ScaryMind Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I'm trying to understand certain things about people. I don't feel I can acknowledge what is going on the human race in a country like this. The people are so shallow, they are so barren by their own ineptitude to understand how truly powerful they are. People are blind. They are blind to their own power, to their own puissance. People want to be objectified here, and I sense it more than ever in a country like this, where the western influence is so vivid that it could bite you on the cheek. I am so blind to my own power, the power that your own spirit can bring to yourself. There is something deeper that transcends more than what we think or feel, and people don't care to sense that deep inner feeling that connects us all, because we're all so blind, and perhaps afraid to touch that power. Fear, is the vital key to unlocking the true power that lies beneath us. Fear for so much. Fear to achieve, fear to live, fear to love, fear to seek, fear to be, but, most importantly, fear to be free. Free from the constructs that chain us to this barren place we call earth. I search so hard, for a reason to live, for a reason to hang on to this vital cord we call "life". But, after all, what is the reason. Is the reason to live, simply to live? Or is there more? I believe, after all, there is death, and after death, there is nothing. However, within life, there is a meaning so deep, so transcendent, so desperate, so exacerbated, that we cannot explore it unless we let ourselves escape from what we call "this world". I am afraid to explore these unexplored depths because these unexplored depths exemplify an amount of fear and loathing that seem simply, 'scary', to approach. It's like this feeling of "why would I even explore these feelings because there is no need to". Everyday, I try and understand my own faith, what I believe in, what it all comes down to, and every day, I come to the same conclusion, "there is nothing". Only what WE believe. If you believe in God, then believe in him, and let believe the fact that there is some super being taking control of all this havoc, chaos and destruction that is going on in this world. I am completely confused, but what I can understand is that there is only this one life to live, and what we must do is to embrace this life as fully as we can, because if we lot loose all the living things that live so vibrantly around us, we lot loose life itself. We lose life itself. Every species, except us, hangs onto dear life on the very embraces of death, and only we find deeper meaning. I think it is this very search for deeper meaning that allows us to find a deeper meaning. Some believe in God, some believe in life after death, some believe in reincarnation, and some believe that we just die. It is a scary feeling, to believe that we die, but it is a feeling that could free us. Dying, nothing after death. Embracing life, because of this extreme delusion that we could die at any second of any day, of any year... Some people embrace this, and those are very few. Those are the few that view life as something so sacred that it cannot be controlled by society, by people, by ideologies, by discussions of what life is after death. These people are so few that they get marginalized from regular society for their extravagant thinking. We marginalize them for their external thinking to what is 'normal'. However, what is normal? Is normal within the regular, idealized constructs within which we put it? Or is normal simply a social norm which man creates to constrain himself? Does normal exist? What if we were to escape this 'normal' for a second, and understand that life is so much more than living a 'normal' life. So many people, in the past, have driven past the constructs of the normal, of what "is" simply because we are born into a society that tells us to 'do'. 1500 years ago, slavery was something that was looked at as normal. 200 years ago, man was viewed as the superior sex, and racism was plentiful. Today, we still view prisons as righteous, war as delinquelently needed, and nationalism as something that is respectful. Escape for a second, and understand that nothing exists, except in what your mind creates. No reality exists except the reality that exists within your mind. If I could escape for a second, and imagine a world in which no 'norm' existed except the norm we believed to be true, I see a world that is so vivid and free, a world that cannot seem to exist, because it is so far. It is crazy to think that there could be no such thing as money, or fashionable clothes, or dumb-downed education, or society, but it is because our minds are so enclosed by these ideas that they never linger beyond the boundaries of what society tells us to believe. Escape is a hard idea to grasp, whenever our minds are imprisoned. However, all my words are futile, because the world will continue to run as it is. People will be born, and die, into this world that will, continually, and eternally, never change, except gradually because the human race is doomed to its extreme stubborness that cannot be cured only but with a small sense of understanding that comes over such a long period of time. Ignorance is bliss, and bliss is a feeling we all need to feel, every once in a while.
