When Logic And Words No Longer Have An Impact, Feelings Can Break Through

There comes a time when people become saturated with logical arguments and clever insights constructed with artfully combined words.

When convincing other people with mere words no longer has any effect.

In these instances, feelings are what can break through.

Showing how one truly feels can break one through to the other side of human inter-understanding.

For let us not forget, human beings are creatures of emotion, animals of emotion, on whom logic was grafted because it enabled greater survival, yet, logic and mind are not what lie at the core of the human being.

That core is : emotions.

Let Your Emotions Be Your Guide

A person's feelings are a direct echo of their relationship with the universe.
When a person's feelings are in chaos, their universe is the same.
When a person's feelings are at peace, so to is their universe.

In today's world, the majority of people are always at war with their feelings,
forcing themselves constantly to do what they don't feel right doing,
convincing themselves that they are happy with forceful coercion of the mind just so they can continue to function,
when in truth, they deny their feelings,
they deny how they truly feel,
they deny what is in their hearts.

Emotions may often guide a person into painful experiences, but better be guided through painful experiences in accord with how one feels, than to be living a lie of a life haunted by the specter of fear.

Feeling Lost As To Your Purpose? Search For Those Few, Special People Who Truly Love To Teach What They Know

The Daedalus Dilemma

If you teach all you know to another person, they might become better at it than you and take away your livelihood.

If you teach someone else well, you may teach them too well and find yourself left in the dust, as they surge to prosperity and you are discarded as yesteryear's model.

The Special Few Who Love What They Do And Love To Share

I think that there are only a few of these people in the world, and it takes a great deal of searching to find them, but, I believe there are people in the world who truly love what they do, and part of their feelings of love are expressed in a truly powerful desire to share their knowledge with others.

The "Real" Working World : The Rat Race

For the majority of people,
"the mass of men leading lives of quiet desperation",
the working world is one of competition,
everyone trying to get a piece of the pie,
everyone terrified of being abandoned and left behind,
teaching someone else is literally "taking food out of your own mouth".

Teaching someone else,
really trying to make another person better,
is something that simply feels like a waste of time.
Where is the profit in it?
How is it helping you?

Again, The Special Few

But...there are a few special people in the world who just don't see things this way.

They have connected with life through their art.
What they do truly fulfills them and they want to share that feeling with others.

One Of The Secrets To A Good Work LIfe : Find And Work For A Company You Believe In

When you work for a company you believe in,
helping them to succeed and carry their mandate forward,
being part of the team which helps them to do their work : work you believe in,
you put more of yourself into the work,
you learn more quickly,
you have more energy,
you have better ideas,
you are simply : happier, more fulfilled, life is worth living.

Don't Let The Fear Of Being Hurt Stop You From Action You Know Is Right For You

  • Be laughed at
  • Be ridiculed
  • Be sneered at
  • Be derided
  • Be insulted
  • Be pushed, shoved, tripped, and stabbed
  • Be punched in the face, the stomach, the kidneys
  • Be stepped on
  • Be spit on
  • Be kicked when you're already down
Don't let fear of being hurt stop you from doing what you feel is right, what you feel you need to do.
Much, much easier said than done of course.

----

Don't let the fear of suffering stop you from action.

Expose yourself to painful situations if doing so is part of the path to doing what calls to you.

----

You want to suffer.
You want to do your best, but still fail, and find that other people take advantage of your weakness to trample you and show you up.
You want that.
You gain strength from having been true to yourself, your convictions,
and despite the fact that you were true to yourself, that you acted in accord with what you felt was right, you still were beaten down for it.

Once you recover from the wounds of insult and injury,
you will become stronger, to compensate for the pain done to you.

It's not simple.
It's not straightforward.
This isn't a hard and fast rule,
but,
when you act, being true to yourself, and still suffer because of it...
when you have recovered, you will be stronger.

From a place that was dark as I was in
Just to get to this place
Now let these words be like a switch blade to a
haters rib cage
And let it be known from this day forward
[I wanna just say thanks cause your hate is what
gave me the strength]

When The Words And Actions Of Adults Are Cruel, Greedy, And Corrupt, Remember This : They Were Once Children

Try to remember that adults were once children.
Children who had simple values.

"I want people to like me."
"Are my Mommy and Daddy happy with me?"
"I want to be welcomed by the popular kids."
"I hope I get invited to the popular kid's birthday party."

What becomes twisted and misshapen in adulthood is the simple values gone wrong because of feeling unwanted and unwelcome,
of children growing into adults who feel that
they are constantly fighting to feel included,
they are constantly fighting to be accepted,
that life is a never ending battle with their fellow human beings to earn the right to survive and be accepted.

Children who had simple needs and simple wants become adults who are twisted and perverted by a society, by a human mindset still rooted in fear and distrust.

The Solution?

The beginning of Humanism : Empowerment-Based Earth Community
