Miles Fables

Philosophies on life from a more realistic standpoint. Opposing many popular or traditional views on everything from God to laws. A place where the free thinker can feel welcome and at home. You are not required to agree, and your own ideas are welcome. All I ask is that you don't judge me...... uncreatively;)

Run

It's hard for those with a consciousness of time

To even consider the idea of investing

If every moment is precious

This is no small request your asking

And it's never some small moment

They always ask for so much

Can no one understand

The memories that are lost

Or the ones that are never had

A deep conversation with your love

Or a child's first word

This is what you ask me to surrender

This is what you'd have me give up

So judge me if you will

But I have no regrets

Everytime they said don't do it son

In a blink I was gone

They said I'd have to always look

Over my shoulder all my life

But truth be told I never did

Not even one time

Nearly two decades I spent

Free and living life

That I otherwise would have spent

Locked away or paying fines

Sooner or later they said

You will see the light

Yet here we are twenty years later

And I'm still waiting for the sight

When I think of the things

I never woulda done

I swear I am so deeply thankful

That I chose to run

If your acquaintance is speaking to you in an ill manner regarding a mutual acquaintance, then surely he will speak to the said acquaintance in an ill manner regarding you!

The nature of bridges

The funny thing about bridges is, when you burn them down, it's hard to cross back over them.

This is a lesson I've seen far too many people learn the hard way. .... Myself included.

I am the oldest of six boys, but I was raised seperate from my brothers. I still saw them growing up, but not a whole lot. I used to babysit my two youngest brothers, who grew up and became the two most useless individuals on the planet..

Okay that may be a bit of an exaggeration but you get my point. They are my brothers and so I'm allowed to be honest.... They are horrible people.

Anyways, we all have someone in our lives who we would love to see get hammered with some good old karma. My youngest brother, Spencer, is one of those people.

So look, I love my brother, but hes no brother. He's really kinda an enemy. He has tried to screw me over, and has, many times. I tried to show him a better way, but he is unsusceptible to any type of advice. That being said, I did have the pleasure of saying 'i told you so' at least once.

Here's what happened. I introduced him to my best friend ( my true brother) because he used to sell the type of thing my brother was interested in. I did so assuming that he would treat the situation with respect considering he knew this guy was very close to me. He proved me a fool for assuming.

He called my best friend (Brian) and placed an order. When they met, Brian showed him the goods and my brother (Spencer) grabbed it and took off running. Brian was a big dude. He weighed around 300 lbs . There was no way he could have caught him. So, he let it go and added Spencer to the list of people who he would not deal with. This, I believe to be the best decision.

Months later, who would have guessed it, Spencer is in trouble with the law and needs to leave the state.. . Okay. He calls me since Ive been known to do such things like go on the LAM. Also, I lived 1000 miles away and he would be safe with me..

It just so happens that Brian was about to come and visit. Perfect right? Well, would have been if his dumb ass hadn't stole from him.

So, lesson learned? Hell no! This dude is dumber than a box of rocks and has zero loyalty. He will either spend 90% of his life in prison, or end up dead. Sad but true.

Thanks for reading. Much love as always.

No Tree 🌲🌴🌲🌲🌲🌴

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it fall, does it make a sound?

We've all heard this asked before. How did you answer?

Here is mine;

There is no tree.

What does it mean to exist? To answer this, let's look at what the word 'exist' means. Various versions of the English dictionary define it as having objective reality or being. To put it simply, to exist means to experience. What is life if not a series of experiences? Another point I would like to make is that existing requires one thing to be validated. Acknowledgement. Yes, for something to exist, there must be a conscious mind to.ackowledge it or else how can it exist?

Think about this on a grand scale. If the earth is void of life. (Human and animal life) and is full of only trees. Just as an example. Say there is no one to see these trees, no one to keep a record of the life of these trees, nothing. Then no one is experiencing these trees, the trees themselves are not conscious or aware, so do they exist?

You might say well, God knows they are there , but for this experiment let's just pretend there is no god . I know, I know how dare I and all that , just humor me. No God, no people, no animals, nothing. Just trees. So, do they exist?

Tell me what you think. How do they exist or how do they not.

Thanks to all who take the time to read and a special thanks to those who interact in a positive way. Much love to you all, as always.
