[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 205864, member: 14641"] As my marriage finally nears its err finality, what was once a home, is now just a house, what was once a family, is now no more than just several people that just do not get on, so at 46, once again, I find myself single, alone, well not quite alone, I still have all the other Harry's, the clown, the wolf, so not quite alone. I'm tired, sleepy, I do not get a good nights sleep at the moment, its hard sleeping next to someone that represented your future, but now only represents the past, its quiet today, just David Gray playing on the music computer, plenty of work to do, its piled up, I watch couples walk in the park, am I jealous? no, not really, I feel I have something far more valuable, freedom, freedom from having others be responsible in any way for my happiness, freedom from being manipulated, freedom from guilt trips, and freedom from this manacle that people seem to be so very keen to shackle themselves to, I believe its called love. For a long time I could never understand why, in Sikhism, the love bond seemed only acceptable if it were with Creator, or if it were with Creator and another person, Anand Karaj, as, in my view, having a relationship with Creator is having a relationship with the self, but now I do understand, a quote keeps going round and round in my head:- Those who give with all their heart, without fear of destruction, in books, are known as romantics, in real life, however they are known as the insane. so what now, well its probably a good time to review what we have learned so far, and put it into practice, most of it is quite easy, and having spent the last 5 years stuck in this shop every day for 13 hours at a time, has caused me to be quite shut off from what I could call normal society, I almost have a child like innocence at why people do things, wear things, want things, I do not want for anything, certainly not for love, nor company, nor cars, houses, even money, I have full acceptance, but only to a point, 'it is what it is' remains my most hated saying, preferring 'it is what ever I wish it to be', so what does a man do, who wants for nothing, who is on the whole, content with nothing, who fears nothing, I suppose a good answer would be 'nothing'. but doing nothing is being dead, and I am not dead, nor do I have any wish to be, so I have to start to live, which is hard, as living is by default, playing the game, but once you have seen the game from above, once you have seen how pointless and ridiculous it all is, its hard to play, I have no doubt I could be a game player par excellence, but it is not what I want.
