nobody knows

Now, I hate to begin by disagreeing with you, lucyvic…

But confronting your fears makes you ANYTHING but weak, in fact, it makes you strong, and courageous beyond the measure of most.

I’ve never met you, but I’d ask why you think you’re ugly…and I’d repeat something I;ve already said once today so far–the great poet John Keats famously wrote “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,” and you seem to look inward and see the truth about yourself, or at least seek it out as unpleasant as that might be for you…

Not only is that a show of fortitude and mental strength, it’s a show of intellectual beauty in the search of truth, and there’s NO beauty more stunning than that of a mind and spirit such as yours in pursuit if itself and honest with itself before a mirror.

How can you call yourself stupid, then, when all that I’ve stated above points to a very sharp (if very confused and perhaps troubled) lady?

How can you call yourself lazy when you’re so rigorously asking these questions of yourself and searching for the answers?

As for fat…who cares? Quite frankly, madame, it doesn’t matter how fat or skinny you are, the measure of your waistline is NOT the measure of the breadth nor the depth of your character nor the quality of your persona, and THAT is what counts; moreover, as you’ll see, THAT is what true majesty, wonder and beauty is.

You’re an honest person.
You honestly say you put up a happy front for the benefit of others–
Understandable, so few care to stop and ask a stranger why they’re glum…
However, I’m one of those few, so please, by all means…

You say you don’t have good reasons to end your life, and I would hope so, it doesn’t seem like yours is a life that should be cut short, and that others have it worse than you, and that’s a very aware and noble statement for you to make (one more sign you ARE worthwhile and give yourself far too little credit) but may I ask–

What is is, what are those things that have you troubled, then?
What’s brought you here?
To this site, and this frame of mind, and to this point in your life?

Think about that, let me know, let us know…let yourself know…

Because change first manifests itself in the imagination and the mind, madame…

And before your life changes, your view of yourself HAS to change.

Take it from me, as stated above:

You’re not lazy,
You’re not stupid,
You’re not weak,
You’re not ugly,
And NO ONE with even a shred of value on this Earth cares if you’re fat, skinny, white, black, green or blue or tangerine all over…

That’s NOT what makes you beautiful…and people like you, trust me–in your own way, that awareness and that willingness to see yourself and challenge your views and be self-critical in a way the vast majority of this vapid, vacuous, shallow society has neither the patience nor the presence of mind to pull off…

You ARE beautiful in your acceptance of and search for the truth.

I knew the world wouldn’t end yesterday, and I’m glad–

I and so many billions of others have full lives to lead yet…

Join us, won’t you please–and take all that to heart?

Now, if you want…how about you tell what you feel comfortable telling…
A bit about yourself,
Or what you’re feeling right now,
Why you feel these things,
What’s brought you to this point…

Go ahead and share–

The world didn’t end yesterday, but maybe we can work together to start a new world for you today.
