Tribulations

Tribulations

So life goes on and time does not stand still for any of us. This is the harsh truth which we are not groomed for throughout our entire childhood. We are made to believe we are special and that the world does in fact revolve around us.....

I am afraid this is so far removed from the truth that it is quite scary for those that have seen the demon of Pride and Vanity for what it really is.

A Facebook profile would most likely be the McDonald's of one's ego where it feeds you with likes and comments and ultimately shares that make you feel like you really are at the centre of so many unworthy mortals worlds. They adorn your duck lip poses and the tight clothes that make all the right curves stand out so every perverted person can stare and salivate after you like some kind of cheap Barbie doll for those who cannot afford one. This is what you crave, you seek and what you need to be the oh so popular face of what so many would want and need in their lives I guess.

Correction... You have no clue what real admiration is and what it affords you with the right kind of people.

True admiration is a sign of respect and it shows that what you do is deserving of another person's awe and it makes you feel good and not the instant gratification that a half-naked selfie gives you... no. It is when you feel a sense of achievement and can look at something you have done and marvel or just say proudly: "I am responsible for that" to anyone who really matters. So put on some real clothes and do something that matters to someone who matters out there. Take off the stupid hats with Trukfit on and fill your brain with knowledge that you could share with your own sons or daughters someday.

Do not just think I am talking to girls alone... oh hell no! You lazy ass guys that are so self-serving and egotistical need to get yourselves a job and stop thinking that hanging out in a gym gives you purpose because it doesn't. Take care of your kids and be the man that you would look up to if you were them, they deserve that at least. Even if you don't have a job do something constructive there are literally hundreds of volunteer things you could do or just be more involved with them and stop trying to make another one with a different woman.

This seems like a rant and rave but I try to share as much as I have learnt through writing so how about we put down the ridiculous hats and stop posing and start living in the real world just for today.

True Grit

True Grit

With ever changing times, trends and all other manner of newer fashions popping up all over the show it's no wonder we lose who we are after a while. We are so indoctrinated by media and outside influences into thinking that newer is always better and oh so good for us at all times.

Nothing could be further from the truth in fact, It is your past, heritage and roots that truly define who you really are and they cannot be new or improved can they? These are things that are anchored in our families and the societies in which we submerge ourselves in on a daily basis regardless of what or who we are dealing with. The things we are taught to hold onto and cling to will be the defining point in our lives and what people will associate you with for the rest of your life.

It is the traditions and the deeper meanings of religious, cultural or sectarian gatherings and assemblies that define where modern civilization has gotten it's guidelines and backbone from. It is the basis of laws and rules within any country city or geographical region no matter where you go, It all started with someone holding dear what was passed down to them as being the correct or incorrect way of doing things.

Why then do we disown our own cultures and forefathers as if to point out that what they believed in and fought for harder than we could imagine fighting for anything, was all for nothing and that these ideals were only for the fool hardy. Embrace your differences and celebrate the fact that you come from a tribe of people that braved a land without boundaries and territories that were so harsh no normal human being could survive unless you come from an extraordinary race of survivors.

Show true grit and stand up for a culture and a heritage almost lost in the pop culture that is the world outside and pay homage to those who walked barren lands that you could call this beautiful place your home. Know where you come from in order to understand where you need to be someday and above all else teach your children the heritage that you have almost forgotten yourself. Then rest easy knowing that you made sure that there is someone that will never forget where we came from and where they are going.

Love who and what you are always.
