Circles of Contemplation
The thoughts intertwined, losing their true essence.
We ran in circles, hoping to break free beyond.
The barrier was strong and insurmountable.
Only a few managed to cross it.
There, freedom and tranquility fluttered.
Mindfulness reached to the tips of threads.
Enchanting scents of unknown plants.
The world and grace — creations of the Father.
Love penetrated their hearts.
Regrettably, only a small fraction subjects itself to
discipline to break the barrier.
They just kept running in circles, unaware of what lay
beyond the barrier.
Metaphorically, our society indulges in detrimental habits — smoking, regular sex, alcohol consumption, substance abuse, incessant shopping, and the consumption of unhealthy foods. Discipline becomes an elusive virtue as people succumb to the allure of instant gratification. The unwillingness to abstain from these vices stems from a collective reluctance to face the difficulty of self-discipline.
Yet, the potential for transformation is immense. Abandoning these habits opens the door to a life filled with newfound energy for pursuits like sports or creative endeavors. A disciplined lifestyle allows the mind to operate at its full capacity, unlocking untapped potentials. As the grip of destructive habits loosens, a cascade of positive changes unfolds.
It’s a journey toward self-discovery, where the fear of the unknown dissipates. Embracing positive changes enables individuals to witness their own growth, and the realization dawns that learning is a lifelong endeavor. Liberation from destructive habits is the key to unlocking one’s true potential and embracing a life of fulfillment and achievement.
