Why do we need a messenger?

 Why do we need a message and a messenger? Can we not figure things out for ourselves? We rely on someone else to guide us and to show us the way. There has to be someone who knows better than me and that can highlight the path ahead for me. We are vulnerable, insecure and a messenger who has the attributes can lead us in some direction. Someone who does not seem to follow, someone who does not seem to fall within the structure. Someone who has something to say. Someone who can answer the how. 


We give up our curiosity to find out for ourselves when we follow and are lead. We are so ready to be lead. It is so ingrained in us to follow someone. We have always followed and believed. There has always been a parent, a teacher, a preacher, a president. They seem to be leading but are they really? Are we so gullible to think one man can lead the whole country? 


I saw when I was older that my parents were very much doing their best but there were no extraordinary humans.  They were just figuring things out as they went along and sometimes not figuring anything out at all, it was pretty much free fall. All the balls in the air and many of them falling all around them most of the time and sometimes they managed to catch one. We were not really raised by them in any strict sense. We all just were taking each day as it came, some days made more sense than others. 


You think the president doesn’t have off day? That if he stepped away from the office that it would all fall apart? Well we would be surprised that majority of what he does has very little to do with running a country in any real sense. You have to make sure that your household is in tact, that you have food and money to survive today that’s all on you. 


Our parents are part of a system, we are in a system, that system has a leader. This is what is passed down to us from all angles. We are followers, we seem to revert to being followers. It is much safer to be in the system, someone else is supposedly in control. It held together by some very good actors, they have so called charisma and confidence. They know how to play with words, they are convincing behind their podiums. They wouldn’t be convincing if you were not convinced. Why are you convinced? 


Is it lonely to realise that you are the author? Is it daunting to finish it alone? Yet we say we want to be entrepreneurs . Being an entrepreneur you stand completely on your own you don’t rely on anyone or anything. You forge the way, there is no system and no one above you to correct your work or guide you.

There Was A Time Before Algorithms

I know it’s going to sound strange but there was a time before algorithm   Where we basically made our own decisions Yes it sounds like we were out of rhythm   But actually we got to use our brains   People met each other offline   It was a fun time   Of-course there was no offline because there was no online   The only thing online was our brains   Now of-course our brains are offline our phones are online   Not that there is much of a difference between our phones and our brains   Haven’t you seen you go to sleep around the same time you leave your phone alone   Can’t function unless you are one with your phone So if your phone is your brain   Then what will your brain do? Anyway people met and spoke and determined if they would meet again  At an actual location, mostly outdoors, when the weather was right And you couldn’t just unsubscribe at the bottom of the email   You had to have a tough real conversation   Or r...

Love?

  The world understands love as dating and owning each other, having a person. Getting married to another person and all that jazz. Love in this way is someone that I will be jealous over. Someone that I will use for something, to get something out of them. To the world love is the person who carries my burdens, has to deal with my demons, my aggression, my flaws. Love also is not the contrary of all these things for if it were then it would not be love.   In the world a friend again is the person that you use/ abuse. When you need someone to burden and then fight with. Tell them your petty fights at work and mischievous things you find yourself entangled in.  What then is love? Love cannot be fenced into a description, precisely the word love is limited, it’s only a word and can be abused and is used and abused. Everyone uses that word even when they are drunk and when they make absolutely no sense. They use that word when they have abused their friends and want forgiven...

When people genuinely love each other there is no need for boundaries

When we love each other we do not need to set boundaries. Love overcomes the need for boundaries. It is when there is no love that boundaries exist.  If you love each other naturally you won’t hurt each other. However when there is contempt for each other we will hurt each other and then we will set boundaries.  Boundaries are not a natural part of our relationships. They are like borders, they are created because we have been hurt. They are created out of fear. When you become aware that someone can hurt you, you have to create a border / a boundary so that they do not hurt you.  Living in boundaries is limited. Rather live in love. We force ourselves into relationships that require boundaries as we have come to understand relationship as synonymous with conflict. We thrive from the ups and downs of relationships and thus we need boundaries from the very people that we say we love. Is it not possible to live without hurting each other?  Do you want to be in love or ...
