Hi ,
Many thoughts race through my mind as I sit and ponder what I am going to write about today. A big question gives rise to multiple doubts, about the way the world and the people in it function.
It is sometimes hard to fit in, it is hard to fathom the complexities of humans and move beyond the false facade. The biggest lesson for me recently has been that truth is always difficult to digest. People are scared to hear the truth, even if you are a highly ‘so-called’ spiritual person, the truth will hurt to the extent that the person who spoke the truth is seen in the wrong light.
People who carry their false egos on their sleeves are always given the nod in the society we live in, even if that society is an alternative to the mainstream way of thinking and living.
This is what is disturbing for me - we live in an illusionary world where diplomats rule, where you scratch my back, I scratch yours is the way of living, where truth is not appreciated, where what you teach and preach are poles apart, where the so-called alternative has turned into a fad, the more manipulative you are the higher you go up the ladder.
Truth seekers have no place in this society, authenticity is scoffed at, and this has put me in a big dilemma! What is this life we are living?
I retreat into my sacred space to make sense of this world, or do I need to make sense of it all? No wonder a significant number of philosophers, and thinkers led a reclusive life, away from society.
The words of Lord Byron come to mind ~
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
