| post | Frenetic Scribblings #26: Fear, philosophy and (in)consistency | 2017-12-27 |

Use fear as guide when you burn your path.
If you are afraid, if you are uncertain — it means you’re doing something right. If you are uncertain of a decision, it means that you care enough about the outcome.
Use fear as a guide, but don’t let it consume and paralyse you. Don’t let it stop you from living.
This is something I am still working on. But that’s ok. Life and self are works in progress. Things like ‘perfect’ and ‘complete’ don’t exist. Contextual perfection, however, is possible.
Strive for progress, not perfection — UnknownI once again feel torn. My life philosophy is back-and-forth. Often contradictory. I’ll advise patience one moment and explosive action the next. A large part of what Scribblings and my other writings are is my trying to figure out the big questions (and the little ones too). Sharing my journey of simultaneous self-discovery and world exploration.
But more and more I’m coming to the conclusion that trying to define ‘my view’ is like trying to define love. My view…isn’t. It’s one thing one moment, and another the next. It’s one thing on one hand, and something different another.
In other words, I find it near impossible to have a cohesive and consistent view. And maybe that’s just fine. Because since when has life been cohesive and consistent?
Damn the past. It’s got nothing new to say.
Damn the future. It hasn’t happened yet. Might not.
There is only this moment and the next.
Maybe one day I’ll figure it out. Figure out life…and everything. I doubt it. Dealing in absolutes isn’t my thing. Either way, signing off.
Thought for the day: Atticus Finch — [Courage is] when you know that you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
