Furthering Consciousness

"Another example of inappropriate expression of feelings is what many consider compassion: if someone is suffering or unhappy, we think that compassion says we should join him/hers in her/hers misery. This is not compassion, this not truly loving or caring. Instead of having one lying on the floor crying, now there are two. Responding to anothers suffering as if it were our own is not compassion." Maharishi Sadashiva Isham

This is somthing i have believed for a long time, but many people don't understand me for. I thought this explained my position well.

The Carpal Tunnel Diaries

It makes me sick, a lust so powerful I will sit back in a voyeuristic glare...

I stare so pervertedly at the screen only knowing it to be a desire I can not fulfill.

Nothing else fills my mind as I am always lead back to this place.

It is a place of comfort, belonging, and a place where I rule above all others, my power abstract and infinite.

No critiquing glares are cast my way for I command all.

Any trouble that does result is by method of my own doing. Therefore an adjustment in my technique and execution and my problems are solved.

I suppose reality is a place confined to basic principals such as these, but then I realize there is nothing absolute about it. It is a world often far, far, beyond my control.

Is it this I fear?
