I am a victim as well as a non-proud perpetrator of this practice that dominates our society and relationships in general. This is wrong! Nobody knows what is best or better for another human being because not all people are the same. There is no human template in which we all fit! Each person should have the right to decide what is best for them. In our relationships with the people that we love, or even people in general who occupy our eco-system, we can offer – if invited – our honest and true opinion, but we should just leave it there! We should not insist on the person implementing or embracing our advice. If we do this, our honest advice becomes an unwelcomed burden and in the end it will have the opposite effect of what was once desired. Love the people around you, but let them be!

Who the Fuck is Free!
Who the fuck is free? I saw this moniker last night on a shirt and since that moment I cannot get it out of my head. This small sentence tells us a lot about who we are and how our pop culture forces us to comply with certain social musts that remove our individual freedom and as a result our happiness, or at least the opportunity to be happy. It strips us of our right to be happy through freedom. This freedom that we all talk about and embrace is a hostage of many things; financial dependency on the corrupt and inhumane banking system, social dependency on people whom in general we don’t like, work dependency because we did not study and we are not doing what we truly love but what other people at some point told us what was the best thing to do, and personal relationship dependency because we are afraid to speak our mind and run the risk of being alone. So, our freedom depends not on our actions, but on what society forces us to believe is the right thing to do! True freedom is when someone does what makes him or her happy! True freedom is when someone is striped down from his/her dependencies and in the nakedness of being can feel truly happy, without any remorse or fear! Being happy with your thoughts and deeds provides all of us the path to true happiness which in the end is what we all desire and long. Material possessions, relationships that do not work, a job that makes us not want to get up in the morning, and a constant quest for money is not the way! No fear – Be happy!

People are morons!
Generation Apart! Spirit Open!
Fragile Creatures!
People cannot stand on their own two feet. They need the support, the acknowledgement, and the approval of their friends, family, and business associates. They need to hear how good they are, how beautiful they are, that they are head and shoulders above the rest. When we hear those words we become stupid! We do not think about the motive behind those words nor do we question or evaluate the validity of such statements. We love to live in the darkness of our surrounding eco system created to just musk our weaknesses rather than expose them and encourage us to work to make our selves better. There is even worst! God forbid if someone, a fellow human being, rejects us! When this happens, we spent considerable time and energy trying to gain back the approval of the person who rejected us!
Instead, we could look around at the people who truly love us, respect us, and think of us as someone worthy of those beautiful emotions and feelings. Grab the hand of a person around you who truly wants to share with you the positive energy of what it is like to live happy. Try the good for once, reject the bad! Live your life smiling and being happy.
