Aveon Flyer: It's intense when people band together and back an idea, be it a good one or bad one
Aveon Flyer: Have you ever seen something like that happen? An idea enters the scene, and people start picking up on it. It gains momentum in a way, and holds the focus of attention
Aveon Flyer: Awareness shifts into the idea, as everyone who participates effectively makes it grow all the while
Aveon Flyer: But then a point is made, and the idea itself shifts
Aveon Flyer: Another point gets made, and the next thing you know, the idea is completely different
Aveon Flyer: Im fookin putting this on my blog

The age of micro conquerors

The micro conqueror complex is when people treat other people to a detriment for the purpose of reaching their own satisfaction just a little bit quicker. Everyone wants to be happy or satisfied, and everyone has their own unique desires. Exploiting the weaknesses or flaws of another persons desire/motivation as a means to get ahead of them, is the behavior of one who is not at balance with themselves or those involved

. Leaving this behavior out of check is the recipe for toxicity, and that's not a good addition to any situation. Such things are the reason why people say "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade". If it's an unavoidable scenario then try fighting fire with fire; meet the exploitation with exploitation. This is my take on it:

Fire on fire

Behavior is an illustration of something that has reflective value. Anytime anyone does anything, it can be traced back to deliberate origins. Knowing this makes higher awareness of a persons experience more likely to occur. I really think that speaks for itself as far as usefulness! I don't need to explain the benefits that  having awareness entails, I simply want to point out that it is the opposite of ignorance. 

Mold the mold

"Breaking the mold" is the same as scraping a project and starting over. But how commonly necessary is this really? There are merits and flaws to every style of everything if you think about it. Nothing is perfect because anything that happens can happen better, to someone or somethings higher benefit and greater good. The compensation for infinite potential is a limited time in which it can be discovered. Isn't that a beautiful circumstance to experience though? That means we can spend our entire life learning and we will always yet have something new to satisfy our curiosity with. We are born curious and helpless. Curiosity and other peoples love and support is what causes us to mature out of helplessness and weakness.

Love is lovely

Sharing love rather than hate is what makes the biggest difference among people. I've seen it too many times to ever be convinced otherwise. We wouldn't even be close to where we are today as a species if it were not for the driving forces of love. Hate can be strong, and violence stronger, but tolerance and wisdom will be what saves us from the evils in the world. I truly believe that :)

Emotion Spectrum Wheel

Behold, facebook. The emotion spectrum wheel. Study it and learn how to spin yours personally. Because why be sad when...

My Philosophy

To rid myself of anxiety, and help others with a similar desire for such a thing. As well as see the benefit in everything, whether we have to create the beneficial elements ourselves or not. But to do nothing in a way that baselessly disrespects another individual. Self defense doesn't mean instigate violence. Be honest and don't lie ever (be conscious of your own lies, otherwise you wont be conscious of other peoples lies!).  People have a right to practice silence, as well as a right to tell someone else to shut the fuck up. Don't take it personally that other people are more sensitive than you, in a given situation. Leave the harmless person to their own devices, or expect the possibility of hostile defense when they receive interference. Nobody likes to be rudely interrupted. Words shouldn't transpire into murder, or something to that degree. Words should only be used to further manifest good ideas.

We are responsible for how we are as characters. Think about yourself in third person. What you are is molding clay that you have shaped yourself. Other people may have stuck a finger in while the clay was being sculpted, but it's nothing we can't continue to smooth over! Progression of the world is inevitable, which means our own personal worlds should behave accordingly. The style of behavior will be different for everyone, so it's important not to focus on what we don't like about that. We should instead hold our attention up to the positives, and how elements of a unique style can serve a higher good. Or even just an immediate type of good! 

"You think too much"

My friends and family tell me I think too much. There really isn't a point during my experience where I'm NOT thinking about something, so given just that, I can understand where they are coming from. However I believe it is necessary to think as much, and the way I do. Not for everybody or even anybody else, but for myself. I only have my brain, my body, and my past. A lot of it is shared with a lot of people, that is those who are/have been close to me and those who aren't. Every individual I have ever had experience with plays a part in my personal development. But my development wouldn't be, without another important factor: me lol.

I grew up around people with fundamental beliefs that "we are here on this earth to help others". And I grew up to find out that we can't help others unless we help ourselves first. So I would often find out that people with their hearts in the right place, didn't have their minds there too. I see it when people talk about how wonderful their religion is, but anyone against it is somehow making a mistake that WILL land their soul in hell. Or when people use patriotism as justification to be chauvinistic (assholes basically). Two wrongs don't make a right, it makes a MESS. And the people who wanted nothing to do with either side to begin with, are left to clean it up. 

Anybody in that situation would be upset! Imagine entering your new room to find it completely destroyed, as if a tornado went right through. And in the middle of the mess you find 2 children fighting each other. Children you didn't create or adopt, with no one to claim responsibility for them.  That's the type of scenario too much patriotism and emphasis on nationality creates, in a sense. We are alive in that type of scenario right now, and too many people are too self righteous to accept it for change. So I feel like we're stuck in a rut until that improves.

I by NO means want to imply I am not one of the assholes making things suck. I'm not TRYING to make things worse, I'm trying to make things better (for myself and others). But I realize with all the potential any individual has, we all only have our lives to realize such potential. In that sense we are limited, infinite beings. Infinite in potential, but not in life span.

Also I would rather live with patriots than terrorists. 

Center point to organization is the 'individual' element

Every form of human organization has foundations in thought structure - within the brain. These patterns of thought formulations are manifested through a social mentality, and result in behavior which would be the physical element. The change to environment (or setting) is the spiritual element on a side note. So the mental element is where this hierarchy seems to begin, and should be decently treated as if it's the platform for ones first step. Think about how you would go out of your way to make sure a new born has a nice first step in life! If you feel that thought, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. Treat your mind right first, if you want to treat the rest of your self right. Think honestly, and act honestly. Build your social circle through honest individuals. Spoil your brain with truth so you can properly learn things! Enough said really. That's the first step and as these things go, the most difficult (generally). The rest kinda falls into place
