I wise man told me today..

[TraceOneInfinite]

Do not be depressed about losing falsehoods
You should be grateful for the truth
Be grateful for gaining truth about a world
you didn't know existed as it does, before/
You are undergoing a magical transformation
and soon you will be a butterfly that's breaking
Up out of the cacoon and you gone make it/

You said you were being naive
But in actuality you were seeing good
You saw the light but not the lamp
And now you say your light was clamped/
But really you only just went to prove
that you can be in bad and still see good/

So think good thoughts about
the experience you thought was bad
And try to see everything as valuable quest and...
Just life pushing you off in yet another direction
If your seeing the beauty in life
More beauty will come to you if you believe
Even if that beauty has to in strife and tragedy

But really you only just went to prove
that you can be in bad and still see good/

Yeah.. me too.. funny story about that line.  Is that the way I explained it in my rhyme was only my interpretation of the man's advice, because actually, I found out later he was saying something else.

Check this out....

He told me,

"Keep seeing the good,
and more good will come to you,
Cause there is good even in bad".

^^^ He told me something like that (along with other things).

So I interpreted that to mean, that in the past I had been able to see the good, even though the situation was actually a bad situation.  So I was actually inspired by that thought, because I kind of took it to be like a proof that no matter what I'm going through I've shown I have the ability to see the good.

Then... later in the conversation I asked him to explain more about what he had said.  And it turned out that my interpretation of it (that I wrote above) was actually not what he was saying.  He was speaking in a future tense, and also saying that old, tired cliche of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

But I actually liked the origional interpretation I had of what he said better, so I'm going to stick with that anyway. 

...peace

Both interpretations is tight. That's what's up though, every line really gots a story, huh? Tight.
