Many seek freedom but refuse to let go of beliefs that deprive them of it
Many have hopes but are too scared to mention them
Many have yearnings, aspirations and dreams but refuse to acknowledge them
To know of freedom but to never experience it to know of love but too fearful to allow yourself feel it
Loving is eternal innocence and the only innocence is not thinking
Forget the conventional overly close minded things you were made to believe and forge your own path
Accept who you were, cherish who you are
And be hopeful of who you hope to be
We are all subject to change and at some point we have to learn how to embrace the inevitable instead of clinging to the past some of us thirst for knowledge
Regardless of it's source
And the validity of said source.
To be born into a world of objectivity
But never letting your mind grow past the simplistic yet subjective bounds that you were indoctrinated into from your earlier years
Will not only force you into a bleak narrow-minded existence
And lull you into a false sense of moral superiority and egotism
But also ruin your chances of ever experiencing and witnessing the beauties of life and all it has to offer
For we often view people from the same lense with which we view ourselves
So much of the negativity projected outwards
Stems from the inadequacies and insecurities within one's self
People can be mirrors but they can also be windows
They can be landmarks and inspirations
They can show you the world in a way you would have never been able to imagine
Through their eyes, through their ideas
Through themselves
We must learn from all there is, even if some of it goes against your fragile perception of "morality"
Though alot can be achieved through fear
Alot can be overlooked as well
It is not ideal
We cannot change anything until we accept it
Condemnation does not liberate,it oppresses
So seek to understand rather than to dismiss
Perfection is impossible
The chaotic fusion of thoughts that contradict everything you've ever known or chosen to believe
Based not only in fact
But also through a shared understanding that the freedom they seek can only exist in established chaos
Is enough to cure even the sane
To whom simply questioning their blind devotion is considered madness
Not the freedom to question conventional beliefs and thinking
But the bravery and honesty to do so
Vivere memento
