The wise man questions.

 
 
“The sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanities.”  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, philosopher, society critic, lecturer, and poet.

There is no bigger fool than the fool who does not want to see, than the fool who follows the carrot society dangles in his face.
 
Without questioning, without self-exploration, without a fresh perspective one cannot see reality; hence, one’s mind remains stubborn and chained to a blinding society who does not care about the freedom or happiness of the individual, but a society that only cares about the established patterns, old traditions, ways of living which sell and increase its own power.

The said human being then, chained and subconsciously subdued, quite often dull and depressed, with certain bouts of an anxious and overtaxed mind, begins to accept the crooked “reality” this idiotic and enslaving society has cast upon him, just like a very strong spell he lives every day as he wakes up.
And so, he is now dismal and his narrow mind is the world this society has created for him, where he sees only the work he hates, where he sees no deeper understanding, where he knows only struggle, pain and pleasure, but no happiness beyond that.


To awaken from all this is to question all this, every little detail; thus, question even what you know right now to be true, question more and more, never stop.

The wise man knows that he knows nothing, because the wise man knows that he will always be questioning and exploring as long as a breath remains in his body.

Be the wise man, not the fool, the slave, the ignorant servant who follows the carrot dangled in his face….

One with it.



“We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.” ~ Helen Keller; American author, political activist, and lecturer.


“You learn more from losing than winning, more from pain than joy.” You learn how to keep going.” ~ Morgan Wootten; American former high school basketball coach.



It is extremely important to develop ourselves and vital for true happiness in life to self-reflect and know our deepest selves, our darkness as well as our light, our pain as well as our joy.

Sadly, most people today do not understand that in order to know why something happens in life, you must embrace it, become well acquainted with it, study it closely; and, opposite to this, you must never escape and try to ignore it, specially when it comes to emotional and psychological issues.

The human being suffers pain, and, no matter your unique situation in life or who you are, you must learn to adjust to this; because pain is meant for your mind to analyze it and comprehend it in order to not allow it to destroy you and your dreams.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.  Do not run away from pain through activities, relationships, jobs, religion, travels, and the rest; but stay with pain and learn the lesson in them.  Do not avoid pain and what makes you uncomfortable, but realize that it is a blessing in disguise so you can grow.


Personally, I welcome challenges and pain, because If my father and brother hadn’t died, if my mother hadn’t nearly been killed by my once stepfather, if I hadn’t gone through so many challenges in my life, I wouldn’t have awakened to many wonderful things I see so clearly now, and, of course, I wouldn’t be sharing this with you and trying to help you in your own life.

So, you see, life turns to be wonderful and miraculous once you study and analyze those moments that have caused you so much pain and still anguish.  I hope you can see this, too.

The Way of The Warrior.

 
“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.” ~ Aristotle.
“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.  Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” ~ Marcus Aurelius.

                                                        The Way of The Warrior

One cannot simply survive and each day hope for the best without altering what one does, but one must do anew, change one’s actions, change one’s ideas, become a warrior in one’s own life. To see life with different eyes, fresh eyes, such eyes that are not exhausted by stubborn views and oppressing situations; therefore, a new breath must bring a fresh start, which means boldly gather yourself and keep making yourself better without stopping to self-pity or to entertain the opinions of others.

Opinions are never facts for the warrior who is wise and based on truth, so opinions do not shake him one bit when the fools of the world open their mouths to spew their ego-centered garbage.
When everyone else sees darkness and chaos, you must see light and order; thus, your mind becomes the mind of a warrior whose only purpose is the truth.  And the truth is that which lies within yourself, and the truth is what makes the warrior because self-love is the truth; then, whenever you see lies and deceit in the world, whenever people and situations try to pressure you into lying to yourself, into deviating from your own path, your mind will be strong and firm upon the truth which is deep within you.

This is what separates the warrior who sees and knows the light from the individual who only survives in the darkness because he does not see and know the light in himself; thus, the warrior is never lost, and the individual in darkness is lost even until physical death comes to claim him, and when that happens the fool has lost his time.
