The idea of impersonalizing – creating a wall between yourself and the other person so you don’t feel their humanity and can treat them like an object, a number, for the sake of your convenience – is killing our society. Removing human characteristics from a human? Make it make sense.
Whenever someone says, “Oh, this is business, it is supposed to be about money.” But when they are selling, the business suddenly becomes all about “helping.” Once sold, treat them like numbers. Be impersonal. Create a gap. Don’t for a second think they are human. Say you empathize but never back it with action. Words. Empty words.
I pray that they find their humanity back. I am disgusted at the actions of these humans. This fills me up with rage.
No wars, no violence will stop until we start treating humans like humans – not as assets, not as units of profit, not as tools.
Human!
We call war generals cruel.
How many times have you suffocated your empathy to follow the rules made by the authority?
How many times have you not stood up against unfairness because speaking up would cost you your job?
How many times have you felt nothing when someone begs you for help?
How many times have you stuck to the rules when someone was in pain but you could have helped?
How many times?
How many times has someone you know done this?
Multiple times.
And what did you do?
Nothing. “Because it’s out of my hands. It’s the authority. It is in their control. What can I do?”
Call them out.
Will calling out do any help?
If nothing else, it will make them uncomfortable. Calling out the gap between their words and actions will make a difference. It will make them look within – one day or another.
The bloodsuckers who think they are men of God will realize they have been men of cruelty.
Men of corruption.
Men of greed.
And how do I know this? I have seen these men, closely. I have breathed the same air as these men.
Not to go down the man-hating path again – but every time I trace the cruelty back, there is a man.
A man of God on paper.
A man of cruelty in action.
A man of corruption.
A man of greed.
Man! Get a life!
Look within.
Phew. Now that some of the rage is out.
Let me talk about trust.
This one sentence by from the article The Kaliyuga Con: How We Use Mythology to Excuse Our Failures has been stuck in my head:
“It becomes rational even virtous to abadon trust.”
And it got me thinking.
Why has it become a flex to not trust anyone? Or is this peak of indvidualism that you don’t even trust yourself? (I feel like, I am talking like my dad - hating on indvidualism)
Oh my, no one ever reached nirvana by not trusting themselves. By not trusting their soul. Not trusting the love inside them.
Now, I know not everyone is specifically chasing “Nirvana” - but you are chasing some sort of spiritual elevation, ecstacy, enlightenment, eternal bliss, joy, peace or a place in heaven, right? If you are not aming to be your higher self, why are you reading this article? And when will you stop lying to yourself?
To get to the Nirvana, you have to trust. Sure, you have made mistakes in the past. You have made stupid decisions in the past but you have also learnt from them. If you have not yet, you always have time to relect and learn from your mistakes. You know better now.
And, only you can decide if you need to move forward on the path if you are feeling stuck. Stop asking AI to make decisions for you. Stop asking anyone to make decisions for you. You make your decisions. It’s you life - not chat gpt’s. This is the fun part about being an adult. You make your own decisions. You make your own mistakes. You walk on your own path.
And, you trust yourself.
You TRUST yourself!
You trust your desire to love. You trust the kindness in your heart.
Trust the compassion of your soul.
Trust your humanity.
If you forget to trust, like I do, I have assigned myself a shortcut to remember.
Everytime I see a seagul - it is a reminder for me to trust.
Trust myself. Trust the universe. To turn the the trust dail all the way up.
Trust that you are not alone.
Trust that you are strong.
Trust your intentions.
