i woke up with a heavy burden inside my heart. the sun was shiny. the weather was great. but to what was happening around me, i started to ask myself if i was ignorant.
the domino effect. life is nothing but a circular standing domino pieces. if contact equates hurt then the hurt we do to others goes back in a long process, and that's how we tend to not remember it, then the hurt goes back to us. but we keep on hurting each other. in tiny ways. now, people finds it hard to smile anymore. and we do not know how we affect each other's lives. because everybody doesn't care.
we hated this place. this country. this planet. but we never supported it in many ways. on how we pollute our environment. on how we disregard traffic rules. and then we hated traffic. which is also the effect of ignorantly doing things the easy way.
we ask for the real happiness. on how we find bars of gold. our treasure chest. but we disregard the paths, the choices, the decisions we take. because mainly, the focus of the ideal happiness that we consciously know is convenient. we want things easy. and whenever things go scary, we never face it. we run away. unknowingly, the simple joys are the real happiness. the satisfaction of getting the reward after a chaos. as simple as getting a bonus leaf or magic flower after bumping those rocks and those mysterious boxes, jumping fireballs and ducks that looked like turtles. we don't have the princess yet, but we'll get there. after so many stages.
and we don't support each other. because we also try to save only ourselves. because we thought we grew up in a dog eat dog world. but we're not dogs. we're higher beings, who knew it well that if we're sensitive with each other, we will know what will be satisying for everyone. this planet is just one hell of a big basketball team. with just one big basketball ring. we just have to know where our places are, then we'll be having a lot of points. and losing will not exist. the eeny-weeny problem there is eveyrbody loves drama. twists. the bigger problem, addicted to it.
so love, friendship, blahblah, falls into their right places. if we just know that we do not have any intentions of hurting anyone, how could we go wrong. we can get what we want, without stepping into anyone's toes. we just have to wait. for the right time. we should not hurry and at the same time, not take anything for granted. lucky are those who knew when they'll die. because that is when they will ask for quality time to love and befriend the world. but do we really have to wait for that kind of time? i thought everybody wants to be happy.
again. im not preaching. and just slightly, i see god as our life. god is in us. if u know that church song, god is in the hungry, god is in the jail, god is in the little child that wails. if we hurt anyone of us, we hurt god, we hurt ourselves. the domino effect. it leads back to us. pretty good sample is the tithes thing. the bible demanded(take note of THAT term) 10% of what we get and give to god. according to some people who interpreted that. because if we dont give anything to god, (god=church according to some), god will also do the same thing. but isn't god in the hungry, the beggar, the thirsty? why do we have to focus on giving to priests who have cars. who lives well. who eats well. i dont get it. where's god there? i dont treat the bible as a normal paperback, but isnt it subjective of our own interpretation? the tenth part there could be the umpteenth, the nth, a metaphorical symbolism of how to share. for me, god equates life. life needs balance. and i am embracing life. so i am a believer.
i said too much. actually, i still have a lot of thoughts about this place. i dont think we need to be highly intelligent just to observe what's beyond our control. we create our own environment. we do not need to blame anyone for what's happening but ourselves. it's really difficult but starting over, are two big strong words. heard again and again.
i have never dreamed to be a hero. i have never dreamed to be always right. but if i was heard in any way, my little dream could be granted.
to change the world.
