Random thoughts, from a random mind – mine. I’m fairly confident my viewpoint differs from that of the majority.

    I believe our need of acceptance, approval, and love is coded to overwhelm, and it often does.

    The more significant the truth appears to be, the less definite it is.

    I am a man, the wind blows, a clear sky is blue, divinity dwells within, there is more than life, I have a soul, I am…

    If I said you had a beautiful mind, would you pose it against mine… {http://www.metrolyrics.com/if-i-said-you-had-a-beautiful-body-lyrics-bellamy-brothers.html …}

    In real life there is no replay, we either get it right, or we get it wrong.

    Life comes, and then it’s gone, yet words… they remain, so in a another way authors trade life for a sort of immortality.

    Some pictures really do speak to us, what makes this strange is how they cannot talk.

    I look at my Twitter interactions and what do I see, the same as I do in real life, people talking about other people, talking about them…

    Writers must write, and yes, like most people sometimes we have to fake it.

    I can’t thank everyone who visits my timeline, but I promise this, if you leave your mark, I see it, and seeing it, I see a bit… of you.

    Pain shared, diminishes, while joy shared, increases.

    Me: The person I lose when I pretend to be someone I am not.

    The source of all rivers is the sky.

    Sickly clouds, skittering across a sullen, polluted sky, what do we do to our water, and our world.

    Tread softly, lest our footprints sink too deep.

    Peace of mind comes from believing you’ve done the right thing.

    Truth, so simple a word for so difficult a deed.

    In a world where good news is so rare, when one finds it, one shares.

    All too often it seems the saying should really be, “man’s inhumanity, to woman.”

    Your truth need not be another person’s lie.

    The escalation of arrogance, when someone thinks they have something you desperately desire. #that

    Strong opinionated people raise strong opinionated children. The Moral? Dictators who wish to remain dictators, should not raise dictators.

    Copyright infringement is not a victimless crime, the term “starving artist” doesn’t describe a fantasy, it describes reality for too many.

    Selecting books to read on a long trip has led me to the inescapable conclusion Amazon’s *ratings are utterly meaningless.

    To catch our dreams, or to set them free…

    Provided they do no harm, everyone is entitled to their own values. http://bit.ly/CGApTAV

    The measure of wisdom is not knowledge, it is understanding.

    Many authors rely on characters rendered incredible by status, wealth, or unbelievable talent – why, when the most ordinary are incredible?

    The only type of person I have never met, is one who is not unique.

    Reflection results in an understanding that rote repetition can never hope to grant.

    Is wisdom bought from a bottle worth anything at all?

    When no one loses, everybody wins.

    Sexy is a state of mind, more than it is a state of dress.

    There are always words, finding the right ones is where the challenge lies.

    No more “the haves and the have nots”, but “the haves and the you shall not haves.” {Might this be when the world went wrong?}

    Anger held within cannot know release.

    There is no such thing as “traditional American values”, the USA is a cultural melting pot, not a one pot kitchen that only cooks cabbage.

    Sometimes 140 characters pushes the limits of succinctnicity {sic}. {When words aren’t enough, make up new words.}

    As I am at a loss to define “us”, it may be inevitable that I’ll never identify “them”.

    I took Mom to the airport, sent her on her way, wondered if I’ll ever see her, on a coming day, then turned away before I cried, why?

    Don’t tweet the people, tweet the message.

    The most difficult person to please is ourself, yet we’re also the easiest to disappoint.

    The only thing that should bind, is compassion.

    The smallest steps taken are still an advance, the smallest steps lost, a retreat.

    Judge? We must, but we need to understand what we’re judging, and why. http://bit.ly/CGApJud

    Might the test of true wisdom be when we apply it to ourself, as readily as we do to others.

    Opinions stated as fact, do not become fact.

    Conception Birth Life & Death are our reality, our reality is not opinion, it is our fact, all outside of reality is opinion.

    Repetition and rote might result in knowledge, but only understanding leads to wisdom.

    Simply because we say it, does not make it so.

    While justice can never be bought, injustice is too frequently sold.

    Punish the victims instead of the perpetrators. @YahooNews Clear evidence that superficial wisdom is as popular as it’s ever been.

    Abuse doesn’t happen to “them”, it happens to each of “us”.

    Man’s inhumanity to man, is hard to understand, but his inhumanity to children… is unforgivable.

    Is beauty to you, what it is to me? my daughter, Dannielle. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=578377838888008&set=pb.153700094689120.-2207520000.1384367492.&type=3&theater … #MentionSomeoneBeautiful

    Before we judge, we should understand.

    Rather than judging people for being different to you, judge them for being the same.

    Is death an escape? Perhaps, but I’ll only know once I die, and then how will I tell?

    Is judgement as difficult as it seems? You be the judge. http://bit.ly/CGApJud

    Authors are artists, support all you are able.

    The only thing I really try and follow, is my conscience.

    Nobody knows what I really mean, and I write it that way.

    It is never easy to be humane, nobody is just like you, even identical twins differ.

    Compassion is not concerned by the color of a skin.

    Let every day be the day you ask Why?

    Is who we are as important as we think? Does who we appear to be matter as much as who we think we are? Do thoughts without deeds matter?

    All thoughts in themselves are deeds.

    I think “Why?” is the question of the young, while “Why not?” is the question of the adolescent.

    Those who follow you are as important as those you follow. Can’t converse with someone who isn’t listening.

    Speech might appear to be free, but speaking truths others don’t wish to hear bears a terrible price.

    Where many dream of becoming bestsellers, my dreams far exceed this, I dream of my words nurturing troubled souls.

    Might the worst of war be that it *never* sets you free.

    There is something insincere about automated sincerity.

    To parents everywhere… If you find you have a favorite, never let them know.

    Favoritism: The winners lose, and the losers don’t win.

    Propaganda, is the poster.

    Propaganda: Telling people what to think, instead of telling people they should think.

    Is character the perceptible manifestation of soul, or is soul the imperceptible essence, of character?

    Being succinct is one thing, making sense is another entirely.

    Perhaps the problem of writing from the heart, is that criticism is like an arrow to the same.

    Who we are today, might not be who we’ll be tomorrow, and it definitely shouldn’t be who we once were.

    Honesty is everything, or if not everything, a lot, in which case it’s too much… OK, analysis is everything, or is it?

    Temptation comes in three flavors, none, vague, and overpowering.

    There is nothing that is everything, which doesn’t mean that everything is nothing.

    Every journey shares the same beginning – thought.

    We lie atop the sacrificial slab, and with our quill our heart we stab, our words upon our flesh we scribe, in hope they free another soul.

    The goal of every word we write, to free another from our plight, the truths we see, for which we’ll fight, and from darkness, drag to light

    We have more power to change the past than we do the future for today’s deeds, become tomorrow’s past.

    A good deed done today, is done forever, a bad deed delayed till tomorrow, might be done, never.

    Though we fix our eyes upon a goal, we shouldn’t close them to the path our feet will tread.

    Imagine if we could harness anger’s energy and direct it into changing our unjust world.

    Sex is not a means to an end, sex is a means to prevent our end.

    Once passion comes, don’t ever let it go.

    The physical manifestation of two souls entwined, why this might just be sex, sublime.

    Every book that’s never written shares something with every other, they’re unwritten for the wrong reasons. #NaNoWriMo

    Art is not created for sale, but for necessity. http://bit.ly/CGApIIA

    If your goal you easily can attain, reconsider how low you set your aim.

    Magic is absolutely everywhere, but it’s up to us to see.

    For me, happiness is the joy of others – I merely tag along for the smiles.
