Ideology vs Action



almost everyone knows what is wrong and what is right .. many even preach it till the end of days !

yet when life happens, why the paradoxical confusion ?

what cripples us ?  we stumble, fall and inevitably drown in the regret of our digressions ... a pitiful bundle of sorrow and self loathing !

what an awful state of existence ... but why ?  what compels us to be so utterly stupid: once is even forgivable, but we do it again and again and again and ..

oddly enough, it is really no big secret - desire !

desire and it's younger sister, anger, wreck havoc within our psyche - this constant agitation of the mind, its resulting uncontrollable impatience, boil over into sheer animalistic rage and all the gates come crashing down.. self annihilation - or as a wise man once said " pop goes the weasel ! "

we will do anything, rationalize it all, just to get what we think we want, what we feel we need and of course, 2 year later, we don't even remember what it was or why we felt it was soooo important !

and the ensuing sorrow, the hurt caused, loved ones ignored, all those bridges burnt - for what ?

we compromised our soul and in return we bought a mirage ... the ultimate con:  perpetuated by ourselves upon ourselves ...

how truly foolish !

fortunately, it's never too late to be what one envisions one can be - discipline, courage and the truth are all you need on your side... the rest will follow.

live well.

  3. What is the cause for desire? Spirit is lying dormant- gone to sleep.
    the question before a thinker would be how to awaken the spirit....seemingly fractured and fragmented by reasons beyond human comprehension...

    shall i invoke the Spirit by calling out to it: " Oh! wake up my spirit- you have slept long enough"????
