If You Want To Know The True Nature Of Human Beings,

"If you Want To Know The True Nature Of Human Beings,
Look At Children When An Adult Opens Their Arms In A Sincere, Loving Embrace."

Even though we try to bury our Inner Child as best we can,
deep inside,
we are all those little children desperately wanting to be hugged and loved.

...i know i am...

Learning ANYTHING Is Easy, If You Feel Loved And Understood

"Learning ANYTHING Is Easy, If You Feel Loved And Understood."

What holds people back from learning is NOT the supposed difficulty of the material,
it is the emotional burden they associate with the material.

That simple.

If someone feels Welcome to knowledge,
that the world wants them to learn it and that they're learning it would make the world a happier place,
there is nothing they cannot learn.

"The Pressure Of The Heart,
Blocks The Flowing Of The Mind."

We human beings aren't robots.
We can't simply stop our hearts from feeling, just to make the mind work.

We are not robots.

We can suppress.
We can redirect,
but we cannot remove,
nor stop the needs of our heart.

Drugs Are The Substitute For The Need To Be Loved

"Drugs Are The Substitute For The Need To Be Loved."

We all need to be loved to be healthy.

When we cannot have the love that we need,
drugs help us to suppress that need,
so that we are able to continue to function,
but,
the need to be loved hasn't gone away...

If You Cannot Be Honest With Others, Nor Tell Them How You Really Feel...

"If You Cannot Be Honest With Others,
Nor Tell Them How You Really Feel,
At Least Be Honest With Yourself,
And Be True To How You Feel."

"Those Who Cannot Keep Up, Will Be Left Behind."

This is one of the silent-truths of our society.
We still are not a genuinely kind species, and are willing to sacrifice one another for selfish goals.
Why?
Because of pent-up, unexpressed feelings, which become infected and perverted like an untreated wound.
The solution?
The free expression of our true feelings.
That simple. : )

====

Now, sadly, it is still the case that if you express opinions and viewpoints which others find distasteful or disagreeable, you will likely be punished in some fashion, whether overtly or covertly, but the iron fist will find a way to strike you.

With this sad reality in mind,
make a promise to yourself.
"Even though you cannot be true to others, you will be true to yourself."
This will make you strong,
and when you are strong enough,
someday,
you will be able to express your truth to others,
and they will not be able to stop you with the threat of pain or punishment.

Remember :
"Just Believe In Yourself!" -_^

Regardless Of What Emotions You Feel, Feel Them...

"Regardless Of What Emotions You Feel, Feel Them.
Regardless Of What Thoughts You Have, Have Them.
Your Emotions And Your Thoughts,
Are Expressions Of Yourself.
Experience Them Fully,
They Make Up You Who You Are."

So many of the things we think and feel are "apparently" not conducive to growth,
but, I think we all can agree that at any given moment, we cannot see all possibilities or eventualities.

I believe a person should permit themselves to feel all their emotions,
to heed all their thoughts.
Blocking or otherwise holding them back is an act of denial.
"Denying oneself."
Doing so cannot but cause a split in one's mind and heart.

Honesty Creates Bridges Of Understanding. Falsehood Creates...

"Honesty Creates Bridges Of Understanding.
Falsehood Creates Chasms Of Fear And Ignorance."

We have to stop punishing honesty as a species.

HONESTY IS ALWAYS THE BEST POLICY.

But, we will never be honest with each other, if we keep punishing people when they are honest and we find that honesty disagreeable.

All our problems come from lies and the hurt feelings they inspire.
Honesty hurts sometimes, but it is a clean hurt, which if treated correctly will not fester, infect and manifest itself in a perversion of human nature (e.g : violence).

If A Person Does Not Feel They Can Be Honest With Others...

"If A Person Does Not Feel They Can Be Honest With Others,
Then The Person Whom Others Deal With Is A Person Wearing A Mask
And Not The True Person."

Why do people wear masks?
To avoid being hurt.
Where are the sources of hurt coming from?
Fear and its manifestations : violence, insults, threats.
What causes fear?
Ignorance.
What is the remedy for ignorance?
Education.
What is the solution to the felt need to wear masks?
Education,
and,
the permission to express feelings freely and truthfully.

Ah. Dialectic a le Socrates.
Gotta love the question-answer pattern.

When You Believe In Yourself, You Can Truly...

"When You Believe In Yourself,
You Can 'Truly' Believe In Others."

Most of the time we pay lip service to the idea of believing in other people, but we do not speak with sincerity.
Why not?
Because there is a thorn digging inside of us, stating clearly that we do not believe in ourselves, and how can we genuinely believe in other people.

Simply stated :
"I don't feel good, so how can I feel good towards others."

What do I say?
I don't think you should.
I don't think anyone should feel good towards others, if they don't feel good themselves.
Forcing oneself to do so will be living a lie, and that's no good for oneself, nor the people whom one proposes to be supposeldy kind towards.

Find Belief In Yourself And You Can Believe In Others.

Even Though Nobody Else Wants To Listen To You...

"Even Though Nobody Else Wants To Listen To You,
To How You Really Feel,
To Who You Really Are,
YOU Can Listen To YOURSELF.
You Can Always Be There For You.
Be There : For Yourself.
After All, You Are Always There."

Just Believe In Yourself! -_^

In A Capitalist System, Everyone Feels Pressured...

"In A Capitalist System, Everyone Feels Pressured Into Living A Lie."

Competition.
Survival of the Fittest.
The Strong Survive. The Weak Perish.
Maxims like these are the guiding principles of the Capitalist system.

Is it any wonder then that people constantly feel the need to :
build themselves up,
put their best foot forward,
make a good first impression,
whitewash socially unacceptable parts of themselves,
and other beliefs which basically state :

"Who You Are Is Never Good Enough. You Must Always Exaggerate To Make Yourself Appear Better Than You Actually Are, Lest You Be Relegated To A Meaningless Role In Life."

Someone tell me that this is the best way for humanity to be enjoying corporeal existence,
because I-Don't-Think-So.

I believe everyone is capable of doing everything,
if,
they are welcomed and believed in.
That's it.
So simple.
Why's it hard then?
Because our repulsive Capitalist society hasn't produced people who feel happy enough inside to be capable of welcoming or believing in others.
sad isn't it?
sigh...
Well. It's up to all of us to rectify this problem.

Living a lie,
Endless falseness and fake smiles is draining all of our souls of joy.
All we have to do is welcome and believe in each other and all of us can do anything our hearts and minds can imagine.

Me?
I'm tired of living a lie.
I want to be living a life of believing in others,
and being believed in.

Believe It! -_^
