It's been more than a fair trade for me... You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

Quoting: cosmicgypsy It's been more than a fair trade for me... That's exactly how I wanted to put it... There really is NO BOX! Thank you! You're welcome. I included that in post a few years ago, and some guy got his lollipop boxers all in a bunch. How dare I be so irresponsible as to post that...lol. It's a hard concept for some to wrap their head's around, but it's so rewarding once done. You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

The key is to always keep an open mind but to also keep yourself grounded in reality when considering new ideas from others. |

True Jedi Paladin (OP) User ID: 10883673 United States 02/13/2014 02:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It makes me think about school and how it "programmed" us to see things. Put us in little boxes closed off from the real world to "learn." It's like on a deeper level they were closing our minds off and disconnecting us from all that we are a part of. It made us see only little boxes and not accepting that we are part of the entire environment we associate ourselves with. Like I have the choice to see myself as only a person in my home on a pc...or I can see that in this moment my words are being posted and read by people all over the world. I can see that not only am I a person in this one home...but I am part of a community of people and I am a reflection of that group of people. I can then only see myself as a reflection of my current community (where I live) or attempt to it as part of a city or state and see how my community is a reflection of the entire group and so on and so on. We can eventually expand to see how we are a reflection of humanity as a whole and beyond... Pretty awesome really. Last Edited by True Jedi Paladin on 02/13/2014 02:41 AM |

It makes me sad that in school we are taught how to WORK and not how to LIVE I mean sure being sad about it is an option...but we don't have to be. It certainly sucks that that's the way the system is...but we can't ever change it if we just sit around being sad about it! Gotta wake people up and show them a better way to live! Keep your head up...knowing is half the battle as they say! |
