You give meaning to objects. These are agreed-upon symbols which must be learned. For example: a red, white, and blue striped pole outside of a shop. You know this means the business is that of a barber. Without the agreement and someone having told you what the striped pole means, it would simply be contrasting colors in a particular shape, for you have even agreed to call it a pole. What is our point? You have agreed to call yourself a person with a body. You have been taught you are only human and that your business is that of struggling and competing against each other. Now we ask you, what if you had never been taught anything at all. What would you still know? At the very least, you would know peace. We leave you with this and the awareness that You are so very loved.
Simple, to the point and beautifully stated. Thank you!
All my life i have obviously been fighting battles within my self that requiring correction, from things i have been told, which i ingrained, because of my trust in the people or society in which i “grew up”. Instead of growing up, these things made me stagnent, and until i resolve them, those parts of me remain stagnent or cause me to digress even further.
This has however taught me to be very care full before i open my mouth, thereby hopefully avoiding harm upon another.
