Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing

The Community

Many times in our lives we have found ourselves part of a click.

Often we reside in the those communities of comfort. Surrounding ourselves with people of like thoughts, actions, or common denominators. Breaking out of the mold is often hard for individuals to grasp. Moving freely among clicks often brings discomfort to one's foundation. Easing into different situations is often a daunting task. Many lose sleep with uneasy feeling of how we can take a step in the opposite direction. Do I want to? Do I need to? What benefits will it garner me?

Taking a melting pot mentality is often not accepted. Have we actually come to the point in our lives where we only can reside within our security blanket of community? Community by definition can be split between: 1)A group of people living in the same locality and under the same government 2)Sharing, participation, and fellowship. The comparison of 1 & 2 couldn't be more further apart than actually taking the step to open ourselves to a new world of difference.

Amazing to ponder what if? Exciting? Addicting? Adverse? How often do you map out a plan to step outside your comfort zone? Or is that security blanket so tight that you can't actually inhale the fresh air? The fresh air of a new experience of life. How about two steps? Really walking that blank of life to see what's at the end? Cutting-edge? Regressive? How would you know if you didn't even consider it? 'It' equals forward progression. 'Forward progression' doesn't amount to ass backwards. Ass backwards is only the thoughts that don't allow you movement through your security blanket.

Let it go. Open your eyes. One foot in front of the other. Don't let the door hit you in the ass. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
