Magic: the art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation or various other techniques that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature

In it's definition magic has endless possibilities....

does it?

For some strange reason. when i am thinking up "Incantation" or "various other techniques" I have trouble thinking up what to do.

"what exactly is the problem i'm facing now? How do i solve it?" are questions i ask,

but magic doesn't seem to come up as an answer often.

and when it does, i use my trusty tarrot deck and i get BAD RESULTS
BAD BAD BAD RESULTS

so the magic i do always ends up being pure white magic since everything else seems it would go bad.

that's pretty limited if you ask me.

Your doubts are expected. Most people are focused on themselves. There's nothing corrupt about that, it's just natural in humans and animals. Sometimes it's neccessary in this competitive world. After all, you got to help yourself before you can help others. And I have no expectations of saving the world. I was just saying that if the tools were available to me (magic, clearly), I would use it for any applicable way of fixing as much wrong as I can, in a minor or major way depending on just what I'm capable of. Sometimes, a small part of helping the world can constitute as healing a small child from a terminal illness. I am not capable of that at the time being (I refuse to believe in impossibility).

As far as my signature, yes I believe in a better world where corruption and disease are washed away. (that's why I'm interested in medical school) That's what's in my heart. I think about it every day. I stand strong with hopes that someday it will happen, weather it be caused by me, someone else, or a group of political and medical experts. Being different doesn't mean being the big attention whore. It means be who you are, without pressure of following the norm. If you're gay, be so. If you have a vivid imagination, don't let people tell you your a nut case. If you like to sing in the shower...well I think you get the point.

If you are an empath reading my emotions, you are accurate in saying that my emotions are not very animated on this topic. That's the way I am with everything. I have a calm, laid back personality.

Not really. I see no reason to be dishonest with myself by looking for a blame. I got a DUI 2 years ago because I drank and drove. I don't blame that on a bad luck curse or demon from hell, or even simple stress. A mistake of poor judgement that I've learned from. I tend to think with logic and reasoning versus emotion.

As far as issues, the only issues I have are the same as everyone else...bills, which are managable.

If this objective could be accomplished without me, I could die happy. Could you elaborate on how my signature is a contradiction?


--------------------
Stand strong for what's true in your heart, your mind and your soul. Be different. Be true. Be real.
