State your intentions

Thurgood Marshall, an American jurist and lawyer once said:

Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experience is the intent behind the words.

When we intend to do good ~ we do.

When we intend to do harm, it happens.

What each of us must come to realise is that our intent always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it.

What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.

And I cannot help but reflect on his words, and its meaning to ChemicalShooter's existence, and the words of a wise-woman said over lunch today. For as much as we say that it was nothing, it never is nothing.

I guess I have to sit and ponder... do I really wanna know where I stand.. or is where I'm standing fine enough for me? Are things really all that black and white, or am I imagining it to be turning grey? And if it is really turning grey, am I alright with dealing with grey areas and leaving my cards behind?

Questions. Questions. Questions.

I wish I had the wisdom of Mr Marshall. Maybe then, I would have the answers to these questions.

Maybe all will be clear once I acknowledge what my intent is.

Maybe I need to cut all wires and be a mini-mouse.
