Garbage Two

Gekkido charged up one hundred flights of stairs once more to find an elderly lady waiting for him with a bag of trash. He decided to take his time and not be in a rush since he would be essentially doing this all day. The time he was spending on these missions thinking and growing his perspective was of far greater value than the money he'd be sacrificing by taking one or two less missions per day. During his time down the stairs he pondered about how he could more quickly become the person he needed to be in order to accomplish his goals. His growth in power needed to match his growth in character, he knew this. But the growth of character was far less tangible and thus more difficult to measure. He decided to measure it by the general nature of his thoughts, which he would have to monitor from this point on. The mood he was in on average, and the general feel of his interpretation of life experiences would tell him whether or not he was coming from a place of positive and opportunisitc confidence, or weakness and negativity. He needed there to be not even a sliver of weakness or self-destruction within him. Most powerful men were not destroyed from without but from within. An eternal reign was only befitting to a soul yeilded to eternal principle. He began by assessing just how strongly he held onto childhoold pains and griefs. Whether it be towards the women who raised him, the orphans he'd grown up with, or young girls for whom his heart had panted after like a man dying of thirst in the desert. Pondering these things, he came to realize that a great deal of him realizing his ideal would be him overcoming the forces that held him back. The negative energy associated with past pain and experiences he labeled as failures and mistakes. He was still so young, but the mistakes hurt so badly. Gekkido found his thoughts interrupted as he reached the bottom floor and was soon skipping towards the trash in order to make the delivery. He paced himself and yet moved with reasonable haste to have dinner back at the old lady's apartment. There, he found himself indeed in a present moment, a moment of joy as the delicious cooking he ate was filled with praise and appreciation; a kind of satisfaction he admittedly rarely was filled with.
