Vital Lesson

by Seeker of Truth   Nov 20, 2006


I used to wake up in the morning and not think a thing,
Then I woke up and thought about the past day;
I would wake up and wonder about the day ahead,
But now I wake up almost feeling dead, thinking about what I've done and what's been done to me.

We can all only live life, tackle its challenges, and try to strive for a right path. But some stray from that path and never want to return, thus losing themselves in the clutches of the demon's claws. The demon of hatred, violence, jealousy, ill will, and other usually unnecessary malicious emotions.

"Two wrongs don't make a right." Do people even believe that anymore? How can anyone be so blind as to fall prey to themselves? They only see how others have wronged them, not the fact that revenge doesn't solve anything. Human emotions are so fragile, so strong; so confusing, so clear; so definite, so indefinite.

People don't see because they're too selfishly wrapped-up in their own emotions. No one is free from this, but to repeat it and not acknowledge the wisdom from such a troublesome situation is pure foolishness. Some people never learn, and I have no sympathy for those who fight the truth. However, those who want to know how to help themselves and others, I have complete patience, sympathy, and humility for. A lot of times it's harder to help than hurt. But that's no excuse for causing the suffering of another. There is no excuse for causing the suffering of another, yet we do it all the time.

The power of the mind rules humanity, yet that's just the problem. People have to rule the power of the mind, not the other way around. Will we ever learn? I fear not; but as long as I live, I know that hope for such a fate shall live on. It's never to late, unless we end up killing ourselves in this dangerous process of gaining such a vital piece of knowledge and wisdom.

We hold ourselves back, and it's about time we wise-up and start paying attention to reality.
