Good People

Good people is like the glue that binds together this world falling apart. With every good deed, they infuse life with a charge of light that brightens the darkness under which we live. Yes, we live in a dark age of our own.
What? You think people in the Middle Ages envisioned themselves as living in a time of darkness? To them, like to oh so many today, it was about God's moody ways.
Rightfully, it isn’t quite as bad as it used to be, but again some of that we owe to good people, a dash of genius here or there, and a lot of patience and perseverance. Patience is not passive; it’s not about sitting and wishing for things to materialize out of nothing. That is just a fable. And even fables, take effort and consume vital time. Time you can’t do without; indulge often and work hard. Don’t waste the precious days, if not doing what matters to you most. While reaping the rewards, remember to plant the seed anew, you will sow what you cultivate, water and nurture to fruition. And when the time comes around, don’t hesitate to fully enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Good things, like good people, take time. It takes effort, if you want to be in shape, lead a healthy and prosperous life, it takes strategic planning and carrying it through. It takes character, what we call “goals” are not achieved without balls. Calm balls, balls of masculine essence, of purpose and direction, of sacrifice. Life isn't fruity; it isn't too sour either... At least to those of us who reside in the Middle Path. We crave center, the least sweet so that we don't grow coy, and quietude. We reside in our own reality, we celebrate others handsomely and often, and we protect our family.
