I need to feel a part of the whole; however, the way in which I function is dependent, all too often, on the influence of other people. I lack that inner strength and courage to be able to make my own decisions. It is far easier to move with the crowd than to choose my own direction. But is the crowd always right? Can I justify a wrong act by counting the number of people performing that act? There seems to be a great deal of duality within me.
I do not want to feel left out, but yet there are many things I disagree with which are alien to my nature. I know that peace is important, and yet I give support to peace less and violent activities. I understand the value of happiness, but I cling with mindless abandon to that which causes sorrow. Anyway, who wants to be singled out as being different, as being weird?
To see what is right and not to do…is this how I want to live? Can I experience true stability if my mind tells me one thing and I do something else? I try to gather my thoughts every now and then, and to see what strength is there in virtue and how much virtue in strength of thought. I ask myself what I really want, that which is perishable or imperishable? The choice is mine.
