The Comedy of it all..

 The word "Comedy" has had different definitions throughout different periods of history, whether during the Renaissance, or in the age of Tik-Tok that we're experiencing right now.

Then comes Life, and people start going through what they would call "tragedies", then people go through periods of desperation, internal conflicts, which then cause a "knot" in their system.

A lot of those "knots" are formed during the early days of their development, whether physically, mentally or emotionally.

The problem is that people mostly - without proper guidance and mentorship - end up living by the rules dictated to them by those knots. Its just like an athlete quitting his career because he has a muscle spasm that's affecting his motion, whenever he moves he gets pain. What makes sense to do is to fix that spasm, and carry on, not let the spasm define how his career will move.

Same thing happens with emotional or mental traumas. You usually see a lot of people living by the law of a reaction to something that took place in their childhood, and it is usually an anomaly in human nature that makes them "extreme" one way or the other. It is also usually associated to the level of mental capacity, or that lack it.. examples are Numerous! 

Who doesn't have an extreme playboy in their social circle? or an extremely jealous person? or someone who puts extreme importance to image and looks? or someone always in need to be the center of any conversation and starts doing weird shit when they're not?

And once you're annoyed by such extreme behavioral attributes, you end up asking "Why are those people taking themselves too seriously?"

Well, that's because everyone needs to zoom out and recognize the Comedy of it all, of this life. Reality is we're only here for a short time, and we are the main character in our play, we are the ones with control on how this gets lived and experienced, and we are the owners of our own reactions to what happens to us in it.

Comedy is everywhere, whether be it a day going wrong and you being stubborn enough to make sure it ends well, or in a piece of humor you choose to watch or listen to, that makes your laughing muscles work, your hormones of happiness flowing, and you know what? It ain't all that bad, is it? Don't worry too much, if you don't love it, don't live it, simple.

And if you don't love it, get help, and most of the time, getting help means facing the fact that you might be the problem, and you might be the solution. You will need to dig deep and be honest with yourself all the damn time! To know if you're living a reaction to a "knot", and blind to that fact, or you really exploring and trying to love, live, and be PRESENT, make some impact, be useful, not a nuisance.

Again, and as always, I'm talking to myself, reminding myself, nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes and become assholes sometimes, but we just need constant reminders.

To another time.

I really don't know. As a manner of a private silent conversation between a man and his Creator, one dares not say I know. An overlook on the future could not seem that bright, in matters of readiness for example, one can't really say that things are that visible because they are simply in the hands of the Creator. All I know is what I feel now, and that it is not a really great feeling to be honest. the differences between human beings are mostly significant when dealing with problems. Some enthusiastic reactions from people who are living a certain state of mind or spirituality would immediately say "If you're not feeling that good then you should check your relationship with God, pray more, ask for forgiveness and things will be okay". On the other hand other people might ask more questions and analyze the situation more in order to try and come up with answers, also related somehow to their experiences that might be irrelevant to my situation so to speak. That...

Loving Fear

A small window of a certain sensation followed by a quick view upon an idea, and then a broad metallic armor of assurance has crossed my chest. What happened was the occurrence of Fear. For several days there was this fear taking over, causing my skin to shiver, and my hair to stand every now and then. Fear is the opposite of being happy and that's just the beginning. Fear is essential for the human life, but an overdose could be utterly devastating. I was actually somewhere else when the sensation crossed my body starting from my eyes and ending at my heart. I was driving on the messy highway under a cloudy sky at evening time. A colleague of mine was in the passenger's seat, sleeping, while I was trying my best to stay alert and evade the acrobatics being made by trucks and micro-buses all around me, causing the highway to be something really close to a flea circus, but that's not our issue now. The clouds were all above me, but the horizon was cloud-free. There was a chi...

Profound Sanity

Dreams, are nowadays randomly filled with random people, like my brain is being shuffled constantly in order for the most important things to settle in the bottom, and the less important to come on top, then the less important, and so forth, till i find the heavy rocks in the bottom, the things that are closest to my heart, and those might include the people who are closest to my heart and my attempts to make them happy, and furthermore try to understand them more, for not to fall in the mistake of trying to make them happy the way I want them to be happy, but rather the way THEY want to feel happy.. And then again, it is clear that life is just about the pursuit of happiness, because happiness can be found in various ways, and loads and loads of forms, but what is more important is only realized by the minority of people, and it can rarely be controlled by the individual, it is a blessing from God that is. As people try all the time to follow what their instinct tells them to achiev...
