“There is a fuzzy but real distinction that can and I believe should be made, between patriotism, which is attachment to a way of life, and nationalism, which is the insistence that your way of life deserves to rule over other ways of life.”— Todd Gitlin

Thought for Today

“Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain… To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices – today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it”.

Thought for Today and a Few of My Own

“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”
― Joe Klaas, Twelve Steps to Happiness

Yes, it will — do both things. I remember one of my college classes, The God Man Christian Experience. It was basically a class on Christian Mysticism, not from so much an historical perspective as from a personal one. Everything I was was exposed to during this class made perfect sense, which really ticked me off, because it was not what I had been taught to believe. I began to work through it and eventually reached a new place in my spiritual life — well beyond where I had started from.

So if you are awakening and are experiencing anger with the new way of looking at things that is being presented to you, take a deep breath and relax. The truth really will set you free — after you calm down and accept it for what it is.

Thought for Today

“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.”
― Jim Morrison
