Dissonance
So it seems...that I have walked my path as a mindless ghost for far too long.
Long enough to be blinded away from the unpleasant realities of the people I've come to love.
Long enough to be blinded by the impacts of my own subconscious doings on my friends.
and long enough, to finally see the dissonance in the beauty I assumed ahead.
this post is shallow compared to what has been going thru my mind these few days ... it may not make sense to some though ... but here goes
I'd like to talk about hierachy and politics once again.
It's everywhere, isn't it? With the way this society is ticking, hardly anyone can deny that they are necessary for progress. The troublesome part of these, however, is that although it might promise a certain degree of order and organization, it comes with a cost, and often a heavy one at that. As people with common goals but different ideals come together, friendships and relations might be tarnished. With uncapable men at the top of the hierachial ladder, everything simply falls apart. Influences ... Struggles for power ... coalitions ... secret meetings ...
sigh ...
It's darkening societies and organizations. There hardly is an organization with pure goodness and no evil lingering about. However, one true fact remains, and this is my logic. An evil organization doesn't make a person evil, rather, his own beliefs and ideals do. As long as you stand strong and firm to your own basic morals, beliefs ... nothing can sink you. In other words, learn to be true to yourself. There might be people out there attempting to control, influence or even destroy, and the only condition for their victory, is for your mind to give in to their preachings. One should always know how to make his own judgements instead of blindly receiving information from external sources. It's often damanging to have too much faith in everyone approaching you, even if he might appear to be a friend to you. That is the weakness of many people, including myself.
If a person chooses to leave because of this darkening situation, he might be simply seeking to escape from reality... very probable a sign of weakmindedness. I have always tried to embrace the coming of this issue, though I'm not completely sure if Im successful. I work for the love of it, and I work for those whom I call friends. I have little love for power and no love for organisational politics, and i work solely for the fact that i find it pleasurable and enriching. Those are my ideals, and the beliefs which I've chosen to guide my life with.
