what i am is what i am - is what i am - is what?

Life - Since signing up at Vox my pages have gradually amassed content. None of it really planned in any manner and most of it just reflects what comes into my world. My world is no different to any other vox member. The media that I encounter is though. To some degree that is personal. We do not all have the same tastes and interests. It is often those that dictate what I load. I am subjected to media from many sources and some of those sources are choice. I choose to view news media because I need to know what's going on around the world. I am not one of those people that would rather turn a blind eye and live a life of relative luxury wrapped in cotton wool thinking I am fine so why disturb my life with serious issues that do not effect me. That's too easy to do, I just can't do the.... I'm alright Jack... thing. Just because I choose to deal with serious issues does not mean I am strictly serious about everything. Some have deemed me to be angry and feel that some of my posts are obtuse. That's fine but accept this. I can not make war, famine, starvation, environmental decline, suppression, militias, death and destruction taste sweet and read like a majestic poem. Please accept that I can not react to such things in a 'this is great way' - that would be absurd.

I can assure though that I never post in anger. I learned many years ago that Anger does not serve any purpose at all. Anger is an enraged volatile state of emotion that results in stress and nothing is gained by it. I do not do Anger but at the same time I do not do Ignorance and I refuse to wear blindfolds. I refuse to remain silent and I refuse to stand aside and make no comment about all the evils that plague our planet. I sincerely believe that our planet is a beautiful place and it is filled with beautiful things and beautiful people. The world is full of delight, it's incredible and damn right amazing, it's that which turns me on. The Universe we live in is astonishing and wonderful, so stunning that it manages to make smile as I cry because at times I am simply overwhelmed by it's power. So please consider that regardless of the serious issues that I sometimes deal with at vox in posts, I remain far from from anger and though the subject is serious, it does not mean I am always serious. I am actually a very calm natured and well grounded individual. I do discussion rather than argue. I talk and do not shout. I avoid confrontation but refuse to let anyone even think about walking all other me. I am not anti-establishment but I am opposed to many of their actions. I am not anti-america but I do detest the Bush Administration and I am anti-war - that includes Iraq, war is pure evil and I am anti-evil. I am not full of hate and venim. I am full of soul and good intent. Enough. Time for some Janet as I am still in that mood.
