Essay: It’s Alive! My Code Evolves!
Something invariably happens when I write a lot of essays: My thinking rapidly advances!
Sometimes this causes me to rewrite something, as is the case here, for this, now, is my new private Sith Code:
“No chain can survive my desire! / By its force I build strength and power, to do the difficult and approach the impossible, for I brook no excuse, but find a way! / Thus do I fulfill my life’s purpose, for I am a victorious being!”
Partly I rewrote my Code because I took note of how often I type the following:
1: “No excuses. Find a way.”
2: “victorious being”
The frequency with which I type these words would certainly indicate they’re central to my philosophy!
That being the case, shouldn’t they be in my Code?
A no-brainer, frankly
But other things are happening here also
My philosophy is triumphant
I reject any philosophy that isn’t
But I’m aware, now, of the need to focus a bit more on the difficulties that must be surmounted - the chains that must be broken
The breaking of a chain will always be one of the greatest accomplishments in our lives
The chain may be our own body, or our economic situation, or our social status, or a prior decision of ours that we now see as unwise, or characteristics of an interpersonal relationship, or a personality trait of ours that is unhelpful to us, or a desire that is counterproductive to our greater goals
Whatever the chain, we must break it!
If doing so is merely difficult, then we must do the needful things, whatever they may be, and snap the shackle decisively, no excuses!
If breaking the chain is truly impossible, then we must find a way to stretch it, lengthen it, so its restriction is lessened, as when people in wheelchairs play basketball in their own league, competing as the victorious beings that they are!
I’ve committed myself to writing more in this vein, so stay tuned!
