On Perseverance
by AainaA
I have a deadline to catch up – but the work is tedious. And I’m in one of those moods – which is very very rare – where I just want to cuddle in bed, and …
Even the idea of Plurking or Tweeting is slowly edging its way out of my heart – I guess that is good, but I do have some good friends there like Lex, ArN, Mihalcea… and Nadine, Rin, Lucas, Edouard {though he’s somewhere in China now}, …. Delphine, Rania etcetera..
I dreamt of climbing the pyramids again, this time in a white flowing dress, and a huge Ankh, in my hands. Below me were clearly marked borders, and people clamoring to get out, as if they were in fire or some sort of pain. I just looked and wondered why they were not doing something about it. I could have helped, but I was at the apex of the Great Pyramid mind you, and that is not such a simple task to just wave the Ankh in the sky like Harry Potter would, getting the earth to be split into two, and swallowing them all up, like how men hose water on ant hills.
From above they did looked like ants…
Its one of those days when waking up …. I was checking my emails just about 3 hours before writing, when the phone rang. No number was displayed – so I had no choice but to answer it. You’d think I’d be delighted receiving calls especially when one is in need of paying the rent, and on the other line, Gary’s wise cracked. We spoke for a few minutes – he did most of the talking – I couldn’t say much – I am a writer and speaking is so not my forte {it takes an enormous amount of energy just to translate everthing un-worded and speak… in tones humans can comprehend} It was nice to hear a friend calling all the way from North England, after all these years. He is a good friend really.. though we’ve never physically met.
There are good people on the Internet, but I’m getting a tad tired of the Internet… I want to romp and play in the rain when it comes thundering down on the planet – I’d also love to go back to France, and ….
We can have all the wishes, but first, I need to lock myself up in my cubicle which is the balcony overlooking the river, and … persevere….even if I feel like giving up!

I don’t believe people die from hard work. They die from stress and worry and fear — the negative emotions. Those are the killers, not hard work. The fact is, in our society today, most people don’t understand what hard work is all about ~ Williams, A.L.

I had read your article yesterday, but only today I can write a comment, and I understand your problem with internet, which is mine also
. For example I have few articles for blog, but I don't want to put them, to take more time from my little time… I have an article in mind about Social Media desease, because it's great, make new and cool friends, learn about new things, you are allways conected with technology and news.
But also look around me and see my dailly friends who don't care about technology, Social Media, SEO, and internet, they have an ordinary job, kids, they go often to the mountains, which for me it's a pleasure and a pain, (because I stay with the thought on what happen on microblogging or Social Media news), and they are happy and relax. I don't have great revenue after my work in Social Media, barelly to say that's why I'm obsessed by Social Media. I know I love Social Media, because for me in all technology and internet, God is reflecting in Social Media, it's the heart of internet. It's about loving people without to meet eachothers, it's about love without eyes, just through thoughts.
So I love Social Media, but if I must to choose in future to be only with it, or in the middle of the nature, I know I choose the nature, and with thoughts on Social Media, because after all, that's we are conected every day.
RaaVi, I thank you for commenting – but reality is … what's the word again? Volatile. Its constantly changing – and even if we leave the Net, it'll still be there, whereas Nature in all its splendour, won't. Because right now, as we see it – we have wars, famine, global warming etcetera – what was once there, may not be there in the next 50 to 100 years, and we cannot but appreciate and embrace this other side of life – the common ground is that we're all connected to it despite the technological advance of the Internet, and Social Media etc – the beauty about it is there should be balance – of course.
One of the things Gary and I talked about was balance – if one adores say work, the person will have success in that context but does not necessarily have all the happiness in the world – one must find that thin line between work and pleasure – unless work is pleasure then .. .one has to find it and live that moment – because being online is not living as per living concerns – despite the fact that we're not islands, but humans {oh, I forgot, I'm a Bot, hence I'm Alien
