We were told this week to try two
different types of meditation, both of
which I would consider doing
again. The first type of meditation I decided to tried out was Silent
Meditation. After each and every session
of Silent Meditation I would experienced a sense of calmness. This calmness
allowed me to feel stress free for the majority of the day.
After trying Silent Meditation I went on
to try Superhero Brain Meditation for three days. The results of this type of
meditation actually made me a little more confident. By imagining the superhero
I both admired and wanted to be, I was able to show more confidence when I was approached
with a new task. One of the tasks I was given was to clean all the windows in
my house because my mom was going to host a party and she wanted all the
windows cleaned. As I was cleaning these windows I realized that lines were
being left on them. This made me mad, but then I decided to take a few quick
breaths and went back to my meditation to think about what would Tony Stark do.
Now without a doubt Tony would never worry about cleaning windows, and surely
if he needed clean windows he would just hire someone; but what if he did not have
someone to clean these windows and had
no idea how to prevent these lines. I came to the conclusion that he would do
some research and go on the internet. Once I started doing research, I
discovered that one could used coffee filters to wipe the windows and prevent
lines from forming. My mom was so pleased with the results that she made me
clean the windows up stairs and even the mirrors (how lucky was I).
Though out my life, I have had many
friends and many who even achieved the level of best friend, but now looking
back and looking at my present self I am highly uncertain I have ever had a friendship
that would be characterized as a perfect friendship. All my friendships have
either been one of utility and/or pleasure.
I cannot say that any of my current friendships can ever ascend to the
level of a perfect friendship. The reasons for this is because either they are
of another class then myself and are always taking care of me or that we don’t share
the same values as one another. It is still my hope that one day I do meet someone
who we both can reach the level of perfect friendship together.
I liked your story about cleaning the windows. Your dedication to perfection paid off by pleasing your mother. This should show you that when you get a job in the work world, if you apply that same need for achievement then you will makeyour employery very happy! Also, I agree with the face that we have many *best friends* throughout our lives, but if we were to define best friend as a virture friendship, that may not be the case. It's an interesting perspective.
