I have had several blogs in my life.
For hobbies, for diaries, for vanity, for solitude, for wasted time.
Some have had a good following, others have been completely snubbed.
Everyone died anyway the moment parts of me completed their cycle.
From there I understood one thing.
Pass what you are.
Whether you put your voice on it or even just a keyboard.
There is a spirit in things that communicates beyond words; which cannot help but be perceived when the content is consistent with the container, and vice versa.
Otherwise you can become whoever you want. You can study the techniques and adopt emulations, but you remain a lot without emotion and without life.
It is no coincidence that the least lasting blogs have always been those in which I did not write instinctively. I was not following my nature.
And that goes for everything.
Career, relationships, friendship.
Sooner or later the body lets you know if you're doing everything wrong, and if you're careful you know how to tell when to get back into place.
It has been since the dawn of time that the Sages have repeated one and only teaching in different words or doctrines: know yourself, give birth to yourself.
You don't fight. Unprocessed. You don't pretend.
But, know who you are.
Because if you're looking for joy, if you want to deal with freedom, to do what you do authentically, that's where you have to be.
In total honesty with yourself.
Repressing your being, your passions and your melancholy is the greatest pain you can have as a human being. I have learned a lot, I have learned that sadness is necessary. Sadness is part of us.
I've learned that it's okay to feel empty, it's okay not to be okay, it's okay to be sad without pretending so as not to make others unhappy, that's okay.
It's okay to cry, it's okay to get angry in front of everyone, it's okay to scream, it's okay to throw it all down and then fix it, it's okay to quit a job, it's okay to take a year or two in which you don't know what to do, it's okay to be there and not be there.
It's okay to be different, it's okay to have different tastes, it's okay to burn for something that can do you more harm than good, it's also okay to choose the easy way and sit down or on the contrary, choose the hardest one and fight. It is part of the path.
The meaning of life is understanding what we are, what we want and knowing how to fill the gaps that we carry inside, knowing how to embrace our dark sides.
I made friends with my sadness and I learned that similar people, among themselves, do not add it up but cancel it. This is why we bind ourselves to souls more than to people, because when people like this meet, the mutual sadness (no longer having to keep company with them, which are two of them) begin to talk about their own affairs, begin to open up, begin to build something and finally feel at home.
You will finally be yourself forever.
In his 1998 book The Common Good, Noam Chomsky describes the key role that managed disagreements play in modern politics…
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum — even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate…”
This remains true despite the increasingly obvious fact that Chomsky himself is part of that function.
What he’s describing is the “fake binary”. The imposition of the idea that Viewpoint A is the official approved narrative and that Viewpoint B is therefore its antithesis.
Points C through Z can therefore be ignored.
The fact hidden in plain sight being that both Viewpoint A and Viewpoint B actually reinforce the overarching narrative being sold and both lead to the same place.
It’s an incredibly effective management tool.
A fake binary allows you to not just manipulate the conformist Normies who automatically obey, but also those who consider themselves to be ‘anti-establishment’, contrarians or ‘rebels’.
How are fake binaries created? They are often initially introduced by the following methods…
There are days … … in which anger runs up to the hands and breaks everything, from pencils to delays. … where you would just like to hole up in a corner to watch the dark, but no, no you can. … in which no one realizes that inside you are fixing the emotional traps to survive the next attack. … where commitments stifle all the urge to scream. … where not even a hug could put things right. … in which you are looking for a fight, just to let off steam a little. … where you just hope it will come tomorrow, because today is one of those days.
Everything has now become a struggle. Against someone, against something, against the rival, against the rich, against those who do not do, against those who do, against the beautiful, against the ugly. Against judgment that shows just as much judgment, against reason that shows just as much compulsion, against the true, against the false. I saw an advertisement for a woman who “has been fighting obesity for years”. Against. Those behind the scenes know very well what it means to animate the feeling of struggle instead of confrontation. They know that counter strengthens and expands exactly what it is believed to be fighting for. Going against a physical problem, instead of understanding it, as with everything else … gives you back tripled. Keep fighting, keep going against you.Aren’t we also like that giant of the forest? Sometimes we survive the rare storms, the avalanches, the harsh blows of existence, and then let our hearts devour the little insects of worry, insects that one would be able to squeeze between the thumb and forefinger. Anxiety is not mine, I know. It is something that lives outside, but which I have brought inside and which has now made its home inside me. Anxiety is not mine, anxiety is not me. It is not a war against myself, it is a war against what is around me. I was too, you know, tired of fighting against life, of always having to find a shortcut, a way out, of feeling inadequate, of looking for an alternative to the future, of not knowing how to be myself because it would not have been. popular; tired of the past that slips into the chest like blades, of indecision, of the emptiness inside that seems to speak, that seems to say: “It will all end”.I feel alone, I stare into space, I wonder how long this will last, I hug the pillow, I cry in silence. They tell me to do it alone, to pull myself up and fight, but the weight I carry is too heavy and only makes me sink lower and lower, deeper and deeper. I find myself in total darkness and no one cares, there is no one there, I only hear the sound of my breath. Memories crowd my mind, my chest hurts, now I even struggle to breathe, I feel like a body without a soul, I feel trapped in a cage. You have to fight, they said. You have to fight they say. But they don’t know, they don’t know that girl no longer exists. That girl, that I was, stayed there in that room.
Okay, I know you love your son and daughter very much, but do you think and in the future they will be adults and live in a beautiful world? Do you know what is happening to the earth? Do you want your children and grandchildren to live peacefully in a beautiful and healthy world? Then give away the right things. Make the right choice for them and your grandchildren. Help Greenpeace save this planet. Greenpeace warriors are real warriors. They are fighting in every way to save animals and plants and people.
Our world is flooded with plastic. In the next few years, your children will not be bathing in a sea of salt water but in a sea of plastic objects.
Greenpeace is a global network of independent campaigning organizations that use peaceful protest and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.
The Rainbow Warrior, Greenpeace International’s flagship boat known for its crusade against the destruction of environment, is being revived to an all new form. The custom-built sailboat is set to sail in September 2011. Once on the sea, it will fight against illegal shipments of timber, unlawful fishing operations, gather evidence that can be used for prosecution and stop the activities altogether.
Unlike its predecessors, Rainbow Warrior I and Rainbow Warrior II which were acquired and remodeled, Rainbow Warrior III will be constructed from scratch by Greenpeace.
DONT USE ANYTHING MADE BY PLASTICEducate your children, grandchildren, friends to always collect plastic and clean the garbage in meadows, beaches and woods. Educate them to save Nature so that we can all do it together.Use only paper or wooden products for your pic nic and parties. Plastic pollution is one of the most serious environmental conditions of our times and it is not only the growing amount of plastic that ends up in the sea that is worrying, but also the link between plastic production and climate change. Plastic on the other hand comes from sources such as oil and the environmental impacts related to its production and disposal are significant: the production and incineration of plastic waste will be responsible for a quantity of carbon dioxide emissions equal to that of 189 coal-fired power plants.SAVE THIS PLANET, SAVE YOUR CHILDREN
How does the system work? The system works thanks to you, in such a refined way that you feed it 24 hours a day and are totally unaware of it. You are part of it through two apparently different paths. The first is the way of submission and obedience. You are a slave identified with the system whose regime you share, nurture and defend. You do not object because you do not even suspect that you are completely asleep. The second is the way of rebellion and the sense of injustice. You are a slave who does not share the regime, but you feed it with your detachment; you are convinced that you are not part of it, in reality you identify with anger, frustration, anxiety and pain, things that the system is greedy for. The more pissed you off, the more you expand it, the more it expands, the more pissed you off. Even if in everyday life they seem two different roads, they are the same road. Above all, what your mind intends to do has already been predicted and calculated by the system, indeed you have it in your brain because the system has caused you to behave in a certain way, so every time you think you are fighting something external to you, you are only reinforcing the illusion. No one has ever won a social war, the system has only allowed it to move to a later stage. I told you, then you see. The only way out is to disidentify
