so in conclusion....
the only way for the world to become a better place is for everyone to better their lives and to want to better the world around them on a local scale.
we are in a day and age where the world seems soo small yet we feel that the individual can no longer make a difference, its like standing in a room and speaking while everyone else is screaming.
i've been trying to do some buddist things like elminating wants from my life.
to do this you have to experience and try everything, because how can you not want something if you never had it in the first place.
the problem is, once you don't want anything, what purpose do you have in your life? if you don't want anything than you have no drive and you just sit there.
today i smoked the sisha by myself and studied for a whlie, than i layed in the grass and smoked it and meditated then passed out for an hour. when i woke up it connected. its not about not having wants, its about not having things control you.
your possesions, your cravings, your emotions; its ok to have them, but they should not have control over you or who you are. the things around you should not define you but you should be defining them by making them your own.
when you do this you can weed out the things and emotions in your life that have no use, nor meaning. do not depend on things to bring you happyness, do not depend on things at all. do not expect anything from anything or anyone.
the only thing in your life that you can depend on and can expect happiness from is yourself.
