kings and pawns, emperors and fools …
In our society we have a way of making an exchange of goods and services using little pieces of colored paper. Now everyone knows what we have labeled these pieces of paper as. Lets not use that word for a moment and try an excercise in perception. You have a need and or desire to recieve some type of material or service. Yet for some reason you don`t recieve the service you need. Why ? Your concerned about how many pieces of paper you have available to you. How important are these pieces of paper ? Are they worth your life ? Most would answer no, quite emphatically. Really ? I think your lying. When you go home at night do you watch alittle t.v. ? Most people would say yes of course. We all know what is shown on this screen we stare at mindlessly. Images appear in rapid fire sequence to show you things you don`t really want or need. Yet after repeatedly seeing these images you deciede that yes, I do. It really doesn`t matter what you see on the screen. Trying to justify is of no value. You have decieded that this unnecessary object is more important than your personal well being. Why ? Someone else told you so. Right ? Right. I think you can see where I`m going with this. The question is why do you choose not to get a fair amount of sleep every night, not drink enough water, and constantly eat garbage ? Because someone told you to do these things. Sounds pretty pointless doesn`t it ? Before everyone gets all judgemental thinking that I am excusing myself here, think again. I used to do all that crap myself and still to this day do some of it. So don`t think I`m playing some sort of blame game. So isn`t it time to stop letting someone else tell you who you are and how to live your life ? We`ve all been programed to think we are someone were not. Yet we constantly do it to oursleves. Why ? Let`s take a first step, a small one, however a good one. Get a bottle, any kind will do, something you can easily carry. Put water in it. Drink the water throughout the day. When its empty refill it. When its lunch time, drink the water, not soda or coffee or anything else. Just plain water. Do this for a week, and stick to it. No cheating. Leave your loose change at home so the temptation is lessened. Don`t borrow money from your friends either. See how you feel after a week of drinking water. The human body needs sixty-four ounces of water everyday to function normally. I know you know, so why haven`t you been doing it ? Remember, your personal health is important. Change is good for you. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programing. Shop as usual and avoid panic buying.
