We create rules for peace. We want peace to obtain order. We need order to live conveniently, effectively, and effeciently.
Di mo kailangan sundin ang norm nila. You don't have to if you don't want to. Bawal mag yosi? Bawal alak? Eh gusto mo. Go. Sundin mo ang gusto mo.
Kaso, nakatira ka sa isang komunidad where your imperfections become your mistakes and your mistakes become your responsibilities. Di mo kasalanan na gustuhin mag inom, mag yosi, mag droga. Humans are built to be tempted. It's in our DNA.
However, it is also in our DNA to learn from experience. We'll know only when we've experienced it and we won't stop unless we do. We only know how hard the consequences are after we've been there. Kaso pag na experience na natin, minsan ang hirap ng i-wala sa sistema natin. Ang hirap kalimutan dahil alam nating minsan tayong sumaya sa mga ito, na kahit nakakasira, patuloy parin nating winawasak ang ating sarili dahil wala na tayong ibang nakikita na makakapagdulot ng kasiyahan saatin kundi ang mga ito.
Yes, we get blinded by temporary happiness that sometimes we forget what happiness realy means. Does it have to come from something else? Material things? Intangible things? Whatever. These are just different definitions of happiness. Your kind happiness could be different from my kind of happiness.
You don't have to think much about it. If you think you are happy, then you are. No bandwagons, no false laughs, just you and your smile.
We always thought that we have no choice but to be in the system simply because we are a part of the system. What if that's not the case? What if it's not that we are part of the system? Maybe we ARE the system itself. Take care of your own system. Take care of your own life because no one else can take advantage of that except you.
Smile. Love yourself.
