When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.
I've always found people who take life so seriously quite interesting. Everything is the biggest decision they have ever made, every problem the end of the world, and everything spoken taken to heart; Or what about people who spend their entire life trying to be perfect, to never have anything out of place, never say a word that could be taken out of context. Its like they have been stripped of any sense of passion, they are always controlling what is going on around them. We put ourselves on pedistals sometimes, maybe not to the extreemes of others, but we put requirements onto ourselves that were never ment to be there, requirements that belittle us or limmit us. Have you ever told yourself something like, “oh don't do that people will think your to needy” or “I'm not aloud to do that, i need to step up, do more, there is no time for fun” or even simply, “I'm meant to do better, im required to be better”. Looking at it, it might not even seem bad, but can you tell me where the life is? Where the freedom is? Where your joy is?
We are humans we are not perfect, we will never be perfect, everyone knows that we are human and i bet that they certanly don't take you as seriously as you take yourself. Learn to loosen up, see the world for its possabilities not its limmitations. There is so much out there, when you take your eyes off yourself and your own situations you realize that everyone else is as imperfect as you. We all need to learn to be free to be ourselves, to let our hair down to act a little silly to have fun and enjoy life. Its only when we are truly alive we can start to live. My Favourite quote is from Nelson Mandela at the end of it, it says “And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same”
Love it Sam!!!
