Oh, The Pain and Trauma

Why do we feel pain? So that we know we're alive. But, that is really contradicting the point of living. What's the point of living when we feel pain all the time, right?


Anyway, enough talk about living. Lets talk pain. Everyone feels pain. Great, cliche. Everyone feels different pains. Not bad, still a little cliche. Now, everyone FEELS traumatising pain at some point in their lives. Pain so unbearable we border on the point of life and death, emotionally and physically.


Hell, yeah. Tis' not something one would be particularly fond of talking about. But, the truth is, we need to face our fears, right? When there is something indescribable that is so painfully stuck in our minds, why the hell do even bother to bring it up? Because, we want to. Our nature of wanting to heard and felt by others mysteriously puts us in a state whereby we only want to talk about that deep pain inside, instead of finding ways to resolve it ourselves.


Okay, take 5, guys. Visualize everything we know about our pains or traumas which have been stuck inside us for light years. THIS IS NOT THERAPY. So, once we have grasped that, do whatever we think is best for ourselves. IF you want to let that pain 'destroy' you, let it. Or, if you were to 'destroy' it, then please, by all means, do.


Only we know what's best for ourselves. That's painful enough...

It's Coming Out...

Don't you ever feel like there may be something inside us that is just itching to burst out. Like a feeling so crazy you really want to just let it 'rip'. Unfortunately, we don't know what it is yet. How are we to make sure that these crazy intentions are friendly or foe-ey?



To be exact, it doesn't really matter. Why? Say if we had this burning desire to give flowers to someone. We think it's really unique that we are kind enough to do such a thing. Well, so are others. Whatever burning amibitons we may have, someone else has already 'been there, done that'. The point? Don't let go of what's inside us. Things that may seem petulant and ordinary are essential - when we need them most.



But, what if we don't need them? Do we really always need to have desires? Or is it human nature? My guess, a bit of both.

L-O-V-E

Oh  God, this is not going not be easy.

Look, I'm not stealing Rhonda Byrne's idea that "the Power of Life is Love". All I'm just saying is that love does help a lot. Why am I babbling about all this? Well, I feel it's not only love for people that we need to have, it's the love for everything we pursue. Our companions, jobs or cartoon shows. They say, as we get older. we realize the importance of happiness, well, in my opinion at least, we don't get enough love, that's why we somehow know that happiness is getting harder to reach.

A certain Moonwalker once said, "I just want to spread the love...". Now, he might have been a crazy guy to "want to spread love" but he wasn't. In the end (there really is no end for his records), he was right. Love is something not beyond reach, if only we try hard enough. And we do need it. Simple as that. Denial is just a part of it, right?

So, c'mon guys, spread the love! Man, this is preachy.

Meaningless Pessimism

Being pessimistic is good. Check. Being optimistic is even better. Check. Here's what we need to know about the rules of pessimism:


If we are pessimistic about something, it means we feel something, right? And of course, where there's negativity, there's always room for positivity. In the end, we do feel a little optimistic, right?


Alright, alright, that was really a useless thing to say. I mean, try being a little - lets just say- moody about life. And see whether we will feel more 'upbeat' about life. Why the hell would we care about feeling happier when we just cannot bring ourselves to the fact that there is no way out of our self-inflicted misery! Imagine we're in a hole, and we can't seem to get out, no matter what we do. And plus, the hole is getting narrower and narrower, and soon, we are plummeted into some kind of deep... I'm going to stop right there.


There we have it, folks. Unwanted, meaningless pessimism. But, do we really need it? For the sake of optimism to breed in our very minds?

The Art of Art

Wait, what?


What can we define of art? Well, as a complete 'unknown person' in art (I failed in art class), I can only ask anyone out there, who would be kind enough to spare his or her thoughts on the meaning of art. But, generally, isn't art about feeling something abstract? You know, looking at something familiar at a different vantage point.


So, looking at something differently can be shortened to one word; perspective. We must obtain perspective. Yeah, yeah, we all know how it is to see through perspective. Or do we? Often we are told to look at things in another way, and try as we do, we fail. Who's to blame? Nope, wrong question. What's to blame? Yep, that's what we should ask ourselves when we are faced with problems like how do I persuade my kid to play sports or how do I keep a healthy body. But, how do know what to take into perspective?


Compelling.That's how we need to view perspective. Be so compelling we wouldn't sleep.
