We Are...

[Guest guest]

We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.

With our thoughts we make the world.

-The Dhammapada

Now, a down to earth perspective on this;

We, and our world are nothing more nor nothing less

than how we perceive it. We have limitless abilities.

We can take the saddest of days and find happiness, or

to simply realize that it could always be worse..

trust me, it could be! We can enjoy laughter because

it came. Yes, it will fade in a moment, an hour, but

it has the ability to return many many times if we

simply let it in. We grasp onto many scary or negative

emotions and they overpower us, we become slaves to

what we " think " is our reality and our destiny. Most

of us are wrong. Dead wrong. I myself have been a

self-destructed victim many times. The human body is

full of these misguided views, interpretations, our

hopeless fates. Endless negativity yet we had/do have

the ability to turn it all off, and readjust our

footsteps. The mind is the mouse running on the wheel.

It never stops and we cannot catch up many times.

Little problems come and we magnify them until they

fill our sky, or we fear happiness because we only

know sorrow. equally as sad is the fact that we may

receive a blessing in life but through fear, we chase

it away, never accepting what it is. The worse part is

that it is done by us, and us alone. A star could fall

from the Heavens, a gift from a higher power, laid at

our feet, and from the overwhelming fear of this

event, we see a hot black rock and we run. The mind,

our perceptions, emotions, they will make us or break

us. Time to take control!.

Compassion To All,
