Rarely, I will ask myself why struggle so much when the destiny of humans is to be birthed and die? Fear of death throws me on the side of life. To me it doesn't make sense that I would want to be famous or have a lot of people like me, or teach a lot of people when everyone goes through death. Being famous and whatnot is merely having a louder sharper voice amongst the crowd for only a moment in Existence from which my body returns to. How great is the difference between a person having the voice to affect only themselves, and another affecting millions, amongst uncountable number of life forms and amongst an Existence that includes us, but includes everything and everyone else? How great is the difference between sharing a message and having the person say yes, compared to the person saying no? What difference is so great between being unlearned and having learning? Between yes and no, how much difference is there?
A day well spent and a day spent lazily both occupy a day, what about a life? The trend in western society is to glorify the hard worker that struggles and stresses and puts on his shoulders as many conflicts as he can handle. One way or the other, all can imagine the hard worker and I fall always a bit short. We work, and we're feeding ourselves and paving the road to financial stability maybe insert a few systems or services for people. We're lazy, and our health improves we're not on such a precarious mental tightrope. Both being lazy and working hard "improves" our own life but for some reason we can't meld the two together and keep the advantages of each and discard the shortcomings of each. The idea of balance comes in, between giving others the opportunity to live and making absolute our necessities within living daily, the immediate "solution" is to periodically go to both extremes. It's a joke but it's a fashion embraced by the system out of necessity to have people work long term for the system and it happens to align with the nature of the mind which likes to think and occupy itself in polarities/extremes. The system being an externalization of the mind, both the individual and the collective win, though at the behest of the environment and Earth in general.
I propose not participating in the tradition of extremes because of the imminent stress it places on your mind, being, and body, and that's about all everyone has. Seems exciting and your body is actually quite tough in that it puts up with the stress, but the invisible influential relationship of my awareness linking the mind, being, and body is denied. Because obsession tends to blind one to one or two points, and working hard and having lazy holidays incites obsession and you have an excuse of you're either working or you're having a holiday to not ask and answer the uncomfortable questions. Uncomfortable questions of which have great potential of benefit to you personally if you were willing to answer for yourself. Behaviours and habits that can't be shown or shared in public is the most obvious place to start. Weaknesses, personalities, characters, takes advantage of the already built in machine of the mind and there's no possibility every personality and character has gotten a good result in physical reality. I don't doubt certain personalities and characters gain a lot of support and money, but the whole premise is unstable because you're relying on the past to theoretically get you to understand what's here to manipulate what's here to equal money and support. What about letting go and eradicating the past, to understand what's here, to instead of manipulate based on fears and interests/desires, manipulate what's here to an outcome that's best for all because if the past is measurably let go of in its entirety as yourself, you'll have space to see how to rearrange stuff to benefit everyone. That doesn't mean your interest deletes itself, your interest is considered within the context of everyone else's interests and everyone has an equally significant interest.
Man know thyself. A man who knows others is cunning, a man who knows himself has strength. A growing trend that's inevitable is people specifying the understanding between the mind, being, and body because by now, or maybe not, people are realizing only serving one or the other is not healthy. Very few groups are taking as their purpose to research and share findings on this nonexistent relationship according to literature throughout history. Everyone has one, don't deny it, find out how it works through your own work or someone else's work. Why can someone else's work be relevant to my own mind? We're not special.
