My Liberation

The human heart is a difficult one to know. To speak of aspirations and motivations, ideals, values, and so forth but not even have the slightest realization of what the human heart is, is nothing but idle talk and wind chasing. Yet, it is something that mankind has and will revisit time and time again, in the studies of his world, as well as personal introspection.

What does it mean to know and understand yourself? Sages upon sages have tackled such questions throughout the centuries, but to everyone there is but one answer that is true to themselves. As for me, I've been a slave, ever since the dawning days of reason. A "slave" you might ask, well, I've been a slave to myself and to every ignorant thought that has ever been spurned out of my soul. I do not say this out of self masochism, but out of a genuine understand as to what I've been all along. Selfishly I sought after everything my hands didn't already reach, in greed, I've brought up myself to sit upon years of trash, that I've built up thinking all along, this was for my own good, my satisfaction. This idea however, still doesn't give you any clue as to what is truly residing beneath those treacherous yet vague words of mine.
