We are afraid of truth, afraid of fortune, afraid of death, and afraid of each other
The other day, a close acquaintance of mine asked, "Why is life so hard to live?" the bearer of such an ostensibly shallow question shall remain unsaid. I told him only what i have known for only so long, that as humans, as a mortal mind we are urged by the masses to fear the truth, fortune, death and ultimately each other.
1.Truth
It seems that all of us, as some point in our life, are terrified of the truth, we absolutely shun the idea of looking deep within our souls to seek what is assumed..."truth." Why? Subcociously we are terrified that if we look in, we may find nothing, the entirety of our lives, completely meaningless. My friends if this is the case to which you belong to, then you simply have not searched in the right places. From my findings, truth exists only in the simplest of states, because that is exactly what it is, no lies, no facades, its what it is, in the most direct and constitutional form. If we/i could just let go of everything and feel what truth is for just one moment, i think my life would change and i would move to a small african country and digest worms. The truth about the truth is, is that the truth can only be true to you. You make your truth, you are the truth, and no one will ever know, dont be scared of it, manifest your soul into it. intergrate truth and you like a milkshake, shaken not stirred.
2.Fortune
They claim we arent afraid of fortune, sure we'd love to win the lottery. Maybe its just me, but i would abhor to be financially secure and happy based soely upon the luck of a draw. i want my money to be earned, my life will not be measured by luck. I will measure it through hard work and flight. The idea of fortune today, and the idea of fortune 100 years ago are very diffrent. We should embrace the idea that WE are the only ones who can bring fortune into our lives, we can not depend on the simple, the measureable and the countable. Tangible fortune cannot save us, the physical idea of money will never save our souls, or make them better, it takes experience persistence and a wrinkle or two. The idea of being fortunate is one we will only come to know when the fortune has left us, whether it be in love, lax, or lust.
3.Death
Maybe I do consider life very enigmas, but one thing is very hmmm I will further refer to it as the lesser understatement of life. No? yeah to much typing, I was exampling death. But life....ahh to ponder, and so I do, too much. Take death for example a great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it. We make extraordinary efforts to delay it and often consider its intrusion a melancholy event. Yet we'd find it hard to live without it. Death give meaning to our lives, it give importance and vale to time. Time would become meaningless if there were to much of it. If death were inevitably put off the human psyche would end up...diluted. I accept death, its almost beautiful the way that i just put it. And it is, it is value and finalization, reflection, change, it is a fantasy of images. Yet we fear its beauty and the uncertainty of its Devine.
4.Eachother
I think your familiar with the idea of eachother. At times we are weaklings to the love of one another, we are confused at the undertones hidden in the phantom of relationships, but whatever those colors may be, we are drawn to them, by fear and by lust. …ok im done writing I need some coffee. |
