Desires

Desires

When it's cold, we seek heat

When it's hot, we seek cool

When it's quiet, we seek liveliness

When it's loud, we seek solitude

When in a relationship, we seek to be single

When single, we seek a relationship

When one desires a different circumstance,

one loses the gratitude of the present moment.

If one lives for tomorrow, one can never find peace.

True Self

At this time, I feel as though we are withholding our own happiness unless one has the objects or status they wish to have to feel their own happiness.

Too many times do I hear of people feeling unacceptable of themselves until they own a fancy car, having a big house, and a spouse who loves them dearly. To wish for these things are not wrong to feel, but when one associates their own well being towards the contrast of their happiness till one owns a certain status to the public's eyes, is to imprison ones self towards the judgement of others.

Observing this phenomenon, one starts to realize that these kind of acts re-frame ones true identity and the genius that is the self. Only when one finds the courage of acting upon their true nature, one can reveal the true orchestra of wondrous sonnets that one was born to play.

Life is but a Dream

Life is but a Dream

Let us suppose that you are dreaming right now.

Within this dream, it has created a certain sets of rules and values of itself to maintain the order and balance in such a way, it feels exactly as if one lives on planet Earth. One must eat, sleep, know the existence of gravity and so forth.

Knowing that this is just a dream, and you will wake up back to reality once you pass away in this dream, how would you like to enjoy this experience?
