Thoughts

EDIT 21/01/2016 2:11 am: Lol, sorry if I sound like an antsy teenager, it was a particular stage of my life. I still think it's a good reflection, so I'll leave it here, but it would definitely be a bit different if I had written this today. Meh.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm starting to ACTUALLY realize how fucked up this society is. I always knew there was something wrong, but now I''m starting to realize what it is.

Our lives are meaningless. Life is the greatest gift we were given, it's the manifestation of that energy and oneness (God?) that's inside and outside everything and permeates every atom of this universe, and how do we waste it? Waking up every damn morning to spend another day in this damn nonsense, stuffing our lives with material bullshit in hope that it will give us happiness.

People think that accumulating money and stuff will give them "freedom".
"One day I'll be rich and famous and will have a big house and will have whatever I want and yadda yadda yadda" and what happens when this actually becomes true? they realize their life sucks.
We spend our entire lives in the regrets of the past and with the fear of the future.
We are so caught up in this that we don't realize there is something else and that is here right NOW.

The human being can either live as a beast or as a God which is our true nature, ("Fatti non foste per viver come bruti" said my compatriot Dante Alighieri in the Divina Commedia) and our society forces us to live as the former.

We, as humanity, have to refuse this bullshit, realize that all this is an illusion and that we are eternal, while the material world is not.
We have to raise our consciousnesses and humanity will be One awareness, suffering will be erased from our existence.
we will be God as we are meant to be.

But I wonder if this is possible, I wonder if we are ready, because we have been thaught for centuries that this nonsense is the true reality, we have mental barriers that we are not willing to let down maybe because we don't even realze we have them.

Humanity needs to evolve, and when it will happen we won't be human anymore but we'll be Gods.

I leave you know with these lyrics (from Akeldama - The Faceless) that inspired this rant:

"To live in true freedom is to release all inhibitions
The fears of mortality must be forgotten ;
No longer living for death , no longer dying to live
Existence and non -existence coagulating
Safety found through ignorance ; shackling human individuality."

Goodbye my friends.

 

Very intelligent.... Beautifully written and articulate, my friend
Here's my advice:

You sound just like I did when I was younger!

For your sake, stop concerning yourself with how OTHERS live. You know, it's fine to analyze humanity, societal constructs and the problems therein, but if it's genuinely getting you down, you need to step back, care less, focus inward and enjoy your mental acuity and liberated mind. You are free from these constructs, and no matter how much you try, you will NEVER be able to change people's way of living to become this way.

Life is tiring enough without getting worked up about the state of life around you. You got your own shit on your own plate

There are things much greater than humanity, both in the universe and at work here. Don't worry yourself.

You have but one life in this physical realm - enjoy it, instead of over-analyzing things around you to the point of despair. That is just another waste of life and equates to the waste of life we see all around us.

You know, one day we will all be gone, ecosystematic nature will regain control and the FUCKING TIIIIIIINY blip in time that we existed in relation to the Universe's existence will be forgotten

Death is but another stage of "life". It will come, and that's when we will actually awaken, so don't concern yourself with the ins and outs of down here, and just enjoy your own awareness, your own living!

Peace
EDIT: Just saw that you're 18 - you are considerably more intelligent than most 18 year olds I know, man! You've got a lot going for you, buddy! But trust me.....your cynicism and bleak outlook on the world around you should dissipate and develop into a more upbeat view on life, hopefully.

I certainly know that when I was younger and having the exact same revelations, I felt the world was a really fucked up place, everybody was ignorant and everything was going to shit! I mean, yeah you could argue that's true, but hey, what is the actual point in walking around with a black cloud around you? ( I was a little more literate and articulate than that, but I'm in a rush to head out just now!)

You don't need to fall for it, and I can happily say you never will, but you can't let how others get on with their life actually get you down, friend. If anything, it's none of your business!

 

hi mate thanks for the imput I really appreciate that.
yes I totally get what you say, live and let live isn't it?
it's just that if people lived more on the spiritual side of the world it would be a much better place IMHO. but as you can say I can do nothing for this, it would take several lifetimes to make some significant change.

thanks for the suggestions. I'm definetely trying to stop over analyzing things (which is not always bad in itself but can become engulfing) and I started meditation some months ago. it really helps cleaning the mind from random garbage and making space for actually meaningfull thoutghs, I also am considering starting a martial art.

I totally agree that we have to enjoy our lives, since life is a great gift.
it's not that I don't enjoy life, but I just want that bit more than boring everyday life. and i'm sure I'll find it.

cheers mate
