| Today i realised how blind everyone and everything has become. They all act upon motives which will never help them, and are irrelevant to anything in their lives. You cannot hold onto your new clothes for happiness, or your hair, or your friends, or even yourself. The only thing you can be is true. People have meaningless lives around me, the lives which people lead are indeed predominantly consumer driven, people are lead astray from what matters by the media and superficial things. People 'give themselves a break' with a 'bar of chocolate' or whatever food or object they find temporary happiness in. It is like watching people top themselves up. For a short while they feel full, but its only on the surface, they aren't filling any void they are merely covering it up. So they keep buying, or eating, or bitching, or smoking.
Neither can we truly 'live' in this world or life if we try and get from it things or answers which can only be obtained by beings which transcend our conscious and physical state.
The realisation that living to our true potential and a natural potential would better fulfill us. |
