 You don’t have to change in order to impress! The first thing we –as parents and teachers- start teaching our kids is that we’re all special in the eyes of God, and that everybody is different and unique for just being born so. This is also a beautiful slogan that we often use in reply to Skin-colored or ethnics’ discrimination. Then as we grow in profession and time, this nice motto vanishes, or gets replaced with another jingle that serves our time and life scenario. Well to be honest, this is so confusing for me. Should what we grow believing in and preaching about simply disappear with time? Or this is just a social tool we use when we have to? Next, we find ourselves splashing in paddles of stories (white lies) and many prestigious terms. Meanwhile, our ego becomes revolting around the same artificial feelings (being insincerely positive and nice) we create to fit various occasions. What does that mean? In other words, we forget totally about us being precious for whom we really are (paradigms and values). Instead we start wearing masks and desert ourselves to belong to a certain caliber of persons or groups. It’s true that part of human nature is to feel secured and count on other fellow humans. However, do we have to speak all the same language and wear the same outfit in order to belong to the same community? (Though, nowadays, the majority looks alike due to total make- overs!). Nevertheless, was that the purpose of us being born free? What does freedom mean then? Is it copying others even with our opinions and feelings? This is scary- at least for me- to think that cloning was never a new invention; it was only a hidden formula that people used, way before, first on their inside. We worry too much about our environment, Nature and creatures. This is beautiful and we should all be doing so. But what about us? Aren’t we worth being thought of? Are we badly in need to change in order to feel loved? My answer to this is “No”. Enjoy being yourself, and dig deep inside until you discover your qualities and skills. You can always be better and work on yourself, but find who you are first. Article posted February 24, 2009 at 05:33 AM • comment • Reads 279 • Return to Blog List Add a CommentPosted Comments |
