living within the element of persistence

persistence should be a virtue for many regardless of where we stand at in life.  you see people who are beyond successful or popular.  you see people who feel more accomplished.  they allowed themselves to be persistent.

for most people, often, persistence can shoot you in the foot.  it’s a balance of swords, daggers, and knives.  the right sets will keep you in place, but one mistake can be harmful or fatal without warning.  as immediate as you let on to believe.

in my case, persistence is like a virus wanting to live, but it has side effects that stop you in your tracks.  conditions, feelings, instincts.  perspectives skewed, communications lacking quality, quantity, or in an overall matter, a strong connection.  in terms of user-end agreement, i accept the long distance charges.  if it’s going to help me live my life, so be it.

for those of you who may disbelieve the idea of persistence, it’s a value you should learn, but also to justify what persistence is like, do not overuse it like an ingredient in your after-dinner dessert, because you’ll be losing the pure flavor you intend on having.  this is especially important in such ideas and ideals as gay marriage.  MANY homosexuals are not aware of how far they are taking things and how strongly they fuck themselves in their own ass regardless top, bottom, versatile, or the in-betweens, for how they are presenting their case like a judge judy trial.  she is one rough bitch, but she will tell you straight to your face whether or not she believes you, and she will make it apparent if you are dumbfounded or just a straight up liar… i’d tell every homo i had the chance to tell that they really do not have a clue that they all are doing the hit-and-miss game.  they get some points across but mostly they don’t, which comes to giving them wounds that heal, but how they wish to treat the wounds is their decision.  there almost is no true cooperation.  organized leaders in the groups, cults, religions, sects, communities… anything you wish to associate by “label”, they all need one.  it is not god, not buddha, not the lord jesus christ, satan, muhammed, fucked-up-in-the-head president george w. bush, or the mayor of los angeles… it is each and every individual supervised under the power of one or such.

this is where persistence pays off, to have leaders who know the game plan, who can take the game by the controller and lead to a victory.

this is how i see everyone’s persistence will pay off, and as well in turn, mine is due to pay off.  it is only a matter of time before people ultimately realize this is a source from within that will unlock many doors that they all need to see ultimately to their end.  they hold the key, so they’re responsible for their own doors.  sometimes, they’re responsible for others’.

hope this gives you some insight as much as i’ve had it for a few days and decided to share.

    Nicely done, Leo! I will confess here too that i somehow mistook the authorship as SamBach’s… and, in retrospect, am a bit bemused and appalled at the degree to which i indulged in “character criticism”… not criticism of character:), but a review of a work within the context of at least “awareness” of the presumed personality of the author… as i trailed down the sometimes brambly, sometimes marble path of thought.

    a couple expressions from #gayportland:

    i admire the form. it smacks of classic essay.
    yup
    reminds me of my best friend my senior year in high school… it’s rather his style

    i was amused that “you” would trip into a beat kinda stream of consciousness and deftly return

    The post is, as Sam says, “provocative”. I am interested in Leo personalizing the somewhat abstractly presented concept (well, yeah, concepts tend to be rather abstract:))of “persistence”…. i think some experiential reference would lead to a somewhat more familiar landscape wherein the visitor can feel a little more “grounded” as he explores the delightful garden.

    I have enjoyed your post a great deal, Leo, and look forward to the next!
