balance

A bit of philosophical writing again, and somewhat over-discussed theme. Sorry, it is still an issue for me and I thought of sharing my thoughts here. So, what is it about? Society, social pressure and your own strivings, feelings and view of the world and people in it. What I find very funny, is that there are these imaginations, standards, which everyone thinks is the perfect way, but no one ever had part in it. For example: the perfect career catwalk, the perfect love and relationship, the perfect family, the perfect home. Why do people build and teach clichés? Why are we fed with the utopia of perfectness, as if it had rules and boundaries? Why do we categorize? Because we need a point of view to start with or to hold on to, when there is nothing else? Of course I has been grown up, too, on fairy tales and on the desire of having a perfect life. But somehow it never turned out to be like that, mostly because of the decisions I made myself. Anyway I feel it like they were coming from the inside and I never regret any of those and am actually quite happy with them. Most of all because I made these decisions myself disregarding what others would think. How can this be, if it doesn’t fit the cliché of the fairy tale of the society? Well, it is a question of reorganizing our view. On one side, lets be honest, it would be pretty boring, if everything happened as we programmed it when we were 5 years old. :-D On the other side it is a question of a balance between our present state, knowledge, luck, feelings, needs, desires and possibilities. Of course one can be happy living by the false rules of the society, if this is what they really desire inside. For me it is a kind of life without personality, like a puppet. The very basic grasp of what everybody wants, is being happy. What does happiness mean to different people, varies. Some have definite ideas about it, others don’t know and go after their nose, heart or with the flow. What I learnt from fairy tales and still believe in and experience as well, is just being yourself, doing what you believe in and not what the society expects you to, money does not make happy and that you can count only on yourself. But you get lost if you are alone. I mean, society is a great thing, you learn a lot from them, but you also have to learn the act of critique and not taking everything personally. Being independent and bound, in balance, at the same time is great! :-)

I think my train of thought got a bit mixed up, typical :-D

Now, here is this great band, with a fitting song: “Nothing else matters” form Metallica

OK-OK, here is another style, just for the sake of balance ;-)

“Happy” from Leona Lewis
