Man i feel you. the whole idea of parents shaping who you are. a lot of parents hold back their kids and help shape the way they are making it hard to be an individual. i just be who i am peacefully. if i get into fights with my mom, dad, friends ect. they're always the ones raising their voices while i try to resolve conflicts peacefully and in a positive way. thanks for the vid man. peace to all...
true, thanks for the words of wisdom. I actually feel like I have to remove my comment now because I don't like reading it lol. yea, I guess it's just learning and moving on with everything.
I like the way you put it. Now I feel like every time I do something, or take an action, I am asking myself, " What would me in the future think about me now" because that's the main thing that would really get me thinking about if what I'm doing is really something that's good, or maybe something I might regret. It's funny though because almost no matter what I always look back and want to change something about what I said or did. Well keep it up with the nice vids! Hope to c more frm u soon!
as long as you do what you feel is right, then you can't go wrong...because even in the future, you will have the understanding that you were doing what you felt was the right thing to do...its when a person does the wrong thing, even though they know there is a right action they can choose...and then looking back at it, it really nags at them...
inspirational...This is going to sound nerdy but I am writing my extra credit report for my Individuals in Society course...Thanks, it's nice to see people think about these things, sometimes you can feel alone in the world despite your knowledge of loved ones...
The love you feel will fill you and make each time easier until it becomes normal expression. Human are both physical and spiritual - a kind touch communicates through both of these channels. <3 to all.
I came from a very expressive loving family so I know how good it feels, I have some friends that stiffen and feel confronted to any love and it was easy to understand once I got to know their families and see how they interacted with one another.
It give as a sense of validation and comfort and it is given by someone who will sacrifice their own possible feelings of discomfort in the offering of comfort to another. That is an essential of love. A disconnected & sterile like family can cause one to feel unable to accept this expression of love later and leave some yearning for it but unable to accept it. If this is you, you can recondition yourself and find the will to open up no matter how awkward/unnatural it feels at first.
Some may not be used to this open expression of love because they were never exposed to it themselves in their family. They may feel uncomfortable expressing their feelings this way (ie. too mushy ect.) but the beauty of a warm congratulatory back pat, a hug or a kiss or any other loving gesture is that it is an open, intentionally communicated message of love.
I think some families don't openly express love to one another by blatantly saying "I love you" or really showing it with contact (hugs, kissed,a simple caring gesture). They assume that the other knows that the are loved. It can be argued that there are many ways to show love besides these contact gestures (like doing a favor, taking care of someone) but I don't believe they are intimate enough or communicate feeling as does a loving gesture or a simple "I love you".
thanks, learnt 2 listen 2 inner voice, b true 2 self... As adults we can choose who we be with, what we absorb from where. In my dreamz the ship i sail is at one with the sea, thru storms n millponds, n now have an anchor! No map, FREEDOM!!!! x
but at the same time it feels good i donno im confused...i don't know i just live my life with little care about anything mostly hate and such...its kinda like a ship i sailed and went into a storm my boat sank and now im swimming trying not to drown...love is there but i don't know what it is and i don't know if it can save me
yeah...I think a lot of people feel that way...you will know when you find love when you can "stop swimming without sinking" and rest for a while in its embrace...
i can relate to the part where you talked about unloved i guess its not good talking about my family history but...yeah i kinda doesn't feel right to love sometimes i just wanna let it go and never think about it...
It's a difficult thing when you yourself are brought up into an environment where you feel kinda stupid because of how you were raised and how much confusion and chaos there is out there..That it is..
There's a dove commercial, i know that sounds lame, but it's alright. It has this little girls and it shows how media impacts her and her views of what's beautiful and whatnot. I think it's called "onslaught."
some commercials have some really creative people making them...I haven't seen that one...but I have noticed a little shift in some of the commercials I have seen lately...at least a few of them...
I feel when you are around people our energy and molecules overlap and we actually change one another on a chemical kinda level so your right about surrounding yourself with what you define as good, kind etc. Peace
Yeah i have thought about this alot over the years, how much of my personality is mine etc...i think most of it is mine, but there have been some aspects which i have had to over come which i feel were to do with my parents, having a short fuse is one of them, i have to activly work against that. As you say you can scrap these things away but it does take some work :)
yeah...sometimes it takes a lifetime to untie some of those knots that hold us down...but if we are aware of them, it makes it much easier to handle...so the fact that you are able to recognize your short fuse is a huge step in lengthening it...
Defo! :) I guess i have come to see my short fuse as bad karma & as we know you can get rid of bad karma it just takes effort & persisstence, there is a karma burning mantra i use that i learnt from Dattatreya that helps me remember & focus on it, i have found this works quite effectivly.....think my spelling may be off there! Anyhow.
yeah, good questions. We really have to walk the razors edge in life between "opening up" and allowing certain influences IN and "puttin up our shell" to protect ourselves from negativity. It isn't easy, and becoming "authentic" to who we REALLY are is what is needed, a total cleansing of what my friend used to call our "crap sack," of what we carry around with us. thanks Freesoul.
It's a tightrope that we walk. One major slip, and down you go. I believe relatively few people have walked the tightrope without eventually falling. That's where the Dark Side of the Force comes in. Vader and all, ya know?
I think we all fall a little, but how many of us get back up, time and time again? that is what I see as the difference...between the dark and the light....
crap sack, eh? hehe...yeah, I haven't heard that one...I have heard "baggage" used though...
I think the major player in letting stuff in or keeping it out is trust...that is why our parents are such huge providers of habits and ideals, because of our instinctive trust of them...
I get what you are saying. Influence can also fuel your desire to do something about all the negative influences. It's messed up man. I got so many feelings on this. Too much to put here.
I don't know who said it, I think it was bukowski, but he said (and I am paraphrasing) that it doesn't matter how much people shit on you or steal from you, as long as you keep that spark inside and protect it, you will be okay...but once you let them extinguish that spark, then you are doomed...
the shell that protects us is when we take shelter. Take shelter of Gouranga. that keeps us immune to material contamination yet still fully loving and able to express fully too. Call out Gouranga my friend! great video. peace
what I mean is that those reactions may define who we are to the outside observer...but I don't think they define who we are to the inner observer...that there is that knowledge of the true self always present...
I think it's a combination of the environment (external factors) and genetics.
