Just saw this movie — Collateral. Tom Cruise dies in the Subway. And he is an assassin. Watching such scenes gives me an ache for murderers, looters and deceits — who were fighting the Society and died on their run. We labelled them wrong!
Rules do not exist. They are vague, imperfect, dodgy and superficial. You are a racist in Pakistan, you can lead a community here. You are a muslim in America, you can lead an institution.
Our regions define rules. Some times politicians define them. Mostly it is a society that has bombarded its stupid myth over us while we were young. And we grew into a bad product of its vague statures.
It is true — there are no rules.
But there got to be some limits to which we can take an action?
If you can [you are capable of] spending the rest of your life in confinement, you are free to do all things. All things include murder, steal, rape or smuggle.
But if you are ok with your current circumstances. And your elders, society or siblings do not pinch you. And you think life is in good shape. You can live a good life — starting today. You are free to do your job, stay quite, do not take a risk, bring in profits or get old in your current shape.
It never happens, I have not met a person who is sattisfied with his current circumstances.
Normal life has its rent. You got to pay it. And If you want to lead the constitution or write your own, you got to be WILLING to sit in a confinement for the rest of your life. Confinement is Prison with no movies, job, wife, family or car. It is a reality. And you got to be brave to fight your fears.
Luckily — there is a sweet middle spot in between the two extreems.
1st :- Accept the losses you can not afford. Label yourself coward, loser or failure in those areas of life which you fear to fight head on. When someone asks you, instead of giving justifications tell him upfront, you have fears.
Next :- When you see a murderer, label him brave and call yourself coward. When you see a rapist, label him strong. When you see a black, a slave, a weak, or one in chains, in stead of giving him / her bad names — label him more powerful than you are and accept your defeat.
Last :- Now define your limits. The things that you are willing to lose. Create a circle ⭕️. Inside this circle you know you can afford risks. Here you should live / die / rape or steal. The circle inside which you are ok with the repurcussions and consequences.
In your circle, try high jumps. Sometimes act bold. At times speak louder. Win weird names, Live lose and do not get out of the circle, ever.
What is this Circle to me?
For me, it is Quran. It allows me to pack my bag and move out — go nomad. It allows me to fight good. It allows me to die quick, early and sooner. It allows me all things that transforms places, spaces and people.
I feel great, once, I am inside it. Outside this circle their are things that are proven wrong; rape, mafiasim, societal norms and junk meat. Outside Quran, are all weird things, people have become habitual of pursuing.
Strong Suggestion
To be honest, these journals, are journals. Where I talk to myself and convince myself to get into a certain action.
What suggestion do I give myself today?
I would tell my-self
Take the jump everyday. Do one thing stupid everyday. Something that is not normal and it is ok according to Quran. That way I might manage to bring people together. That way I might print a book. That way, I might convert my local mosque into a cool co-working space.
Conclusion
Guys, dream stupidly big. When your circles are small, let your brain wander into the lands that give you chills. Liberate your self — in your thoughts the least.
Dreaming gives imagination. Imagination gives plans. Plans gives intelligence. Intelligence gives confidence. And confidence brings in happiness, consistency and mission.
Live good. Like the leaders of the world. Stop limiting yourself — because your mother underestimated you, or your friends bullied you. You still are a wonderful human being, capable of living to your best potentials. You can become a comedian, or a dancer, or a speaker, or a ferrari formula 1 driver. You can become all things. You are great. You are sober. You are enough. You need good people around you. You need good friends. You need claps, ovation and pats. You are done with the negation and bulliesm. You need to live, get back on your feet and dance.
You need to define your own circle, inside which their are no rules.
