The fight within

Truly, deep inside, we all know how our lives ought to be running. The human soul longs for harmony and peace for it knows quite well that it should be so. From the external, come numerous forces that are seemingly determined to ensure that the expected peace and calm is never achieved.

The role of guaranteeing some form of order lies squarely on the individual. Once man realises this, then man must depart on the adventure of self discovery and self improvement. Such improvement of self is the only known remedy for bringing the desired balance in the inside. The adventure is quite interesting - indeed, it can easily be made into a fulltime activity - and why not, the heart is known to be the wellspring of life. If we can spend more time sharpening the inside, then most of the other issues that otherwise keep us busy day in day out would become non-issues. We well know that certain beliefs confine their people into a lifetime of this kind of search and development - surely, it must be well worth it.

I must admit that in my own search and development, I have come to appreciate that the human being is capable of taking full control and care of every aspect of life. What then would the issues that are oftenly considered as being out of control be? I would not be talking about birth, time of birth or death but exactly that which lies in between.

The good thought encourages me to question the things that cause man frustrations and the sense of defeat. Do we bring such things upon ourselves? I dare say YES.
