tattoo and randomrambling :-x hahahha
sooo um if you didnt hear which there is a good chance you didnt i got a tattooo like a month and ½ ago or so :-)
its an Om( or Aum) if you didn't know that. it has alot of significance to me.
There are a few main points. the Om is basicly the main symbol of Hinduism.
it also is meant to be the primordial sound or the "first breathe of creation". most relgions believe that creation began with a sound. "In the beginning was the word..." and whatnot. For Hindus and Buddhists, the Om is that "vibration that ensures existance".
the Om symbol also is a sacred symbol representing Brahman, the Absolute. it represents the omnipotent, omnipresent and source of all manifesting existence. Brahman is infinite so therefore it is incomprehensible so a symbol (the Om) is necessary to help us realize the unknowable. the Om represents both the unmanifest and manifest aspects of God.
The Aum is the ultimate mantra or religious symbol. In essence, sound, and form, the Aum symbolizes the ultimate reality and the entire universe.
The A stands for Creations
The U stands for Preservation
The M stands for Destruction
This is also representative of the Trinity of Gods in the Hindu beliefs (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva)
The 3 portions of the Aum relate to the states of waking, dream, and deep sleep.
The 3 letters also indicates the three planes of existence, (heaven, earth, and the netherworld)
(notice alot to do with the aspect of the trinity)
also all the words produced by the human voal organ be be represented by Aum. A is produced by the throat, U and M by the lips
and it signifies the sound of the Sun and Light.
and in most lamence terms i can think of... you know when people meditate and they go "ommmm" this is the symbol for that. haha. because it is the most perfect sound.
For me it signifies even more than all that but a change in my life and a finding of my own personal soul. life is too short to waste time worrying. (and i know what you're all thinking. 'oh shit daves about to start rambling about life again. is he high?' wellll not this time sooo there"
when things get you down dont let it ruin your life. learn from it. thats what life is. its all about learning and its all about growing and making the most out of every god damn situation you engage in
and if you want to live your life differently than someone else that is great. just live your life for yourself because you will never please everybody.
granted everyone needs to learn to help each other and help everyone grow but its okay to be selfish sometimes because its your life and everyone deserves the best for themselves. dont let people tread on you but learn from your mistakes and figure out the best way to interact with other people and figure out what you enjoy and what love is to you.
every single person has a different view of love. think about it. life is crazy and its depressing sometimes and amazing sometimes and boring and painful but THATS LIFE and in every situation you need to realize that life is crazy and that the best possible thing you can do in any situation is live in the present and make the most out of where you are right now while "preparing for the mountains you have yet to climb" - 3½ floppy lyric right there. hahaha.
thats what this tattoo really means to me in the here and now. and granted this doesnt help all the time and there are moments in life when even realizing the sole fact that life is hectic and there is no perfection when it comes to life. everyone has probelms. whether its work or school or acne or parents and friends. or all of those at once there still is a starving kid in africa who would give their fucking testicles to be your shoes. theres a blind man who would give anything just to see for one day. a homeless man who would be so greatful to live in your shoes for even an hour. take life for what it is. its a beautiful thing and its a wonderful thing just the fact that your alive that you have lived this long that you exist at all. the probabilities are rediculous. holy shit i want to get into fuckin like chaos theory right now but its late and im probably just gonna go to bed soon so i will put that on a speerate post probably tomororw.
and im not any better but the fucking absurdities of this whole fucking emobullshit life sucks and then you die is pulling everyone into a state that isnt helping society that isnt helping people happy. to be happy is to be free of problems in the mind. since thats never going to happen its to figure out the best way to fix them and enjoy life while doing so instead of just moping. and yeah im a hypocrit but im getting better and well thats what my tattoo really symbolizes to me.
goodnight everyone. i hope this at least made one person think :-)
