The Way #2: Call Me Crazy

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

– Friedrich Nietzsche

It’s a funny world we live in, there is no question about that. We are faced with situations every waking moment, even sometimes when we dream. To deal with these circumstances in our lives is such a great burden to carry it makes me question my life on a daily basis. I ask, in my own thoughts, about my self too. What do I do now? It sounds so simple to answer that a laugh creeps out.. you idiot Dan. Well, not really. Asking myself that same question over the past year has enabled me to become who am I today, a stronger better person than I even was a day ago. And I’ll be even stronger tomorrow, or after any decision I must make. When one decides what to do they are given power through choice, and with that choice one can be who one wants to be. We only have to see it.

I was given my name, Daniel, even before the life in the womb was fully developed. Then and there a choice is taken away (it may sound silly but this is on a basic level), until the law permits us to change it when we are legally allowed to. That name, put into my consciousness as a baby and child has been the literal version of me. You must understand that language (though it has its benefits), and from this bureaucracy, is a main essence in our world at this present moment. Looking back at history we can see it has also landed our world in some tight spots (This will be for another day as there is much to say about this too). Anyhow, coming back to the literal version of us, we are called many things in life, some are nice and some offensive, it all depends on the interpretation. The point is not to take these to heart as there is so much more to a person and life. To YOU.

Make the choices as best you can and carry along your path singing and dancing for no one and nothing can stop you from being you and doing what you truly want to do. It’s your life, don’t talk about it, live it, experience, feel the energy and enjoy because for now, in our present day, most don’t live long enough to see life for what it is and to BE life.

Hopeful Romantic

volatile

Am I deserving of a life worth living? A life filled with happinness, love and an endless feeling of pushing through the barriers set up by others. Or is it to be one of suffering, self loathing and consequently self harm? I am only a danger to myself, never to others, for the love I have stretches back to the beginning of time, for we are the universe, an energy in multiple forms; the strongest and purest being love itself. My levels are depleting, my hope for humanity’s progress almost lost, how could this be rekindled? A hopeful romantic, with too much to give, and although expecting nothing in return, affected by the ever changing, volatile and unpredictable environment.

The River of the Soul

Your tears, if from sorrow, are only the pain felt by others being inflicted on you. It is, like many experiences, a cleansing of the soul, but not just of yours, theirs too. You submit to their anger, irrationality and their unjust way of being with you, after all you have done for them. Yet you take it, always expecting nothing in return. You suppress your own hurt and take on their emotional baggage, trying to maintain pure rationality to see them through their dark time. Why? Because you care. You are compassionate and you love them no matter what they have done, do or will do. Unconditionally and forever. You are a beautiful specimen of what a true human being could be, one that is able to make such sacrifices for the benifit of not just themselves, but also of their environment, other life. You are the one who is able to listen to others, not just by ear, but by feeling. You are on your way to a balance between emotional and rational behaviour, a trait many seek, have found, but oh so quickly forget. When you reach this state, you have the power and choice to help, this bears a great responsibility, one that you must be aware of and able to control. Remain as composed as possible and when the need comes to release their pain, which is both of yours after this point time, do. By yourself or with others, never alone as if you are in tune with YOU, then you never will just be on your own two feet. Do this, as dire consequences surface if one does not get rid of the excess poison lingering dormantly in the system. Walk through the door, accept this new found skill and live it, for it is beautiful way of life ♥
