@ProofofMaro and barely even that, because there are different times depending on which part of the earth

The most common phrase
in the bible
is “do not be afraid”…
but i think
what this really means is
to not be a coward
because
you cannot stop yourself
from feeling afraid
being afraid
is not a conscious choice we make,
it just happens
we experience that fear,
and then
our defense mechanism kicks in
the defense mechanism is what matters…
how will you respond to fear?
that is what is important
will you be a coward?
will you be brave?
we cannot stop ourselves
from experiencing fear… no
we experience fear,
and how we respond to such a force
dictates where we go in life
either you will run from the feeling
(which is impossible)
or you will face it
“do not be afraid”…
do not be a coward…
…never be a coward.

English

I am the hero at day,
the villain at night,
half-hearted,
dead and alive
protecting others less fortunate
pestering those too fortunate
loving myself,
hating myself,
the light shines,
but from a dark space
the holy path walked,
with sinful intentions
smile, laugh, love,
hate, resent, trauma,
all things,
from heaven to hell,
exist in me
damaged soul,
reaching for light
an accepted lot…
the show continues.

English

when they are a child,
hold them close to your heart
you have unseen powers in this world…
you encourage the light to spark,
and to catch flame, in the spirit
of the child
you are the mother of the light
through you, the light shines,
and by you, the light stays lit
but should you abandon your duties,
as mother, you put out the light
darkness reigns supreme,
but too much…
far too much
where nothing can be seen,
nothing can be,
and the children of tomorrow
walk, blinded, but having eyes,
speaking, with no sound,
hearing, with deaf ears
insecurity conquers the hearts
of men who are deprived of a mothers touch
and to the daughter, who also
experiences this deprivation,
they too, are conquered by insecure forces,
and it is them, linked together with lost men,
that propagate the unbroken chain of fear,
doubt…
and today, now more than ever,
the spirit of the mother is needed
hold your children close to your heart.

English

@JoshDenofNerds i think what it means is
“do not be a coward”…
because you cannot control whether or not you feel fear,
you can only control what you do after the fact
and to not be a coward would be the greatest way to handle it
English

every time
you let a painful experience
go unaddressed,
you teach your body, little by little,
to begin blinding yourself
to those experiences
after a while,
the toll of that begins to take place
that toll comes in the form of
ailments of all sorts,
which may seem trivial or
“just a part of life”,
but truly, is a consequence
of the failure to address
those painful experiences long ago
if you have found yourself
to be living in a depressed state,
filled with anxiety,
a state of hopelessness or stress,
something, long ago, time after time,
went wrong, and the body
was left to deal with it all on its own,
without the help
of your conscious intervention
know that the best defense against suffering,
is the integration between mind and body.

English

i can remember when my imagination
would take full control, as a child,
sending me into any world i wanted to inhabit
often, i went to those places
perhaps, it was a defense
against some other trouble
in which the current form of reality, at that time,
failed to satisfy me,
my curiosities,
my longing for sanctuary,
my desire for excitement and thrill,
my search for what it all meant to be
this, while it had its blessings,
also had its curses
which may be just be a fact of life (and death)
where the choices we make, right or wrong,
carry with it consequences
and part of what it means to mature,
to leave that child-like state,
is to bear, nobly, the consequences,
without complaint
to which at the end of your life,
you will be reunited with the spirits
that looked over you,
to them embracing you,
applauding you,
praising you for the privilege you gave them,
to witness a true spectacle,
a soul, dancing between joy,
and misery
to which, they will then
eagerly ask with excitement…
“Ready to go again?”

English

there always exists a problem…
always
that is the nature of life
you need there to be problems,
you need there to be mishaps
what kind of life would you have otherwise?
sure, you would enjoy yourself for a while,
but mostly because of the relief
from the constant bombardment of problems that you have endured
but after years of enjoyment,
everything going right,
all of the time,
no problems at all,
i ask you…
would you not begin to get bored?
wondering, “is this all”?
how many times have you read a book,
watched a movie,
or played a game,
in which, there was nothing but happiness,
you getting all that you want,
and the characters in this having no battle to face?
no struggle to maintain?
you are built for an adventure,
not drunkenness,
with constant pleasure-inducing experiences
adventure…
one day, there will be no pain,
and consequentially, no happiness
just as one who sleeps…
and one who puts the book down…
and one who turns off the movie…
seek your adventure and wear it
with courage and honor.

English

when you are born
your brain maintains
great flexibility,
your brain and mind
and
throughout the early stages of development
it keeps itself open
in order to adopt
the preconceptions of its environment
it does this to increase chances of survival
up side is that it survives
in its immediate environment
down side
is that the environment
could be detrimental
long-term
as adults, though,
the mechanism
that keeps the brain and mind open
begins to shut down,
for good reason
the idea is that,
if the brain survived
thinking the way it did
in that environment,
it will double down on what works
hereby shutting down the mechanism
that kept it open
and pliable
that means
that the tendency to change one’s mind
as an adult, becomes very difficult, naturally
and the problems arise
once that particular person
with that particular mindset
leaves that environment
and gets exposed to how the world really works.

English

maybe right is not
inherently right,
and wrong is not
inherently wrong
because right can change
depending on which view you take
hitler thought he was right…
and from his perspective?
he was
maybe you think there is an
objective right,
a kind of right that unites us,
one that we all consciously
or subconsciously
operate by
but if so,
you would have to address
the fact that evil
on a daily basis
is committed by people
without a hint of remorse
or second thought
some, yes…
but others,
they are so far gone,
the idea of remorse
is not even a point to be rejected
or avoided…
it simply does not exist
for these people
and if
there is an objective right,
it may require
subjective commitment
because otherwise,
the very thing
you call objective
would cease to exist
because it does not
in those people
and they live among us.

@Kekius_Sage The real kicker is once you realize that nothing is something and that something is nothing
and that the only reason you see a difference is because of the perspective in which you view it.
English

The Good in life has a birthplace…
but what has continued to surprise me
is that Evil does too
which means, evolutionarily speaking,
there is a place for Good
and a place for Evil
in other words,
there is no getting away from Evil,
but there is also no getting away from Good
i used to think that women
were naturally the gatekeepers
for only what is Good
only the men who were successful,
generous and noble,
were the ones who gained access
and were therefore the ones
who successfully reproduced
but now,
with this new understanding,
those who are evil,
psychopathic,
manipulative,
sadistic,
also gain access to women
albeit, women who are also,
maybe,
on that end of the spectrum as well
and so, life seems to be
the breeding grounds
for that which is heavenly
and for that which is hellish
but that your decisions (or indecisions)
dictates which grounds you occupy…
and to what force you propogate
into the world of tomorrow.

English

@readswithravi Superman had a fortress of solitude, to rest…
God had a whole rest day creating the universe…
there is no problem with resting, or taking days off,
there is a problem with the proportion in which you do that to when you show up and work
English

𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐲
you boast yourself
in the face of others…
you wish to be seen,
to be accepted,
praised, even…
you carry yourself in such a way
that places others at the expense of your
hubris
arrogance is born
from the grounds of insecurity,
because any excessive effort
indicates an urgency
the urgency comes from the
natural propensity to balance out
an imbalance
a man feels inadequate,
and feels it necessary to
compensate for that,
behaving in ways
that balances out that feeling
no need to prove what is true and obvious
no man walks around
proving his name is his,
or that he is alive…
because such things are obvious
the need to prove such things would indicate an insecurity
in the validity of those claims
but take an weak man
who does not want to be weak…
would he not engage in behaviors to prove himself not weak?
a weak man, then,
is he who proves himself to be strong…?
perhaps, for the sake of proof
and social recognition
be critical, then,
of the man who proves himself to be
anything…
for it might clearly indicate
that the opposite is true.
