If you don’t smile, the world will stop smiling at you. It is a give and take. People are selfish. They would try to avoid anything that will make them feel uneasy, things that will not make their day. The world is cruel. The world is not that friendly. The world will only be friendly with the person who is friendly to the world.
Take things easy as it comes. Take things easy as it goes. Take things the way it is. Just take it. We cannot control what comes to us. But we can control how to take it. Many times we take it harder than it actually comes. Why? Because it concerns with the set of value, the set of hopes, the set of aspirations that we have. We protect our territory. We guard it with fear and aggression. We just hope that we would be right at all time while we are not really bothered whether it would wrong someone; yes, as long as it is proven to us that we are right, even by ourselves, alone.
We devour many things in our lives. The best part is we devour our ego. We love that too much when we feel we are better than someone else surrounding us. We love that no matter whether we hurt someone. We are addicted to it. Actually we cannot live without one. We are taught to live with pride, dignity with whatever that the society tells us to believe. If we don’t we are a person without the future. We are the person without brain. We should be ashamed to ourselves.
How many times in our lives that we think that we actually do what we really believe in, just purely do it for the sake of doing it and will not let someone know about it? How many times that we actually follow our pure heart without any perception, without any frame of mind, without reference, without caring what others will think? We just do whatever that we are told, whatever we are made to believe to do.
Life is tough to live already. We just make it tougher for our lives to live. We just make it tougher for our mind to take. We just make it tougher for our brain to work. We really make it tougher to live to what we set as the parameter. We push the limit, but who actually set the limit? We do or the society does. How many times that we actually set our own limitation without shame that it is all what we can live with? We just live with whatever is set for us. We are born to be hanged. We are born to be chained. We are born to be bound. Why can’t we be born to be free? Why can’t we just set ourselves free?
In fact the very persons who ties our mind, our hands, and our bodies are we. We live with what our mind set us to live. We make all excuse to live the most comfortable lives with stirs of mind. The mould of the mind that we have is the mix that we just said it is the right taste for us. It needs to be smooth, sweet enough, and salty enough, with no bitterness. And the blend we have is just right for us that are what our mind said.
A tree stands there. Wind blows. Storm comes. The tree remains tree. The tree has life. The tree has feeling. The tree has whatever it takes to live. Why can’t we live like a tree? Why can’t we just be there and stand with the mind of our own. Storm might uproot us. But at least we still can say that we are a tree. For us human beings, who we really are; a smart one, an ugly one, a handsome one, a stupid one? We can’t just be the one, the only one unique in the world, the only one that no one can compare. why can’t we just be?
