If it's no use, kill it

So, being alive gives us a purpose to be useful, but what are we to be used for? I'd like to be an instrument, not just a tool(that cuteness was intended).

I really don't know how long this will be, but I figured that I had a lot of thoughts to let out verbally, so It's likely o be verbose. Sorry.

Lately, I had been stumbling on to a whole lot of musings where others determined that t achieve a thing you had to be single minded, and that means "killing" or "lopping off" unwanted parts. One of the best passages I read lately was about how a soldier cleared his mind of emotions that weren't useful by imagining a candle flame and pushing all ideas into the flame. I also loved the moment that Rand Al'Thor had his epiphany on Dragonmount followed by Egwene's. I think they are connected somehow, she experiences everything that he does in a different circle is all. Ayway, those are just the tinder or knidling to start the fire, I have had my face turned to face that several times and various genres. I realize that being strong is important, but being strong enough to hurt yourself to help others is even harder and requires more stregnth. Isn't that what childbirth teaches us?

On a side I'll mention that men have often made comments about how women are stronger. I figure it is just to equal them out, because we are not physically as brawny, In a very good movie a man says that where men have intellect, women have soul. Women have more emotions, it's true, or is it? I think that men just learn little tricks to handle them where women blubber or hinder them from being insensitive. But, my final conclusion is that it is not possible to compare unequal things (apples and oranges for instance).

I do not think t is good for women to become like men to be strong, but I do believe that to be stronger there must be a way to put off the things about onesself that make one weak.

I'll tell you what is strong, and useful! My cellphone, which is currently taking a "licking" from my over curios son, who smells like poop. I really shouldn't just sit here typing.
