them of living who they are.
There's more that you can do, there's more that you can be, if only you'll take time to understand yourself.
What you like, what you dislike.
Who you like, who you so do not like. (Follow peace with all men is the commandment)
What is often said about you, what you say to yourself in the confines of your heart.
What you'll do readily, and what circumstances will have you do.
How you're being perceived, and how you'll rather be perceived.
Who you are, and who you really wished you were.
If you sat over the universe and its resources, or put mildly, could make anything happen, what exactly would be now?
Where would you be?
What would you be caught doing?
Who would you have made yourself become with such unquestionable powers?
"But I don't have such powers, why bother my mind?" (I know someone is asking). That's where we often miss it. That was no call to fantasize, but a call to deep reasoning, and soul searching.
You can do more, if only you knew you truly was made for more. Accept the challenge, don't fight it.
Once you know who you are, you'll know who you must be, and what you should be caught doing. Mark that; "The measure of knowledge returns to determine the quality of a life." -TW™

Until the next time I find my pen again, stay in the knowing.

That (il)legal Tender.

"A huge number of humans have their Truth-Reserve/account either fat or static. We rarely withdraw nor spend from it, and will rather run life's transactions with that (il)legal tender, LIES". -TW™ Its not so amazing today how accepted, tolerated, and infact enjoyed (in the actual sense) lies are. Little wonder I chose to coin it as "(il)legal Tender". Illegal tender in every sense of it, yet legal tender judging by the widespread acceptance and employment of it. Why Account? Account owing to the fact that we know the truth, identify it, gather it, but yet fail to employ it, resulting to a mere build up (Account/Reserve) in our hearts, while refusing to spend/transact with it. Note: Truth spent yields even more dividends that truth stored. Why Lie? The "cover my/your arse" mentality/syndrome has taken the good-life over from us, I wonder why on God's earth we left our arses open in the first place, and who told us lies truly covers anyone'

"Meanings Make The Man, His Definitions Define Him"

"Its difficult, if not impossible to respond beyond your heart". How do I mean? "Your conceived, derived and/or imbibed idea of thing, defines your attitude towards it"-TW™ You've always wondered why you act the way you do, react the way you do, or respond to things the way you do. Hey, am not talking temperaments here, the boss (Tim Lahaye) already did, and he "took it to the cleaners'. Even in deceit, its a hard thing to behave/respond to a thing beyond what you think about it, know about it, and the values you have placed on it. Catching a golden mug falling directly towards your head for example is a scenario that captures correctly an aspect of my discourse. There exist a couple of options to this, and believe me, every man could respond differently to this situation. One of the responses to expect, which I know you know already is; Catching the mug, preventing it from hitting your head or even the fall. Another response would be; completely do

You Didn't Deserve To Die, I Didn't Deserve Your Life.

"Though you knew the world won't receive you, you still gave your life to try. Wonderful Jesus, how can I fathom you!" -TW™ What a burden you chose to carry, what a load of Sin. Without my burden, you rode on a donkey, with mine and the whole world's upon you, you decided walking on your feet was better. What manner of man are you? You saw us kill you, yet you allowed it, for you, anything will do, just as long as it'll please the Father. The bruises and the stripes alone was good enough, if it was just about the shedding of blood, you gave it in good quantity through the torture suffered in the hands of the Roman soldiers, you really did not need to die. This was more, this was great, in fact, "Greater love than this no man can give". You paid it all, you laid your life, you paid the ultimate price that I might live. Rejected and abandoned, yet all you saw was me. Disgraced, crucified and killed for a crime you had no hand in, yet all you saw w
