Writer's Block: Challenges I’ve Faced
This is actually something I've been thinking about recently.
I have overcome my darkest feelings through honesty. I have stopped lying to myself, and I am happier for it. I don't expect people to be there for me, I don't expect anything to come up and magically fix things with me just sitting there and hoping change will come.
One of the best things I've done for myself is change my mindset.
I don't see people as I used to, I still believe that man is inherently good, but I see that mans condition is not. We have put ourselves into positions which seem to require us to lie, to others and to ourselves. We think we are helping somone by hiding the truth from them, so that they may continue oblivious to the truth. Many people live in this mode, they say they are happy but you can tell that they are not.
If you are happy, why are you stressed? Why do you have so many things to complain about? Why do you isolate yourself if you are happy?
The most effective lies are the ones you tell yourself.
I don't try to pretend that I am happy, instead, I have slowly became happy through truth. I do not see myself as someone people want to interact with often, as it is not true. I am happy for the contact I receive, and the contact I can initiate. I do not see myself as someone people will turn to in times of trouble, for they do not come, troubled as they are. I understand that it is difficult to do so, and that most people are not the type who will listen. I do not consider anyone to be a close friend, for I have seen that it was only ever in my own mind that they were close, it has been rediculously easy to lose those 'close' friends. I'm still not even sure what happened.
Life exists mostly in your mind. It depends on what associations you put onto the objects your body encounters, how much stock you are willing to put into something that you can not control of forsee. Through Truth, you can set yourself free.
Without Truth, you will remain as you are: A deceitful shell of what you could be.
