No Affinity

Let the lackluster be most content in itself and not spin-off in either of our directions because we have absolutely no affinity with it that we should be nourishing and congenial with it nor allow it to setup camp anyplace near our mental gates. Let that which is of a like nature tend to its own personal business and let those who are not of its orbits go freely towards everything that is possible and not be confronted by a lackluster snare that only wants to draw as many as it can into its non-ambitions and despair. We have both sipped from the cup handed to us and one sip of its bitter contents is one sip quite enough to intake for we are not of those who relish to languish in woes and the approaching of an opened arms lackluster is an insult and an offense that is highly unwelcome by both of us. We neither have the want or the need to know details and names of the luster that lacks purpose and our sabers are drawn to inflict damage if a steady encroachment makes that action unavoidably possible to defend ourselves against unwanted infringements.

There is no affinity between the moving and the still and no wisdom in attaching reverence upon human made objects that termites can quickly devourer and must be maintained with a relentless counterattack to keep insects from overpowering. The lackluster is a state of mind that can only be conquered by positive recognition of its implant and a willingness not to accept it as an inhabitant of any area of the mental domain that it has seeped its way into by a toehold and if allowed to fester the lackluster has the propensity to drain the mind and the body of energy that makes everyday living tiresome and laborious. As part of our mind/body armor we have decided to arm ourselves with a positive outlook even in the tailwinds of the unemotional and the bleak that thumbs its nose at our decision and attempts to persuade us that it is not our upward mobile enemy because we individually and collectively have weathered many eyes of many storms and as of yet have not toppled like an inadequately constructed seawall and with this to reinforce our courage we can look beyond the set in place and see change for the better already in motion just the same.

The lackluster has its very own unique spring of tears that it induces that are different than those of say regrets, loneliness, sorrow and the such and they are tears that are heavily infested with self-pity that acts as a motive to keep them running down the face and or from the eyes of the mind but we have determined that these tears are solely a waste of moisture that gets nothing accomplished and are not really that useful to even drown themselves in so in order to render them as out of date we let them run from the area that they originates into another area of the mind that holds the reservoirs of smiles that soaks them up before they can stream to other areas of thought and become self-propelled and self-generating and this is done by seeing them exactly for what they are as watery bars of self-confinement that pollutes the present at a glance and cannot see past the deluge of the waterfall into any aspect of a brighter future that faith and diligence can generate.

The justice of the lackluster is a crude form of self-destruction that slowly and unevenly grinds the individual down until the whole disappears without a sound leaving but a shell of a person that continues to live but we have determined that we shall not go out like this and have fortified our sentiments to promote this for there is no real justice in the lackluster approach to living and a slow demise is emotionally costly on both family and friends. We have seen the rains come and we have seen them go and getting soaked in a downpour is not the end of the world as we know it and this we keep in mind as an incentive to keep moving onward with umbrella's at the ready and minds positively opened. The lackluster comes in all shapes and forms but most of all it is carried on the backs of those who so choose to load it and thusly will not be unloaded until the backpacker is weary of carrying it and so we have implemented a no burdensome load agenda that stops the lackluster in its tracks before it can become attached and this has proven itself to be a useful guard against a stagnating mind and the first alert in dispositional safekeeping that good thoughts are inclined.
