Living for the Narratives.
Yesterday, I talked a friend into why humans feel we are not the same. I pointed out that the human mind isn't fragile rather what deceives the onlookers is the inner choice made by such individual.
To some, fear is the end of what matters most and to others, fears are the beginning of what is insignificant. How and where we become afraid might vary but our responses to fear is all the same. We are all afraid that someday we will breathe our last and our decomposed bodies become some huge snack for insects to feed on.
But rethinking our common ground and searching deep into our humanity is some force we have neglected for a long. This part of us remains the same in every man. It is on this pedestal that we are enabled to embrace the truism of life's simplicity and strive hard enough to change the narrative of these insignificant competitions with others.
The world has outgrown the Stone Age still many of us continue to walk backwards into primitiveness. We are chained by too many inherited lies hovering over who we have been deceived to be and who we really are. We fail to explore the changes around us and grow through the files of what we have been uniquely designed for.
Our lives now belong to others with lies poured on us through social reviews, comments, and trends. We live in the patterns of others and consistently find solace in others taking responsibility for our wrongs. I know, the same way you do too, that every twist and turn are a combination of thorns and roses. Life is fair and foul but the one who has it must be wise and tough in shaping it into something better. We are nobody but ourselves. Our mind is ours to explore to the fullest.
It is our prerogative to stay put and sling our stones towards the giants in our lives - no matter the types. It is good we fall a number of times and rise again. In doing this, we condition our reflexes to never give up. We build innately a strength that is beyond procrastination.
It's proven that we will always need people at one point or the other in our lives but we are never to be defined by them. This means that If I am a man, I am for everything inside me and not just for the obvious reasons I am conditioned by tradition to be. Also, If I am a woman, I am because I'm happy being one and not choked by rules and unchanging traditions that displaces my humanity for a price belonging to another.
For me, the very essence of my being is to live my life as a written narrative fit for lessons and inspirations to everyone around and outside my sphere of existence.
Check this out! Are you living for the best or the worst of narrative there is or will ever be?
