Chp. 1 remix

      Image result for great gatsby 
     their are many things we learnt in chapter one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's book the Great Gatsby, although we know nothing about the great Gatsby & what makes him great  but we do know the narrator, nick who has come home from the great war, only to find it doesn't really feel like home anymore, Nick moves out to a neighborhood know as the east egg, where his dilapidated house is surrounded by mansions, his neighbor is, the Great Gatsby. On his first day there he goes to go eat dinner with a distant relative, whom he barley knows, upon arrival we find that there's a lot more to them than what is stated in the book, subtle inclinations are implied though the dialog , which makes the book a lot more realistic, we get to form our own opinions about the characters as we view them through Nicks stream of consciousness, this book is brilliantly written & wasn't written just for the sake of writing it was written to be a great story & that's all it is, simply a masterpiece celebrated in the literary community, it has even been remixed in a movie that I have yet to see, but nonetheless I look forward to see how the plot unravels & I'm excited to finally meet the Great Gatsby!

A CROW THAT I KNOW.

I looked out the window the other day
& noticed a bird, perched on the roof.
I imagined it was me
I knew it was me
me, but in a different form
I was flapping my feathers
trying to dry them,
it was raining,
but still the weather was ideal
the winds carried my wings I felt free
free to be me.
I was looking for a tree
one that was just for me
one free of other birds
I wanted to be alone,
left to hear my own words
maybe id find a worm to eat,
id swoop down & catch it with my feet.
theirs a little crunch to it, 
so I swallow the poor thing whole
 my kind of funeral.
I really needed a snack
to fuel the restless wings on my back
it seems us birds have a knack
for surviving on just about anything.
tonight id try to shut my eyes
hold on tight
 and hope for a new day.

RESPECT THE LIVING.


       There are those who believe that humans have dominion over all, that we've personally inherited this world. we must take into account the delicate balance between the habitat & its inhabitants. we have grown greedy,  stabbing Mother nature gaining from her pain, leaching from her veins, we've tainted her streams with pollution & gouged her land to create massive cities & factories & slaughterhouses that abuse, torture & murder innocent sentient beings just to feed our bottomless bellies. what has happened to our humanity? We have been deceived, we were taught for the very start to be selfish, they take away our unity, our empathy & therefore our power. They force us to spend our life energy on menial goals, they have hacked the minds of the common man by manipulating the pleasure & reward system in our heads. The thing is we really arn't making any kind of considerable difference were too caught up feeding our own desires, when we learn to care about the prosperity of others we regain our humanity & learn the feeling that coincides with generosity, love. this love is true & there's no greater feeling than knowing you helped somebody who didn't have the means or opportunity to help themselves. If we can simply uplift our fellow human one by one than, in just one day we can change the world...

LOVE YOURSELF.

        everyday as we rise in the morning we face a choice, we set our intentions for the day. and with these subtle decisions we create the course of our future, and what a heavy responsibility that is to have a hand in ones own fate. we may not've of know when we were young the power that truly resides within us. back then we had to be the victims of undesirable repercussions. had we only considered our actions with more scrutiny, but no we were to late; we've been scorned, yelled at & punished all because we didn't think twice, which unwittingly was the choice we made. but ahh there's no greater teacher than experience itself. I didn't know it then but the path I was on and choices I would soon make would have a dramatic effect on the outcome of my life
.
        during the course of my life I have made many  choices, for example when I was about twelve it was revealed to me that the trials I were to face in the coming years could only make me stronger, that all good things take time, and that everything happens for a reason. it was my choice to believe such thoughts and in doing so I have become the optimistic guy I am today. it was when I reached fourteen I learned the power of these certain agreements, I began to see how many of us with our dubious mindsets have fallen into a pit of deception despair & imitation. Much like the one I've sprung from. it seems to me, an apparent truth that all great minds stem from a place of great suffering, and sorrow. however it is from this place I was able to flourish. I reached a point where I started to challenged every thought that was a hindrance to my happiness. I've worked so hard to fill a gaping hole in my heart with the only genuine love I could find. My own, a love that came in abundance. this wasn't easily done, but after I've made the decision to love myself it became progressively easier. I let go of pointless thoughts I began to focus more on the nurturing of my own mind, body & soul. In turn I've learnt how to love myself.  Now this decision alone has drastically changed my life.

       Choosing to love yourself is the single most important decision you could make in your entire life. a wise man once said you don't have to be accepted to accept yourself. Don't worry what other people think. some people go there entire career with out learning to respect themselves. & that's why they cant respect others these are the oppressors of the world, we must fight back with love, unconditional love, les unleash the power of love into our lives, into our family, its infinite, free to share, after all we are alive! and to be alive is to know love... all of life binds together, survival is assured as long as that remains true, we must not forget the connection we have with mother nature & all that she has given to us, only by respecting all of earths living creatures could we ever repay her. love is what binds us all together, its what makes life worth living. So trust me its worth loving yourself, your worth it, never give up, Our work is  not done we must till we land rid it of its weeds so that a garden may flourish.

Emersons Self Reliance.

Something ive learned when analyzing Emeresons letter on Self Reliance is that all humans on earth  have the ability to be creators. emerson goes on to refer to every man as his own star, meaning that each & everyone of us have a devine connection to our higher self. We should leave behind our preconcepions & all things conventional. He also states that children are true geniuses simply because the are not held back by there own lack of faith, kids they're fearless they dare to dream. Emerson believes men are ashamed of the devine idea that they represent, that men only but half express themeslves. Emersons idea of a truly formidable man is one that is unique.

quote from Self Reliance.

"God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope" -Ralph Waldo Emerson.
I couldnt agree more with his words, this quote reflects emersons and howd hed always do his best,.. what soever you heart desires to do do it with all thy might.
