As the saying goes, "We gotta see it to believe it," but sometimes even when we see it we don't believe it anymore. When it comes from the heart - skepticism is the worst medicine to love. That's where it all derives from. We believe we are not capable of love because we haven't received the love we think we deserve. It begs the question, who really receives enough love?
It's presumptuous to single us out and not be aware of the world surrounding us. Maybe that's what life is all about, maybe it's about realizing we are all the same. Maybe the biggest challenge in life is to stay pure. Stay pure in a world that constantly makes you a fool.
Life is for those who are able to stay with the heart of a child, but there aren't many of us out there. The more we get hurt, the more we hurt out of fear. It's like the cave theory from Plato. All we can see are our own shadows. So we're afraid to be touched by the fire. The monsters are in our head. The monsters are our own fears. It's not outside of us, it's not real.
They're only real when we believe. Whatever you think, we become, said Buddha. It's a simple concept. We have over 60,000 thoughts a dat, so which one do we really become? Pick the best feeling thought.
Then, we discover another condition, it's the human condition. Even when we're trying our best, we're only human. Don't kick yourself for it. We're all like that. We're all limited to humanness.
And in that same way, we are all unlimited. We're all part of a bigger plan. There's a big picture. There's more. We're too scared to get out beyond the cave. To look beyond the shadows. We all know what to do. Not all of us do it. We don't always do it.
It's empty and meaningless. So write your feelings down, be who you are, it's all gone anyway. Become who you are. There's no loss in being truthful. Cut your losses and keep moving.
When you step outside and into the fire, you'll see the fire that's burning inside of you. You're not afraid of the fire. You are the fire.
