Someone once said, ~Sometimes being understanding is more important than being right. Sometimes we need not a brilliant mind that speaks but a patient heart that listens...not keen eyes that always sees fault but open arms that accept...not a finger that point out mistakes but gentle hands that lead!~ Without a doubt, life is all about trying to figure out and get a substantially firm understanding when it pertains to our individual journey that each one of us are traveling on, so to speak. Essentially, it's through understanding that can most definitely be considered a powerful weapon to wield as if it were like a sharp sword to cut straight through or into the evential truth among all the BS in regards to figuring out/making sense for ourselves this topsy turvy word called life itself.
If you think about it, it can often seem that life doesn't make sense and trying to even get any sort of keen understanding of it ends up leading to absolute utter confusion. Of course, what makes it an incredibly difficult or potentially helpful situation indeed is either listening to or talking with other people as they share their own life experiences. For the most part, its just a matter of being able to take bits and pieces instead of all of what's been share in order to have your very own unique understanding in how you see, react, as well as do things concerning situations in life that test you personally, mentally, emotionally, and not to mention spiritually. In other words, creating your own path in being to understand what's absolute truth and a total lie by experiencing and possibly learning from it for ourselves.
As I said before, understanding that can most definitely be considered a powerful weapon to wield as if it were like a sharp sword to cut straight through or into the evential truth among all the BS in regards to figuring out/making sense for ourselves this topsy turvy word called life itself. Thinking about it further, we can find ourselves being constantly bombarded by so many voices in our ears by people either pointing fingers, speaking out what they believe is fact, and blaming others in hopes of swaying/pulling you to their side. True, it can certainly be a tremendous headache in sorting through all the chaos coming at you all at once like a massive horde of negativity to the point where the battle against it has been tiring, treacherous and not to mention so relentless it seemingly never ends.
Personally speaking I'm still trying to get a better understanding of life by constantly asking questions, writing them down, and then blogging about it for other people to ponder/question the topic for themselves. True, even though I may not have or know all the answers, I'm doing my best to swing my sword otherwise known as a mechanical pencil and mentally slice through the primordial BS of negative chaos to seek, understand, write down my observational truth. Will I stumble? Sure and I have. Has it felt overwhelming? You bet. Do I think I'm way over my head? All the time. Will I ever give up the fight? Not a chance. What it primarily comes down to is being open to failure, having the humility to own up to our mistakes then having the desired determination to correct it after attaining a much deeper understanding because of it.
Proverbs 4:5 says ~Get wisdom, get understanding; forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.~ In retrospect, wisdom doesn't happen without attaining understanding from the minor or major mistakes pertaining to life experiences. Life experiences that are considered to be an ongoing, chaotic and to mention scary battle so never lay down your sword because the odds are stacked up against you. Instead, stand your ground despite the fear in order to face those insurmountable odds with sword in hand because if you don't you won't ever be able to slice/stab/cut through and get to heart of the truth what it may be for you. In the end, understanding is a three edged sword where the voices of right and wrong are standing on either side of you, but the truth is right in front of you to fight your way towards.
