the Wonder of Life


One trait that all life forms have in common is that when an individual has grown up, it has the ability to create offspring. Something that is pretty much unique to life. No-one ever saw a rock grow, or a piece of plastic reproduce. Life, though, does exactly that. 

 Our ability to GIVE life is astonishingly beautiful. They say that you don‘t know what you got until you lose it. People who have lost the ability to reproduce often confirm that theory. They would have loved to take care of a child of their own, with their face and their characteristics, but unfortunately this gift is denied them. That is exactly what life is: it is a gift. Like with any gift, you yourself, who receives it, is not responsible for its existence. None of us asked to be born and yet, we were born. It can be difficult, in fact it is bound to be difficult, but as I will later explain, it is bound to be beautiful just as well. We have a free will that was handed to us through the gift that we received. At first, we didn't know what it was but the moment that we tore apart the wrapping and unveiled the true nature of our gift was the moment when we realized that we are free. Freedom in every aspect of life means the potential for self-actualization in every thing we do. We are free to express who we are deep inside by our actions. But freedom also means that you are unrestricted in the ways you can treat your life. You may end it; like a present that wasn't asked for and is despised, it can be thrown away - it is up to you. I know how tough the times can be but if you chose to endure and stand your ground, you will earn yourself a place and right to be here on earth. If you win the fight, you'll prove to yourself that despite it all, your life is worth living.

The wonder of life is breathtaking to think about. How could something so different arise in this cold environment? What caused its existence? Humans have always questioned the nature of things. We have always been looking for an explanation, that's just the way the human brain works. Due to this longing we have always believed in divine entities. But we will not be able to prove the existence of a creator of the universe, for this entity would have to stand outside of our universe, in another layer running parallel to it, but that is unlimited. We ask for an answer, but in this life the answer is unreachable. We are confined to the universe, which sounds strange if you put it that way but there's really not enough words to express my belief of metaphysics and the way the universe is structured. I don't know whether that's the truth, but I think dealing with the inquiry and figuring out possible answers is worthwhile. The best possible answer that you find is what becomes your belief. One's belief is one's personal truth, but I'll write more about it in another post so stay tuned.

Balance / is life good?

In order to make the point I'm about to make clearer, I encourage you to read through the following verses: How good life seemed, how sweet its rewards, how trivial this grudge or that grievance, how admirable friendship, and the society of one's kind, as, lighting a good cigarette one sunk among the cushions in the window seat - If by good luck there had been ash tray handy, if one had not knocked the ash out of the window in default, if things had been a little different from what they were, one would not have seen, presumably, a cat without a tail, padding softly across the quadrangle. The sight of that abrupt and truncated animal changed by some fluke of the subconscious intelligence the emotional light for me. It was as if someone had let fall a shade. Certainly, as I watched the manx cat pause in the middle of the lawn as if it too questioned the universe, something seemed lacking. Something seemed different. In these thought-provoking lines Virginia Woolf charmingly ...

You are what you do

The world is full of evil. Often we are scarred by default from all the things that are imperfect. Many people have parents who made mistakes, and later on in life blame them for their own failures. But the truth of the fact is that no matter what happened before one, the only one who is responsible for the way we react to the situations given to us, is oneself. Since birth, every person develops his own mindset, that is unique, and we don't know how much of us exactly is determined from birth that we can't change. The environment in which we grow up plays an elementary role in personality development. People who experience a lot of bad things are likely to repeat those patterns, by some way or another. But it is wrong to put the blame exclusively on the wrongness of the world around us. The only way to improve the world is by our own deeds, which starts in our ways of thinking and mindset. It is of utmost importance to analyze your thoughts and sort out the ones that are ben...

Opportunities

Don't be so high and mighty that you don't take advantage of the humble opportunities that are granted to you. There were things that i didn't do that I could have that would have made my life better. Life is very difficult and in order to thrive with this difficult life if an opportunity is presented to you, you shouldn't be so arrogant that you dismiss it. And it's easy to be arrogant, especially as a teenager because you think 'well I'm smarter than everybody else' It's like, actually, no. If you're sixteen and your life isn't so happy, look around and see if there are opportunities that people are granting you. That's some advice that Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist who focuses on improvement of personality and performance, would give his 16 year old self. I think he made a great point. You are responsible for your own happiness, and in order to be happy, you need to find out who you are, where your potential lies, you need...
