The answer to this question is the story you tell yourself about yourself, forms your identity, or self-concept.
How you approach the challenges of life, what you believe you are capable of, how you treat others, what you value and how you view the world, all are influenced by your self-concept.
At present time, the social media has poison the human society. The sickness of a society is by-product of the sickness of the self-concepts of the people like you.
You have never asked yourself that simple question - "Who am I?" and that made you to be an individual with weak and distorted self-concepts, self-concepts that are fearful of novelty, infused with helplessness, riddled by anxiety, plagued by self-hate or lacking in self-reliance. So many individuals like you made up this sick society.
I'm not blaming you, you are product of many factors, including your upbringing, education, biology, environment, interpersonal relations and personal experiences.
As you getting older you become more and more a coward. That is the most striking feature of old age, the loss of courage and it is caused by conformity. The pathological conformity infected you to the core is making you older than you really are.
You believe that to be a good person is to be a compliant person and to do what you're told by those in positions of political power and their puppets in the media and celebrity culture.
Do you ever see that all your actions are done with blind obedience, without concern for morality and empathy to the others. While you remain willfully ignorant of the fact that government rules are basically immoral, driven by corruption, that they are against your very individuality, they are leading you directly towards your own ruin.
The Hitchhiker's Guide
According to the novel, the most advanced computer in our universe, The
Deep Thought, spent 7.5 million years to calculate the answer to this ultimate
question. And, as we see, it is 42... Is this a consequence of a vaguely
formulated question?
It is so funny. This question is just like a
question: What is eye color of a barren woman's son?
So my
friend, stop all your worries.
I put all my efforts toward myself
in the most selfish way but I'll share it with you: there is no one thing in
this life worth to be worried about. You are here for a short period of time
in order to have fun. Life has no meaning unless you want to fool yourself!
I
have concluded this in December 2014, while I was sitting besides my mother in
hospital. She was dying from liver cancer. She was sleeping in a bed, I was
beside her and I was thinking about her life, how beautiful and strong she
was, and how her life passed so quickly.
I realized, back then,
that she never existed, she as a person, as an identity, was just a bunch of
memories and stories which on the end, are all forgotten. Life is not given to
us, it is here to blind us from our real Self, but that is just for some short
period of time, life is just like a dream.
So have a fun, be and feel healthy, look nice and observe details, notice
and understand things as they are happening... and laugh. Don't forget
to laugh.
If you think that with some magical change you will start
understanding life and get enlightenment you are really on the wrong track.
There is no enlightenment and no transformation, no change can bring you
closer to that.
The whole enlightenment thing is based upon the
idea of transformation. The same as you, I hoped that my morning meditation
will change me. The truth is, there is nothing to be changed or
transformed.
Enlightenment, awakening, waking up, self-realization,
Truth, moksha, liberation, and all that stuff are just variations on the same
theme. Change!!!
We want to change ourselves but we have never
questioned the existence of that one who is to be changed. And wanting
something that does not exist is the root of all problems.
Dream nice dreams Zee!
Couple years ago, I was sitting in the morning meditation when suddenly God
came to visit me. Wow, God finally came to me. I was overjoyed but only for a
little while...
Have you ever suspected this Zee? Everything is but a vision, it has no
existence.
I could hardly breathe, "A vision"?
Life itself is only a vision Zee, a dream. Nothing exists, all is a dream.
Me, man, the world, the sun, moon, stars - all a dream, all without
existence. Nothing exists except you. Only you exist!
I!?
But you are not you. You have no body, no blood, no bones, you are
awareness, all pervading thought "I".
I myself have no existence, I am but a dream you dream, creature of your
imagination. I am going away. You will remain a thought, only existent
thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. Here and now,
I have revealed you to yourself and set you free.
Dream nice dreams Zee!
Do you see that the world is pure insanity, the silly creation of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks. Zee, it is your dream, you are maker of it.
It is true, that which I have just revealed to you, there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all dream, and very foolish one. Nothing exists but you. And you are but "I" thought, wondering the empty eternities.
He vanished and left me walking my lonely path...
