Life As An Elevator*
A Novel
By D. Witt
Chapter Six
The wages of sin are death, We are all sinners, We are born to die. The
important somethings became insignificant nothings when the beginnings
met the end. There are some things in life though that really do
matter. Being happy is one of them. The actual feeling of happiness is
real to me. I continuously pursue it. Whatever makes you happy, do it.
Never do anything because someone else says it is "the right thing to
do". Instead, follow your heart and do it because you feel like it and
want to do it and live with the consequences. You will either be given
credit or you will have to shoulder the blame for what results in the
end.
I never do something because someone tells me that I am supposed to do
it. I always follow my heart. I do things because I sincerely and
truely want to do them. Karma plays a big role in determining my
actions. I know what goes around comes around. As long as my actions
show respect for another, I am willing to live with the results. I will
claim ownership for my behavior.
My body is only a sack of meat and bones, the purpose for which is to
encase my soul, my "you". "You" is sloshing around inside of my human
form. "You" is my intuition, frame of mind, common sense, heart of
hearts, or mind's eye. All of it is wrapped-up inside of me. I call it
"you" and you call it "me". "You" controls my decisions and has the
final word.
"You" lives in either of two realms, good or evil. The two options are
good intentions or bad intentions. Good intentions result in feeling
happy. Bad intentions result in feeling sad. I weigh each decision
carefully. I discern each situation on its own merit. Intellect and
logic do not play a part in the process at this stage. Logic and
intellect twist my mind like a pretzel leaving my thoughts where I
began and still without an answer.
My senses serve as receptors.I know that my senses are capable of
registering only a tiny portion of what is around me. I know that there
is alot more going on than I will ever be able to perceive in a
lifetime. What I taste, feel, hear, smell, or see is all that I know.
My actions are based on choice. What I choose is determined by my
intentions.
