Grr's blog: "Grr Muses"

Why does it seem that no matter what you do, someone has an opinion about it? Quite frankly, I don't give a goddamn WHAT anyone thinks of me. I never have. But it infuriates me when people who are literal non-entities in my life decide that they can judge me on ANYTHING. The reality is that this is my own life, and I intend to live it my own way. I will never waver on that stance, and I don't feel that anyone else should either. We all have different ways of deciding whether or not we are living a fulfilling life, and mine is pretty simple: If I can lay down in bed at night, looking at the events of the day, and say that I did as well as I could for not only myself, but for those around me, then to me I have accomplished much. I'm not that guy that needs a world full of stuff. I just want to know that I helped in some fundamental way. In bed at night, I want to know that I made a difference, however small it may be. Because someone has to. And if not me, then who? That's not to say there are not many others that feel the same way, but that does mean that I won't look at an individual in need and think 'oh, someone will help them'. We all need to back our fellow man, and help how we can, and where we can. We need to stand for something, and stand STRONG in that. We need to look outside of ourselves, and see that there is a great big world out there, and it's not our world. We are just visitors in it. We have no real entitlement in this life, aside from the pursuit of happiness. Why not find your happiness in helping others find theirs?
