We are in thought wise & sublime, in word & deed silly & selfish
Utter the great sentiment of the world against your own private one. All men are judges, when the matter concerns not them.The Universal tide rises in our cellar,—in every man’s, heart high; but the little private puddle of the Blood trickles to the tongue & the finger ends. We are in thought wise & sublime, in word & deed silly & selfish.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks 5:484
The Idea of Life is to live it to the fullest. So every man has a tough job-we all have a huge amount of exploring to do. We take one step forward and if it is one step back we really didn’t go very far. However if we remember all these steps in subconscious memories we can put into automatic reactions to similar problems.Even with all these lessons we are subject to being human and at the same time we must pay for our way of life.
If we have a good break in knowing other people who can help us or just a clever eye we can take many steps forward and none backward- this is what is called getting ahead. The trick is – having a creative mind ! And to put a creative mind to test sometimes society is not ready to embrace the finished product because the finished product has to be “on time with time” and related as a needy.
The creative act sometimes is a destructive act- as the creator is in charge of everything imaginable including subtraction- addition- multiplications vs. divisions. But you must be on time with time to see what your times really need and reap benefits. Then you may be living life to the fullest and ahead of the times and making music with your heart.
