Child's Play

Ups and downs. Punches and kicks. Flowers and Gifts. Which is it? Confusion of the unknown. The fear of the future. The search of the true meaning of this World. Surrounded by children running a country of children that play dirty on the playground. Those who have mercy fall off the monkey bars and land in the mud. Those who are conniving push and pull to climb to the top. In the end, they slide down alone anyway. We are a species of copycats with an exception of a rare few. We follow in our parent's footsteps creating a never-ending cycle of bad behaviour through generations. The internet has come to change our ways, our misinterpretations, our loneliness and our inability to assess a situation without emotional involvement. The future is here, and yet the stubbornness is holding us back. Peter Pan possesses all of us. The clock is ticking. The future is waiting for us to become the people we are meant to be. We can't seem to rid of these useless thoughts that make our egos bleed, creating a wall of soldiers to protect us. How could we have become so emotionally unstable that we have built this devil called the "Ego". They say that ignorance is bliss, but do they know what it is like to be on the other side? To see yourself as not a self. The self is your own experience of phenomena, your very own perception, emotions and thoughts. How did those come into existence? By the outside world; the people that surround you, the situations you were lucky or unlucky to be part of. Appreciate that you are alive to be graced by those people who pass by your life teaching you extraordinary lessons. In return, you can share that knowledge. We humans have devoured this world whole. The fighting must stop, the selfishness must disappear. Look into yourself like you would look into the eyes of an animal. You should see all the things that you believe people can't see. Purity and loyalty. Stare at the evil that lurks in your thoughts, those addictive thoughts. Stare at it until it can no longer stare back, until it gives up and disappears. No one said it would be easy but it can be done. The pain that sticks like pins and needles in our hearts are all memories from the past. The past is history that exists only to teach us what to avoid and not to repeat. Holding a grudge can only hurt you more than anyone else. Your body is your home and your soul are the lights, you only have one for this lifetime, use it wisely.
