What is true? What is false?
These questions are originally part of a poem I had submitted on Blogging Elementary as part of the “Rate my English Entry” contest. It’s fine to say I underperformed, and it’s good in a way. I get to learn better.
Today for a change, I thought, “How about giving myself the answers to the questions a week old?”
Let’s see how I perform there, answering a few of my questions:
I often wonder if it is true or false?
The expectations of people to situations and circumstances. Acceptance and Rejections. Joys and Sorrows. Move-in or Move-out. Connections and Disconnections. Materialism or Minimalism. Wake up or sleep away. Be Healthy or Be Unhealthy. Conscious living or careless living.
Choices are ours. Make it a truthful experience or a falsified one.
Irrational Illusions or Derived Delusions?
Most of us on this beautiful earth follow a regime, a routine, a time-keeping schedule, which are awesome traits. As I do, there are those who are driven to the extra edge of polishing ‘just-to-be-safe’ routines.
Do our beliefs, divisions, rituals pave the way to happiness?
Beliefs, divisions, rituals, and following them on a global level do not signify a truthful path. Stories or beliefs created by others do not define our present and future. People can make, create devices and procedures, share their experiences and call them divine. But do we see things on the same level as others?
I am afraid (not literally), not!
I would never say positive thinking. It’s more about balance. There are two sides of a coin, the “pros” and “cons” to a personal choice. We could always weigh our options, what is right for us personally, not what is right for the people around us. While we see the best for the people around us, be mindful that the same people may not think on the same level as you.
So. Be. Aware. Of. Your. Ideologies. True or False.
It is for us to create, inspire, truthfully devise our plans for success.
Or
It is for us to destroy, create despair, housing fears within ourselves, blocking our chances to success!
On a personal level, however, in times of doubt, we could ask ourselves:
Why should I appear different from what I am?
Honestly, what is our core needs for a creative side? While we express ourselves, we could inspire others to create vibrant circles that keep moving outward. Good energies. Good aspects. Good works. Good environment. The Gates of opportunities. There are times we act to please, avoid self-judgment, avoid being truthful, and live dual lives. But how long? Are we not self-medicating to handle the daily stresses? Are we increasing the abnormalities of our own body by constant worry and fear of the future?
Do I need to follow what others believe?
Our environment is about creating choices for ourselves and others. We could live in chaos, poverty, disputes, hate speech yet still choose to rise above our circumstances. We have plenty of people around us, complaining and exasperating about life’s trials and tribulations. We are experts in the act of fingerpointing at others, crying when others make decisions for us, and showering a fists act when others turn against us. Just spare a moment and reflect:
Who will walk on my path if I copy someone’s life?
Nobody
Seriously.
“Wake up to the sunrise, for we were at rest, the pangs of bleakness or sleep,
Let’s learn about hard work, teamwork, dedication from crawling ants,
Let’s learn from the birds, chirping, finding food and flying around,
Let’s learn from the fish in the sea, their swift movements in unruly waters,
Let’s learn from the animals, chasing their prey for their meat,
They are all busy, doing what they ought to do,
Their rule is to wake up, work, seek rest for themselves,
We too deserve a break, to rise, be ourselves.”
Truth is what is within us. Chose to live it wisely. Your inner core will thank you for it. Your passions, self, worth will start growing to better heights. Find the best and Live the best!
