I talked about attending a conference recently.
We were able to visit a park at the end of it.
There was a particular ride that had a massive sign ‘Dare to Ride?’
I made up my mind to go on that particular one.
There is something beautiful; yet dangerous at the end of every great ordeal.
We all need something that breaks the wall and clears the cobwebs around our lives once a month or year.
Even though this experience was more physical than psychological.
I believe questions can be more beneficial psychologically.
The truth is –
We are wounded by the past and scared of the future…
We will come back to address this statement.
Read carefully from here…
What if 1 plus 1 isn’t 2 and it’s been accepted and proven to be 4?
Then we will never know 2.
4 would have replaced 2, and 2 would never have been known or talked about.
Thoughts and reasoning make you see things in a different light, making you ask the question, ‘What if?’
I believe that we should all ask that question once in a while. It will help broaden our scope of things.
You wouldn’t be hypnotized into a single belief or system of doing things. That’s the only way of being a genius.
Doing and seeing what others don’t.
To be wounded by the past is to understand that our past was a decision of something or someone.
Some natural laws and principles govern the earth.
These laws and principles can not be stopped or changed.
Any man did not enact them.
Yet, there are other laws made by men.
Principles and theories developed by men to create order in the world, yet these same principles serve as a shackle to others.
Only a few understand these principles and use them to their advantage.
On the other hand…
To be scared of the future is to embrace the past and continue to live in it.
Why are we scared of the future?
Scared to accept the truth and what it stands for. Knowing fully there is a loophole in all that we currently believe and stand with.
We tagged questioning life as seeking chaos when the truth is we are seeking meaning.
We are seeking liberation.
Until you come to a point where you know you’ve come to accept your beliefs and way of life not just as something you were born with but as something you came to accept out of your conclusion; you are likely not liberated.
Yes.
I wonder why Genesis comes before Exodus, because, without an Exodus, there will be no Genesis.
Without letting go of the old wine, how can you take in the new? If you take in both, you will destroy yourself.
You have to seek meaning beyond the ordinary surface of things.
You have to question life.
I hope my piece gets you thinking today.
