You could say life is pretty wrong when it allows so many rights to not be. You could also state that life is pretty good since it allows you to do so many wrongs. Truth is, we can all say lots of things and be very loud.

How does this make you understand yourself better?

Our society is changing by the second. When I was a young boy, my perception of the world was much more drastic. I saw chaos, and truth is, there was a lot of chaos however that chaos was silent. Now, there is real CHAOS and it is loud. I find myself scrolling through the posts and I can feel the anger people feel, even though the cause is unknown to me. Could I say that becoming influenced today is as easy as taking a breath in. We are constantly bombarded with opinions and are forced to take issues not related to us at heart. I wish I could say that as free men and women, we have choice, but silence is not a luxury most can afford these days. Silence is the equivalent to not righting a wrong, as if you are committing that crime as well by not standing up to the bully. Silence is standing beside a victim and not preventing the crime. We can argue this is true or not, but out there in the real world, if you are somebody, silence is a luxury most of us can’t afford. You want to work for a certain company? You better embrace their philosophy because your silence could mean you feel differently and that can get you in a whole lot of trouble. Of course, this is generalization and it is fair to generalize to some extend. After all, aren’t trends of any kind generalization?

So the question is, how do you find your peace in all this CHAOS?

Taking in all these emotions we see everywhere, is breathtaking. Not necessarily like viewing a landscape from a mountain, but overwhelming as in the emotions are coming in, but got nowhere to go, so you have a butt full of emotions that are just looking for a way out and no toilet close-by. I’m guilty, like most people, of having misinformed sentiments, however I am aware of this issue in myself, and like most thing, I take everything with a grain of salt. It is easy to say: “Agh I’ll just ignore what people say”; but not everything is black and white in life. We can’t ignore the things that are happening on the outside because they are now part of everything we do. Living in your own worlds involves you being isolated on another planet, but even then, hate and more hate will find in some creative and unimaginable way.

So really, how do you truly find your peace in this MADNESS?

My advice is to just embrace it. You can’t fight the world and if you could, you’d have to brainwash people into believing positive things, and that is exactly the problem in the first place. There are so many out there just pushing their philosophies on everyone and since we have no choice, we have to accept one or another. Embracing it doesn’t necessarily mean accepting it. Embracing it for me means giving into the idea that you agree, but in reality, you are just trying to get your peace. Fighting it just brings more brainwashing and by ignoring it, you just open the door to interpretation for the words you haven’t said. I wish I could say that life will get better from here, but truth is, it will get a whole lot messier before it gets better. You want unity? People will have to be dying together before they can understand each others fears and emotions. All I see is a bunch of people crying foul at every aspect of existence but to me, it just sad that people forgot how to forge their own paths of existence. I embrace your bullshit, because I have to in order to get my peace. I don’t like to fight people’s fight, and if you will is as big as a lion’s, you shouldn’t even need my help to bring your enemies down. I embrace the bullshit because I need to breath and I have enough of my fights to care for yours. That is reality but hey, what do I know. I don’t go around spewing my issues onto people, and regardless of how my life has been, I have embraced my life as a life of opportunities and joy. I am not a victim despite my entire life being chaotic, and I will never stoop myself to that level of victim, because I am a survivor, a warrior. Victims are people that have admitted defeat and I will never stop fighting for my life. Embracing is just the answer to everything as it helps us bridge the necessary steps required to just move past any subjects in the way of your objectives.

Nonetheless, I stand by all people and all causes, because the same people believe in that. I might not believe in everybody’s causes, but I truly believe their feelings are honest and while I bash this chaotic world, I find myself still feeling for all those out there fighting their causes. They might not see the full picture out there, I just hope they find their way eventually.

Youth is blissful, wisdom is hurtful.
