Emotions versus Intellect

Standing in the Badlands a week ago, there was a possibility for endings to come, but the reality is that every person lives life with at least this much -- is it real or just perceived?

Our emotions can get the best of us when we don't know enough to understand the final action or decision. This happens frequently in relationships where one partner expects the other to know how to do things that need done but is not capable to do the work on her own. It also happens that old models infiltrate our thinking and he doesn't do his work to support her either at home or in her career.

Truly, this is the reason for so many failed couplings, marriages and so on. We live with these old notions and still want to feel free under the new models. Competing visions destroy US.

At the same time depression as an illness continues to infect the populace. Again, I don't think that it has to do with people or machines. Standing in the Badlands of SD clears that from one's mind. But more often than not we do not have that opportunity and the world just beats us down. It can happen with the smallest comments. It is just about the subtleties and the connotations, but it soon becomes the reality.

I for one have traveled the suicide path in the past. I have friends and relatives that were successful. I will not live that way. The problem with the world is the world's problem. I am fine regardless of how sick I might be. I will not adopt their thinking. I may be alone. I am ok with that. I can be alone with others.
