There was
a time, where I believed cynical was cool, I thought expecting the worse was
smart and realistic. I went on in my life thinking simple is naïve, and you
have to be somehow bitter to be able to meet life. I lived my life,
went through hard times believing deep down that this suffering is what will
make me a better, wiser, and smarter person. In some way it did, but as well it
broke me into hundreds of pieces scattered everywhere. It took a lifetime to see
through that and will take another lifetime to put it all back.
I said it
before, we are living in a time of pretend. We are living in an era of fear of
emotions – fear of faith - afraid of going deeper than the surface. We believe
that intelligence is the only thing that got us here. Ignoring so many aspects
of life that don’t fit in our perception of how life should look like. We got
too arrogant with all this technology, rules, and advancement we reached, and
sincerely we forgot completely where we came from.
The truth is, we forgot that despite the complexity of our lives and choices; life itself still pretty simple. We created these complex philosophies, ideologies, and structures attempting to understand our existence and within that chaos, we got lost. We started to see life through the chaos, complexity, and even misery we created. But that is not necessarily how life should be. Life is a projection of our desires and wants. Life is a field of energy that starts and ends with us, we can use it as we wish. The question is, can we take full responsibility for our lives and choices?
Without long philosophical conversations: Life is magic, and the inability to see that magic is just ignorance on our part. Realism is a failed attempt to understand life. Cynicism is the lack of wisdom to understand the simplicity of life that lays before us. And bitterness is the response to our feeling of incompetence. Intelligence is beneficial to help us discover life, however, intelligence is not wisdom. Wisdom is that wonderful equanimity acquired through experiences. It is the ability to see through all complexities in humble dexterity.
