The Journey...

indulging in self-gratification can distort your perspective...
what you want in life... what is good in life...
it can also change the way you love things...
love can get selfish... always looking at the gains and not the sacrifice

most importantly, self gratification is pointless...
you get all the highs but only temporarily...
you feel empty after that...
the path in front only leads to the next self gratifying moment...
it is worst than running a rat race... at least, you are doing something different at different parts of the race.

self-gratifying acts come in all sorts of color and kinds.
to some, shouting at another person for personal relief is one...
to others, it may be the thought of being able to get involve sexually...
there are so many other ways and methods of self-gratifications.
while some of these acts may seem morally more wrong than others,
they all stem from the same root... Self-pleasure, self-gain or like i have said earlier, self-gratification

however, being humans, to indulge in self-pleasure/self-gain is a weakness everyone seems to be fighting.
the key word here is "fighting!"
the day we stop fighting it is the day we let these known problems be unknown...
it would be like to have your conscience seared by an iron!

knowing what is wrong is just the first step,
changing is the next logical step...
but the most important step is to defend the knowledge you have against the wrong, which you know!

knowledge brings light to a certain matter...
losing it then bring darkness back to it!

there is nothing wrong with being wrong,
there is nothing wrong with trying to change,
there is nothing wrong with failing at some points,
there is nothing wrong with being disappointed at those failures.
however, something is wrong when you stop seeing the wrongs

i am not writing this to change or teach others...
(though i hope that in doing so, it may help others)
conversely, i am writing this to encourage myself...
to remind myself of the pits that lie ahead of me.
in my sanity, i write to keep me from falling into insanity
throwing markers on the road, building fencing on both sides
as i journey along this winding road called LIFE
