The Truth, The Beautiful

Found this on others blog's, think of sharing it.


It is a terrible beauty to want something that you simply cannot have, to think yourself capable of achieving something you simply aren’t capable of. This is something that bothers me quite a lot, as it relates to some important people in my life. A great deal of effort expended, but sad to say not a great deal to show for it. All in the expectation of a big future pay-off, as impossible as it is. A man who thinks so highly of himself in the hustle and bustle of business, yet was there ever a man as foolish as he?

The belief is not lacking, the vision crystal clear. A decent man with a good heart, but there the tributes stop. For it is pride that eats at the core of one’s good character, a pride that lets you think you are so much better than most when in fact this is far from the case. A man possessing this trait, along with a fantastical ignorance of how the real world works, is a recipe for financial disaster no matter how you look at it. And so much the worse when the sheer madness of it all is within a family, damaging the warmth and joy that lies beneath charged emotions.

To sort through this mess, to minimize the damage done and salvage what scarce value remains is my preoccupation. For I seek solace in positive creation, in my constant search for the good, the true, the beautiful.
