Surviving is not Living...

With the freedom western democracy allow - its social civility, rule of law and technological advances to ease the chores of modern life, yet we are still unhappy Creatures.  

We are unhappy because we chose to survive life instead of living life.  We have chosen to fear life instead of embracing life...  and for that reason,  we remain enslaved to social pressure - ever seeking approval and constantly concerned about image.   

We are captives surviving captivity.  Instead of giving life to the lifeless, we choose to take it away... even from ourselves.  Choosing to survive Life has left deep war-wounds across our Spirit; leaving us physically and emotionally scarred and depressed.  Each day slowly becomes a repeat of the last... each task becomes energy-draining.  You can almost feel your Life-force being slowly sucked from your body.  

We've lose our passion for Life, now life has become merciless and without passion toward us.   We're sliding out of control down a seemingly endless spiral toward boredom or death (whichever come first).  We fail to change our condition because we believe that "Life is tough".  We accept pervasive, restrictive policies and a passionless existence and call it freedom.  Truly, we are not happy Creatures.

The Truth is, our only restrictions in Life are those we voluntarily impose upon our self. There are no limits to the human potential.  The fact that we exist proves beyond doubt that all things are possible... but we restrict the possible with our limited understanding of Life; choosing instead to focus upon the negatives; failing to ever enjoy the simple pleasures living can give.

  

Remember, whatever we give to Life, life give back to us in abundance. ~ CR

A World of Imagination...

 Imagine walking into a hi-tec science-lab, taking a single droplet of tap-water and placing it beneath the lens of a powerful electron microscope. You then sit in front of a high definition monitor, switch it on, and watch the water droplet quickly magnified to a millionth degree.

While attention is drawn upon the HD monitor, you start to see magnified (within the water droplet) an image of a whole new world. At first glance it appear as a spiraling Galaxy effortlessly floating through the Universe. Upon further magnification you start seeing (within the spiraling Galaxy) countless numbers of pulsating stars, each with their own set of orbiting planets. 

You then select a single planet and, through further magnification, you are able to clearly see the image of billions of strange lifeforms moving upon the surface of the globe. Further magnification reveals life-forms intelligently capable of producing sustainable food supplies, building towering structures and using complex communication and comprehensive organizational systems. 

You are very impress observing the strange microscopic species, you immediately become inspired to enter into a molecular shrinking chamber - reducing your body to the same microscopic proportions and teleporting into the single droplet of water resting beneath the electron microscopes lens. 

Immediately after being beamed into the magnified tap-water, to the surface level of the microscopic planet, and making first contact with its inhabitants; 

1. Do you take on the persona of a "god"? 
2. Are you a "friendly" - one who wish to pass on high-level intellectual properties, further advance the local species and leave?
3. Do you simply blend in, find a friendly, "deposit" your DNA code into the local gene-pool and stay? 

Your answer may reveal a Truth older than ancient religious and scientific cultures.. and more stranger. ~ CR

RISING ABOVE SOCIAL BARRIERS

A new generation is commonly blamed by the former for showing lack of moral judgment including - "destruction of family values" and whatever's out of order in general society. It's not genetics but the immediate environment that heavily influence our social conduct; not conscience but social pressure that determines our attitude. 

All life-form will inevitably adapt and conform to its immediate environment, whether that environment proves hospitable or hostile. An irrational mind is as guilty of its thoughts as a seedling is guilty of deforestation. Yet it is the nature of humans; to maintain a super-ego requires an escapegoat to bear the burden of misfortune. 

How can social discrimination be resolved? Certainly not by blaming each other, or criminalising an unborn generation. To be sustainable, solutions should make provisions for - constitutional reform, social acceptance (inclusion of differences), commonalities strengthening, and free exchange of ideas. 

The rights of a child or a single social group ought not to outweigh the rights of the entire community. However, unified we can overcome the obstacles of Nation building. With the constant support of concerned community members, a child can grow to be a healthy positively productive member of society. When and where the child fall short of the moral expectations, provisions are there in place to more accurately indicate, evaluate and rehabilitate. ~ CR
