Search for answers...

By Vichara

We all just want answers, all the time. Is this the right thing to do? Does this look ok? Will I be all right? Did I hurt their feelings? Do they like me? Reassurance of not only of your safety and well-being but safety and reassurance of your heart. For the most of us we need to know in to some degree, if in those that we invest our heart and spirit in do actually care for us. A very hard question to answer with true conviction. The caution here however is if there is a dependence on someone else’s measurement then you will always be in a flux and increase your need for reassurance and answers. Find comfort and confidence in you first. Build an identity of yourself with compassion and patience and you will gain a foundation where the search for answers and reassurance will decrease and a life with conviction and confidence will increase.

Flyting in 15th- and 16th-century Scotland is analogous to a modern-day rap competition during which rappers improvise clever disses and put-downs against their opponents. Similarly, the makars (a Scottish word for "poets") engaged in verbal duels in which they voiced extravagant invectives in verse against their rivals. The base of "flyting" is the ancient verb "flyte" (also spelled "flite"), meaning "to contend" or "to quarrel."
