To Be, or Not To Be - Human

Ego is the cement that holds together the illusion of this reality.

To Be, or Not To Be - Human
http://www.nosweatshakespeare.com/blog/speech-memorable/

We live in a society that respects its scientists and engineers. Although evidently not enough to let them lead us. But only enough to make celebrities out of them and place them on a pedestal next to our seers and hypnotic divas.

Providence seems to only speak through these figures whom our collective conscious has upheld as those who could move it. It's hard to tell if our Public figures are the actors on the stage of this world, or if they are only the audience and stenographers of our history; and we the people are the actors. Whatever the case, it seems that all dances sway to the same divine tune that is being played in our Universe.

Be it king, queen, demigod, human or animal; we are all of feet of clay. We get angry, we aspire, we try, we fail, we brood, we fight, we love, we hate. All are but born on the same level playing field. We only see ourselves as better or worse than others only through the prism of our own ego that fails to cull the illusion of this reality. Ego is the cement that holds together the illusion of this reality together. It’s a pity that the illusion is protected by those whom it imprisons. A strange irony indeed this world has perpetually existed in.

We leave this world as we entered it. With nothing in our hands but the entire universe in our hearts. Having said that, if you allow injustice to exist, it will only spread and affect you in the end. The same goes to say of evil, treachery, lies, deceit and all other form of darkness. If you do nothing to stop them, do not go around blaming God saying that we live in an unfair world. Salvation is never individual, but always collective. Then how can we blame God for living in an unfair world, where we do not have the courage to stem the tide of darkness.

Humanity has come very far! Far enough for each member of its race to ask this question of themselves! If you knew the son of God by his name; as a close friend, or as a lover, or as a brother, or as your homie, or as a childhood friend, or as a crush, would you still allow him to be sacrificed to save the entire humanity? If so, is the Human race really worth saving? What would you say? Or, what would the Universe say? I wonder!!...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
