Reasoning

I am sitting here deep in thought,
but my thoughts are going nowhere.
It seems as if it endlessly,
circles out to somewhere.
Dwelling on countless things,
meaninglessness morphs to reason.
A consciousness afforded us,
to conquer every season.

The ultimate question, why? Our purpose, the meaning of life, why we need to suffer pain and challenges, if all we want is peace and understanding.

We are bombarded with information, technology, work, children, responsibilities, media, social demands… Life has become busy, complicated, confusing at times and we have become seekers of instant endorphins to smooth over the constant influx of information and self-inflicted expectations. Modern life has become intensely chaotic, with the modern human plugged into a web of stimuli. We are part of the machinery that makes the industry tick, that for which we suffer for, to feed the monster.

While our basic needs are to be safe, fed and ultimately live in a happy, healthy and peaceful state with the being around us, we find ourselves in the midst of man’s creation. With self-inflicted responsibilities and a need to be validated by what we accomplished and accumulated, while validation actually can only be found in our humanity and how we engage with others. We are born with these simple needs and from day one we are bombarded with our chaotic environment. We are programmed to fit into our unnatural surroundings which leads us astray from our basic needs and ultimately confuse us into mental health issues.

There is however a pause button, and we should press it from time to time, so that we can sit in silence, re-evaluate what we really need, to assess our surroundings and assimilate how we can take charge and simplify life so that we can live, love, care and breathe. Be bored, be silent, float away in your own thoughts. We so desperately need some silence from our busy surroundings. Make time to walk barefoot so that you can discharge and recharge more often.
