Thoughts:
It amazing how easy you take something for granted, like this breath and moment, your body and mind as well. Don’t take anything for granted it could have been nothing at all, or much worse. Always appreciate life and all the beautiful experiences that come with it. Being always aware of the shortness of life and the reality of death it will make appreciate more this moments when your consciousness is bright. It is important the ability to adapt to your reality and current situations, but you forget too rapidly the whole road and making present a normality.
Awesome idea from Allan Watts, it sounds something like this: ‘what do you see when you look to another person? Answer: You see yourself’. And is true in some way, the shape, the background and history of that person are different because of their context, but is the same essence and energy like in you. Also we are the same species with the some functionalities and needs. The difference between us are superficial, at the core of our being we are the same, running on almost the same hardware having the same biological foundation for our existence.
No wonder why we project ourselves in others, but that is wrong every person has a unique genetic configuration, and a unique context and background, with different sets of believes and inclinations. The polarity rule can be easy seen also here, we are the same species but different as individuals, this contradiction make everything work and keep rolling. Just imagine how boring will be if we are all the same or how strange will be if each of us will be from other species, neither one of the scenarios doesn’t seems so great as our current one.
Notes:
Don’t take yourself for granted, you could not be at all or be in a much worse shape
You judge peoples because you don’t understand them and you want to make some sense of them
Sometimes you don’t understand yourself and you expect to understand someone that has a completely different background and experiences? That’s funny
