to blog or not to blog…
Posted by Allison Mack | Filed under Blog
Sometimes I feel repetitive with the things I share on here. I feel like I am so uber obsessed with certain points I want to share that I end up going totally overboard with the amount of times I relate things to “humanity” and “compassion”. I have a very strong picture of what i think a compassionate humanitarian looks like and because i don’t fit that picture, I walk around speaking of it 24/7 as a way to prove I am a “compassionate, humanitarin, artist.”
What would happen if I took all that effort and actually put it into becoming the “compassionate, humanitarian, artist?”
I might stop talking about it and actually do it?
ah!
scary!

June 24th, 2009 at 4:06 amI think I can relate to what you´re saying.
For many years I kept journals, where I kept writing every day about the same problems of myself and the world I saw around me. Eventually I got tired of just moaning in my notebooks and started trying to transform my negativity into positive actions. And with that my necessity to moan stopped (or at least decreased
). But I don´t think you´re moaning in your blogs, you´re just sharing your views and that´s ok. As long as you´re working to be the person you want to be there´s nothing wrong with writing/thinking/sharing what´s important for you.

June 24th, 2009 at 4:42 amYou are working to be the person you want to be and you are entitled to share anything and as many times as you want.:-)
I understand and, I often feel the same way on my own journey.May I ask you to explain what you think a compassionate humanitarian looks like?
Don’t be too hard on yourself whatever it is you think you’re lacking to fit the picture you have in mind.
You are a woman with a caring and giving heart, a strong spirit, living with compassion, love and understanding.
You are an inspiration for being who you are, that is, a good-natured woman who continues to work to a better self to be able to reach out and make a difference in the world.Even though I’m far away from certain goals, making commitments, taking the first (baby) steps,… to be the change I want to see in my life and, maybe even the world…it feels empowering and, really good!. It gives hope, joy and a sense of being.:-)
It is really hard sometimes but, it is often oh so worth it. -
Jade Ruby Says:
June 24th, 2009 at 5:15 amActually, by continuing to talk about what you want to become can prime you to start yourself on your way to actually getting there. Lily is right in taking those first small steps of commitment first. Once you start taking those small commitments, you’ll find yourself wanting and able to make larger ones. In fact, one of the commitments you’ve already made to yourself is to keep talking the talk, so don’t stop.

June 24th, 2009 at 5:38 amHi Allison
I feel if you talk about it to others it would help you remind yourself what you feel a compassionate humanitarian is. So it’s a good thing and eventually as you said you would begin to emulate some of he or she’s ideas, concepts. By talking about it you are learning it. I don’t know, umm

June 24th, 2009 at 6:22 amFor me, talking about what I want to be is usually a first step to becoming it, or at least moving closer towards becoming it. I’ve also tried to benefit from surrounding myself with people who help me become the person I want to be. On days where I’m not that self motivated they give me encouraging pushes, usually without even knowing it.
You’ll become who you want to be Allison. No worries.~Andy

Kathy Says:
June 24th, 2009 at 6:46 amI also think you are being too hard on yourself. You are not boring anyone when you talk about compassion or humanitarianism, and I think it’s damn interesting to read your POV and then to get all of your readers POV’s as well.
Take it easy on yourself because I think you are a very kind and compassionate person, and a great humanitarian.

June 24th, 2009 at 7:31 amDear Allison, every moment you are becoming. Every moment you choose to be present or not to that reality. You respond mindfully or absently to every aspect of your life. This is true for all of us.
We all love your blog, but please never feel obligated to blog daily. Be true to your journey.
I find myself doing the same thing with ideas that are important to me…how I want to see myself evolve. But then, I see when it comes to living up to my ideals, I am very lacking. But the answer is not jumping into another project I’m not ready for. The inner-work has to come first. And I think that means we have to stop striving so hard to be and let who we know we are to develop. We have to relax and stop trying so hard to make this story our ego’s identify with work. Maybe loosening our grasp on the story and learning to I.D. with True Self is the answer. I believe that the greatest creativity and compassion rise from that place. Go within…this is the place where the humility, compassion, creativity emanating into our struggling egos are innate. If we drop the stories, there they are.
Please don’t think I’ve reached this place of awareness. But this desire, which is really the same as yours, is what drives me, what streams repeatedly through my own conversations and writing. Why, because it’s a passion. Talk about it, write about it. But we must not forget to feel it deeply when we are alone in our quiet moments; but not judging our weakness, rather noticing both our weakness and the potential of that innate goodness. You are a bright soul, dear one. I know it must be an added challenge to have your journey so public. From what we see, you handle it with grace. You are an exceptional young woman with not only the potential to reach your goal, but he heart. Don’t judge yourself too harshly, life is a classroom…keep showing up, being present, and you will grow into that woman. You have a lifetime.
And you will know when the moments come for you to act. With no concern for result, be, do, grow, soak in this transformative act of being present to life. You will become. (I say to myself as I type to you.)love love love

June 24th, 2009 at 7:46 amI think sometimes its hard to go from talking to actually doing.It’s just easier.For me,i think i probably have a fear of not succeeding.Can we actually live up to what is in our minds.We all say one thing and do another.I dont know,its weird.Its like in our mind we are one person,and then in actuality we are someone totally different.
Scary?….definately!
Have a great day Allison

June 24th, 2009 at 8:50 amIf you didn’t talk about it we’d miss hearing your views and opinions!
I don’t think talking about self-improvement neccessarily negates the doing. Sure, at some point you have to turn your thoughts into actions, but there’s nothing wrong with thinking things through beforehand, especially if (like me) you’re the type of person who forgets to look before she leaps and often ends up wondering “how did I get here?”
Keep blogging, and keep working on becoming who you want to be!

IreneT Says:
June 24th, 2009 at 9:02 amGosh, I my heart goes out to you..i feel you girl!
listen we have a message in us that burns to speak about & try to live up to.
For me it’s about “truth”, I am constantly in search of it. I think we were all created with a message in us, to reach those in our spear of influence with.
To me, you are a constant reminder to always be aware of others.
As someone in search for truth, I tend to get black & white, you bring color to my world & remind me to be compassionate-not judgemental.
I would say you are a humanitairian (or however you spell it).

Melissa Says:
June 24th, 2009 at 9:33 amAllison, you are an ope-up person, you describe yoursef as you are, I admire that in person, you put your feelings out, your perspective of life, everything, don’t ever get bored of doing the same, if that’s what you love the most then don’t. I wish you the best, and remember when your life is all down just be positive, just think you are in a wonderland and you are the main character, the happy main character, just be yourself. Wish you the best.

June 24th, 2009 at 12:40 pmHello Allison. I think repeating to yourself what your goals are is the first step in making them real and activating them. I find your opinions so interesting, I never get tired of reading your blogs. To me the repetition of something just helps me understand even more your point of view. SO please do continue. I hope you realize this goal of becoming a compassionate, humanitarian, artist. But I can see already those traits in you. It definitely shines through on everything you do. You’re so intelligent and you are an amazing strong young woman that I continuously look up to everyday. So please, do not worry. This is a blog. You can express your feelings as much as you’d like and your community will be here to share and understand these expressions and feelings. We’ll always have your back.
Happy blogging!
Much love & support,
BrittanyXOXOXOX -

June 24th, 2009 at 2:21 pmHi Allison,
People are so much more alike than we realize. I have this same issue. I am trying to write a book, a memoir, about a transformative experience in my life. I took classes, met amazing people that want to support me. Started up a blog. Wrote 100 pages and scrapped 80. My story is special and unique and many will want to read it. But when I sit at the computer or notepad and I think that to get 250 excellent pages, I will have to write 1000. It’s like me, a 5.6 climber, climbing the 5.12 El-Capitan. I talk alot about it to my family and friends. And now people ask the dreaded “How’s the book coming?”
“Oh it’s coming, slow, but sure.” I say. Inside I am ashamed because my three sample chapters should be done by now. The proposal should be at the editor’s. I also think that talking about something puts a little jinx on it. Like the talking creates the aura and that’s I need to feel like a writer.Everyone around me says one page at a time.
You managed to train yourself to run a marathon. And I know that you didn’t just go out one day and do 26miles.
Thing of how much money you raised for the little boy and his family in Vancouver, by doing the superhero video.
Your doing good work. I’ll love and appreciate what you do, weather or not you talk about it. The question you must ask is how does it make you feel to talk about it.
I hope I haven’t overstepped myself. I just get a sense from your entries that you are struggling with something right now.
Peace and happiness,
Heather

“Oh it’s coming, slow, but sure.” I say.”That’s what it’s all about shinystarlet, you had the guts to go ahead and make that public commitment. Now that you’ve made that public commitment, you can feel the obligation that prompted you to make that commitment in the first place, and yes, by making it public you took on the responsibility to feel those emotions that show that you’re still committed to your task.
One page at a time. -

June 24th, 2009 at 2:48 pmHi Allison,
I think you should write what you feel comfortable writing. This is your space after your all and if you want to document your journey into becoming the person that you’re aiming to be, that’s cool. If you just want to post something fun and unrelated to anything at all, that’s cool too. As long as you’re having fun and getting something out of it.

June 24th, 2009 at 2:48 pmSincerity manifests itself through action, although actions can certainly be insincere. Perhaps you should question whether you are really sincere or not. One must believe through one’s deeds. Sincerity in the internal always manifests in the external. However, sometimes doing the external, although not totally sincere, can start developing the internal through self-reinforcing mechanisms.

And in the turmoil of everything
Suddenly everything feels right
Right like it has never been
The world is a fine place to be

I love humanity and compassion, these are my essence; If some people of this world have tried to have this feelings inside their heart everything would be better, peace, food, health and other such of things would make this world perfect.
We are in a mission, and all we should to do is take a message to everyone and say how much Jesus love us, he is here always by our side loving us, forgiving us for our transgressions and everything wrong we do, knowing or not.
Use this gift that God gave to you, and have sure will be a very happy person.

June 24th, 2009 at 10:27 pmHi Allison.
What is a compassionate humanitarian?
This is a person who is open to the world and communicate with other people to learn to know them better.
Your blog allows you to stay in contact and share with people who live in several countries and have different cultures.
With this blog you agree to receive feedback on what you say. You are someone who knows how to listen the others.
When we are passionate about something, we talk often and this is normal. Do not worry that if this is repetitive, it allows us to better understand. A subject as humanity is probably the most discussed in the world.
In all movies, plays, TV series, novels and songs, humanity is still the main ingredient in the recipe.
Compassion brings sensitivity to humanity.
It’s wonderful to see an actress become more aware of this aspect to become more credible in his future artistic achievements.This is a person who has something to offer society and who has the intelligence to use the talents that gave her life to make our world better. In your case, your talent as an actress, you can reach millions of people.
Allison make yourself known through your movies and your creativity. Plus you’ll be more famous you have an influence on humanity. Actress Angelina Jolie is the person who has the most infuence according to a recent survey.
Do not put the cart before the horse, you concentrate on your career and become the future Merryl and Angelina leaving a wonderful legacy of art and humanity.Allison, I hope to continue to read your blogs throughout your career as an artist.
Take care of you and do great things.
Claude. -

June 24th, 2009 at 11:39 pmits like once you make a public commitment you feel this need to show people that you are keeping to it so, you continually provide “proof” that you are keeping to your word and so you feel like you are always being repetitive but i always end up doing the same thing! so i think its cool that you want to show us how you try to honour your public commitments. after all if you didnt share them with us, you would be less inclined to achieve ‘em

June 24th, 2009 at 11:52 pmYour blogs are never repetitive.
Even if and when you raise discussions on similar or familiar topics you always find new and interesting ways of saying what you want to say.
Your blogs are always interesting, enlightening, uplifting and inspiring because you have such an amazing personality and outlook on life and I will always check back for what you have to say next.In terms of putting your words into actions, I am also struggling with that because it means allowing for change, which can be pretty fucking scary!
Maybe if we stop allowing the fear to take over, we may actually end up getting what we want or getting closer to becoming the people we want to be.
Although once again, saying it is one thing but actually doing it is entirely different.And Allison, you already have the traits you need to be the woman you want to be. You just need to keep developing them. I guess the same goes for all of us.
Definitely keep blogging!
We all love reading each and every blog!xoxo

Ornella, I could not have said that better myself. I totally agree. It’s completely true. It’s kinda like having an online journal where you can also get support and advice from others and vice versa.

June 25th, 2009 at 6:59 am…are you waivering? I know it all seems redundant sometimes, but some people just don’t get it thew their thick heads- sometimes it requires to be restated.
Plus, sometimes things stay fresh in you to repeat because someone else logged in that didn’t log in before.
Either way, there is a purpose for everything. Sometimes it’s about consistancy, other wise you may seem like a real flake if you constantly jumped around from topic to topic.
You are building people up. You are constantly challenging us to not get so caught up in ourselves. To be mindful of our behavior, to be present with everyone, to consider others more than ourselves.
As for your struggles with these issues, sometimes you gotta experience/ embody the message, before you can communicate it.
Believe it or not, God is using you & from a minister’s position, you would laugh, but your are “ministering” to people.
I don’t want to push my faith on you, but I may never get a chance to tell you this,
much of your questions can be answered in the bible. Much of your restlessness can be settled in realizing that the one who created you (the Lord) loves you very much and it is he that will reveal your purpose in this life.much of which, i believe is utilizing your gifts and talents that he designed you with for the purpose of this platform, to give you a greater spear/reach for people to hear you. To give you a voice for something bigger than you.
ah…there. I’ve said what was in my heart to say.
Be blessed today girl!
You are loved. -

June 25th, 2009 at 8:25 amIn my view “compassionate” and “humanitarian” (or do you mean simply human ?) are not well accorded to “artist”. I mean it is a different level, and perhaps it’s better to dissociate them. A great documentary film maker, Viktor Kossakovski, made a strong point on this.
For example he filmed his son at age 4 in front of a mirror and all his reactions facing his reflection – at a key transitional age in this relation to his own image- passing from amusement to rage and tears. Not very charitable… But the film is a masterpiece, a parabol on humanity. Same thing when he filmed his old ex professor dying and having lost his mind… Well these examples are strong, but at some point he had to ask himself “what can I do ?”. And since he is a filmmaker he filmed. And that’s also his faith into his art. Same goes with engagement I think. You can have your opinions etc on a personal level, but as an artist you’re not at all obligated to refer to it, or immediately compose a song as soon as something bad happens in the world… As an individual of course, better if you’re a compasionate and “human” person ! Though I’m not sure to really relate to those adjectives… Are we sure we know what we speaking about when we speak about having “heart”, being human, etc ? Seems a little vague to me, although I understand of course what general meaning it could have… which I think strongly relates to a Christian history and so…sacrifice and guilt… Anyway I understand what you mean when you say you want to act, more than speak… Because so-called “good” actions are always extremely specific, and also sometimes “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” ! Of course you seem a kind and caring person and I absolutely don’t doubt your true generosity, I’m just throwing some thoughts here, I hope it will not be misinterpreted !
Take care and thanks for this blog I just discovered. I can really feel you’re a great person. -

And even though I don’t know you and I will probably never meet you, you will always be a major inspiration to me.
Thank you so much for all of your thoughts! And hopefully one day I will meet you. =)

I, personally, enjoy and welcome what’s on your mind. If it’s a particular theme, it shows that you’re speaking from your heart and mind and not just posting something meaningless to you.
This is an important journey for you and we’re all here to offer support in this limited way we can. Plus, I think we all enjoy your voice.
Stick with it. We’re here.

MichelleDiMartino Says:
June 29th, 2009 at 12:42 pmThis is a start, it may be impossible to be 100% a compassionate humanitarian, or to be anything 100%. But at least what it is you strongly believe and want to become is noble and not superficial. I know plenty of people who’d rather be beautiful, wealthy, and have a glamorous life. So it is nice to hear that someone is an aspiring humanist or humanitarian. Like you I always feel like I spend too much time thinking and not enough time doing, but as a graduated student of philosophy I can almost be sure that working out a plan of action will sustain your goal much longer than just jumping into something.

An Smallville – Star Allison Mack,
von Sven-Uwe Mehner, was ich schon immer schreiben wollte, aber nie getraut habe!Erst einmal noch viel Erfolg für das Jahr 2009.
In Letzter Zeit, kann ich an nichts anderes denken als nur an Sie Frau Allison Jenna Mack,
wenn ich an meinen neuen Notebook sitze, dann habe ich meisten, als Hintergrundbild ein Bild von Ihnen, auf meinen Bildschirm drauf. Weill Sie eine tolle Sportlich – Weiblich – Figur haben, sie sind wie eine Göttin für mich, so fern aber doch so nah, im Geist da.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Ich bin der Meinung, ihre Figur Chloe Sullivan in Smallville, die Ware Lois Lane ist! Und Chloe & Clark, zusammen gehören. Weil die Zwei wie ein Herz & eine Seele sind. Ich würde gern Ihnen mein Smallville-Datein, die Ich auf mein PC habe senden, aber es geht nicht! Da werden Sie sehen, daß von Ihnen Ms. Allison Mack die meisten Fotos sind. Die aktuelle Zahl kann ich zur Zeit nicht nennen, die müsste ich erst zählen.Ich wünsche Ihnen weiterhin alles Gute und viel Erfolg
Über eine Antwort würde ich mich sehr freuen und wenn möglich ein Autogrammfoto von Ihnen.

On Smallville – Allison Mack Star,
Sven-Uwe Mehner, what I’ve always wanted to write, but have never dared!First of all much success for the year 2009.
Lately, I can think of nothing else than to you Mrs. Allison Jenna Mack,
when I get my new laptop sitting, then I have most, as the background picture is a picture of you on my screen it. Weill, a great sports – Female – figure, they are like a goddess for me so far but yet so near, in the spirit there.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:44 pm
I think her character Chloe Sullivan in Smallville, Lois Lane, the product is! And Chloe & Clark, belong together. Because the two as a heart & a soul. I would like you my Smallville files, which I had to send my PC, but it does not work! As you will see that you Ms. Allison Mack photos, most are. The current number, I can not tell at the moment, the only one I have.I wish you all the best and much success
About an answer I would be very happy, and if possible, an autograph photo from you.

July 2nd, 2009 at 11:46 amHi Allison!
I see nothing wrong with talking (blogging in this case) about what your thoughts or ideas are. Many good things started out that way. Whatever your vision of compassionate humanitarian is, blogging abour your thoughts/ideas does not prevent you from being one. I think you’re not alone in thinking or feeling as though you need to speak out more to “prove” your compassion. Perhaps just speaking about it alone already shows compassion (since you’re showing you care about the matter). Sometimes, we touch others’ lives without us knowing or not even trying. Compassion and humanitarian comes in many shapes and forms and you need not to feel bad about constantly trying to redefine it. It’s dynamic and as long as you’re engaged into it, you’re doing something as oppose to nothing. And something (in this case), is always better than nothing.

July 2nd, 2009 at 10:37 pm“I might stop talking about it and actually do it?”
Pleasantly surprised to find our heroine still in the grip of her existential crises. An actor who is afraid to act? Perhaps asking what it means to act is the starting point of action. Is acting on screen not a form of action? If not, then what does it mean to really act?

July 3rd, 2009 at 6:31 pmturning knowledge into action. i’m stuck there too. a pinch a fear, a dash of indecision, but mostly just too much information. too hard to sort through it all and find a path. we hoard knowledge, and never purge the stuff that we find useless. we just keep it and use it as a reason to keep observing and hold off on action.

katnapz Says:
July 3rd, 2009 at 6:46 pmbtw, it sounds to me like the blog isn’t giving you what you really want from it. perhaps you just need a different approach. is it not sparking the right kind of discussion? maybe ask a question of the readers first, then give us your opinion in a follow up post. perhaps that would be more exciting/engaging for you.
or maybe putting constraints on the responses would be more fun and engaging for you to read ( “tell me in 2 sentences or less” ) i think you did that with the 6 word memoirs. it requires more of us as well.
you don’t have to do it every time. i don’t know, just thinking out loud

IreneT Says:
July 6th, 2009 at 7:03 amIt must be really hard for you right now…One of the things in searching who you are, is confusing what you do as part of your idenity. The sad thing about that is, when your done with a project, your left feeling lost, because your id. is wrapped up in what you do. That can be very discouraging.
The thing is, you are not what you do. Your gift is your talent, but you are not your gift. Do you know what I’m trying to say?
Acting may be what you do, but I think there is more to you than that! The arts are just your avenue of outlet to express the person you are, and you are a great person to have gotton a glimps of.
If you write nothing else, it was a true pleasure reading of you, from you. You taught me a lot.
I’ll keep checking in on you, but know that your in my prayers.
Thanks!

Matt Says:
July 7th, 2009 at 10:04 amSo Ive been thinking…..which is never a good thing. BUT! I read over this thingy a second time and realized that it seems like you are way too stressed out about who you want to be and how you want to portray yourself to others. And also that you are worried about what you want to accomplish. Which is totally fine.
In my own experience that’s never worked and trust me I’ve gone down that road many times. But I would love to try to help. =) I was thinking….instead of trying to put a picture in your head of what you want to do and want to be, why not just try simply being the best that you can be and do the best that you can do at everything? And be happy for what you have accomplished so far?
If you put your heart into everything that you do, and not worry about where you will get or what others will think, I guarantee that you will progress even further than you can possibly imagine. You may discover that you are at a totally different place than you were expecting to be.
Just be happy for what you have and don’t give up doing what you love!
That’s what I think……hope it helps =)
Matt =)

I hope you only have strength to carry on as You do, and people shall follow in Your spirit. P.S All the people here, have mercy on Allison, She hasnt blogged but what i hear Smallville filming has started again, so take a second and try imagine how little time She has :/ Anyways just guessing, so patience people and stay cool, Peace,DW

July 9th, 2009 at 3:38 amTo Blog or not to Blog? That is an interesting question. I think the answer is two fold. One by blogging what is on your mind you get to see a different perspective on others thoughts on the same thing that you are thinking about, and two, others get to read, think, respond with their ideas.
As far as compassionate humanitarian goes. I got done reading an interesting blog on another friends page that i thought you might be interested in reading. I have always looked at Albert Einstein as a Compassionate Humanitarian, and here is what he had to say………..
“How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people — first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving…
“I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves — this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts — possessions, outward success, luxury — have always seemed to me contemptible.
“My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a ‘lone traveler’ and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude…”
“My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized. It is an irony of fate that I myself have been the recipient of excessive admiration and reverence from my fellow-beings, through no fault, and no merit, of my own. The cause of this may well be the desire, unattainable for many, to understand the few ideas to which I have with my feeble powers attained through ceaseless struggle. I am quite aware that for any organization to reach its goals, one man must do the thinking and directing and generally bear the responsibility. But the led must not be coerced, they must be able to choose their leader. In my opinion, an autocratic system of coercion soon degenerates; force attracts men of low morality… The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling.
“This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, which I abhor… This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism — how passionately I hate them!
“The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery — even if mixed with fear — that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man… I am satisfied with the mystery of life’s eternity and with a knowledge, a sense, of the marvelous structure of existence — as well as the humble attempt to understand even a tiny portion of the Reason that manifests itself in nature.”
“Albert Einstein” -

July 13th, 2009 at 10:45 amHey Allison,
I just saw ‘Public Enemies’ and want to relate something said in the movie to your post. There’s a scene in the first quarter of the movie where Johnny Depp takes his love interest to a fancy restaurant. She comments that everyone is staring at her because she’s wearing a 5 dollar dress. He tells her that these people are only concerned about where people have come from. He states it’s more important to be concerned with where someone’s going.
I think it’s very important that your trying to become this person you dream to be. Life’s a process. I have lots of faith that if you keep trying you’ll become the “compassionate, humanitarian, artist” that you aspire to be.

Electra Says:
July 17th, 2009 at 8:49 amHi Allison,
I like the title of this posting. However, the question is: Why do you want or need to be a compassionate or humanitarian artist? Maybe you block yourself for your reasons are lacking. With the right reasons you can be the “right” person. It’s a matter of vigours. If energies come up to you, you have to deflect those from you. If you put force against energy, you’re chocked off. Do you understand what I mean?

zod Says:
July 18th, 2009 at 4:00 pmHi a,
Our dear sister Electra is correct.
Good or bad like being human or not is a reasult of energy and not the energy.
But we are always full or energies and never know the end resuld.
So we can never know if we are good or bad because there is never an end!
Can you find a begining?
There is also no begining
the truth is that you can be good or bad because it is a matter of a fake illution
if you decide(believe/immedige whatever) that you are good then you are good. Then you tag unknown enrgy as “good”. I tag you allision you are good.

July 24th, 2009 at 7:04 amHi Allison
I’m just gonna say it seems like your putting yourself under alot of pressure to premote the image of humanitarianism. You do have a great heart as proven on several occasions. I respect the whole Compassion attitude of yours as it’s one of real merit and honor. I believe a wise man once said “If a man carries the weight of the world on his shoulders both he and the world he is trying to protect will be crushed” what i mean is theres no need to pressure yourself into showing what it is you believe in. I think it’s obvious your fans,friends and admirers all believe in your philosophical views myself included. You don’t need to prove to anyone that your a humanitarian no-ones expecting you to go and make a world of difference in every aspect of another persons life. Truth is i myself would feel lucky if i even just occasionally got to make someone feel a little bit better about themselves much less make a difference in how people view the world. From what i can see everyone on this site believes in you.

tanyanna Says:
July 26th, 2009 at 3:26 pmI think the best thing you can do to be humanitarian is simply blog about to be humanitarian, cause the most important thing is to get people aware of our reality, of our world, and you do that, so don’t freak it out too much, You are doing it well.

July 30th, 2009 at 9:02 pm8 years ago, when I heard that a new series, Smallville, was coming to tv, and that it would follow Clarks earlier years and NOT include the blue suited Superman, I considered not watching it. I wondered how they were going to pull it off. Well, I can now say that Im so glad I DID watch. SMallville is my favorite series. WHat an outstanding job the cast, crew, and Producers did. Also, after 8 seasons, one cast member really stands out, and is my favorite character….CHLOE Sullivan. Allison, this senior citizen has really fallen for you and your character. Tom is awesome, as are the other cast members, but it is YOU who really makes the show what it is. You are the glue that keeps it all together. You are an excellent actress. Thank you for …… YOU! I would love to meet you someday but I would need Clark to save me from my wife’s wrath..LOL. JK. I am looking forward to season 9 and, in the words of Mr Spock..Allison, Live Long and Prosper.

August 3rd, 2009 at 11:30 amSometimes I see blogs like this and, actually, wish I could write more like this. Most of mine consists of random happenstance or whatever is in my head at the moment; a release so my mind doesn’t wander. Every once in awhile, I’ll have something mildly thought-provoking to say but I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s deep by any means. I think there is alot of insight to what you write and that, to me, means I am learning something when I read.

coffeerox Says:
September 6th, 2009 at 3:35 amI have no idea if this is going to be read but here goes. First of all to be compassionate you need to be understanding. Without being able to analyze and understand what someone is going through, one cannot be compassionate. Being a humanitarian goes hand in hand with being compassionate. Humanitarianism is impartial. Let me give you an example. Lets say there’s this person that killed another person. You hear more about the killers story and how this person grew up and what they had to grow up around. Would you feel compassion for this fellow or not, because he killed someone? I would because I now know the troubles and hardships that may have lead to that. Does that mean I condone what he did? Nope. Neither would it prevent me from harboring negative feelings about what that person did. With compassion and humanitarianism, you don’t necessarily have to be charitable, etc you don’t really have to do anything at all. Once it is a part of you, it will start to effect everyone around you. It is the thought that counts.
