“ life can only be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be touched with life”
Thich Nhat Hanh
Before reading this post, take a look at the video, and reading the fallowing three terms.
*Paradise; a place, situation, or condition in which somebody finds perfect happiness
*Utopia; an ideal and perfect place or state, where everyone lives in harmony and everything is for the best.
*Pride; the correct level of respect for the importance and value of your personal character, life, efforts, or achievements.
I talked about this a while back, about wolves. Their bright ember eyes, the way they stick together as one, never really messing with others, and protecting the pack, and teaching the young cubs new things ever day. But the one thing that I didn’t talk about is how much pride a wolf has, in my opinion, I think the wolf are the only animals who show their pride, and express them self the way they do. With one simple glance at a wolf’s eye you can sense the, pride within them. Their never afraid to die to protect what they intend to protect, they always bring food to the pack no matter how hard the pray may be to catch.
So in a way, wolves live in a perfect utopia. Everything is balanced with them. They hunt to feed them self’s, but they don’t just hunt any animal that comes their way. They hunt the week, sick and dieing animals that roam around. By doing this they are finishing of the ones that are already going to die, and putting them to a better use.
Ok enough about wolves. So over all we can say that wolves do live in a utopia, an ideal place where wolves live in harmony and everything is for the best, but why isn’t it a paradise?
Paradise has many meanings, and on of them meaning “heaven” and the garden that Adam and Eve where put in, but I will not go into detail with that subject. So for now where sticking to ( *Paradise; a place, situation, or condition in which somebody finds perfect happiness). So, why don’t we call it a paradise, we don’t call it paradise, because there's not always happiness, in the end. Like everything on this earth, we are born, and we die, that’s the rule of the land, and we all live by it no matter what.
For you paradise might be a place, where you can relax, and brake free from everyday life, but is there really such place called paradise? A place of perfect happiness? The only way I see paradise is when we all die, and we don’t have to worry about anything , and everything is over and done, that’s when paradise may be reached, like ok yea I will say it going to “heaven”.
So, can we say that paradise is all, but a really fancy word. But us humans, always look for the dark side of things.
For example, if lets say your 100% problem free, you automatically, think that nothings going to go wrong. But what if in deed some does go wrong. You where promised a 100% of nothing going wrong. So what do you do now? You go back to the person who told you “ your 100% problem free” now they got a big problem on their hands.
So that’s why, nobody says 100% no more, now its 99.99% so theirs a .01 change of something going wrong. So now if you where told you are “ 99.99% problem free” and some thing does go wrong, you cant do anything about it, because, their was a .01 change of something going wrong.
So now us humans look at paradise as a 100% way of happiness, but no no no, we cant have 100% so we distich the whole concept of paradise, and come to the conclusion that paradise, is only a word and nothing more. That we cant reach paradise, theirs nothing there.
So now we don’t use paradise no more, we use utopia ( *Utopia; an ideal and perfect place or state, where everyone lives in harmony and everything is for the best.) but now its not a sure perfect. now its an ideal of a perfect place or state. so now we have a 99.99% and .01 chance that an utopia is not paradise, but over all they can be classified as the same thing, but now we have a chance of something going wrong.
But who knows, we may never truly know if paradise is truly a word, or a place, but we can sure look for our own versions of paradise, a holy word or a holy place, and distach our self’s from the man made word “ utopia”
He wakes up, walks to the bathroom, brushes his teeth, takes a shower, goes to his bedroom , puts his cloths on, and walks out the door.
When he walks, its as if he walks alone, and the only thing that fallows is his own shadow, always taking a step, rite after he does. Day in day out, its always the same thing.
But this kid is no ordinary kid, many people look at him, as if there is something wrong with the kid, the kid just looks back, deep into their eyes and just look, until the other person looks away.
Others see him as if he has a future ahead of him self, and this is true, the kid got the grades, the dreams, everything he has its pointing him at the right direction, all he has to do is keep his head up.
But, why does the kid feel empty? As if he wasn’t good enough? He just feels as if his existing, by always doing the same thing over and over, its as if life has no more feeling, its always the same shade of gray.
A kid was born today, a person died today, today is someones birthday, today someones car got stolen, today someone bought a new house, today someone lost their house, today someone met there life partner, today someone lost their life partner, today someone got on their feet, and today someone is living in the streets. Its always the same thing day in, day out, day after day, year after year.
So what's the meaning of life? To be breathing and living, to be happy, and sad? Is the meaning of life, to be waiting for "god" to end this world? Start a new one? With out sad and sorrow? With out hate, with out these bad things that is happening now in days?
But the kid has a different view point on this. With good there is always going to be evil, with happiness theirs always sadness. With light always comes dark, so its ying and yang, they live of each other, and need one another to stay alive. So is this "new world" really coming or is it just a long told story?
A long told story, for those who feel like life is worthless and boring, and to make them wait, and hope for the better? Maybe it is true u never know, but for the kid, he knows that there is someone watching him and guiding him, someone worthy of the name "god" as he's the only one that's truly with him, day in and day out.
So now the kid has a propose, to keep going. He knows that out there theirs something waiting for him, something he truly wants, a life with out him feeling lonely, a life where not only his shadow walks with him.
But a life where, day in and day out, theirs an eagle eye watching over him.
