Mind of Life
All my life i lived alone, i knew damn well how to put up with myself. All this time being isolated from others, i learned how to set the standards that separate me from the rest of the world. If the world sets a standard for logic, then i deem to myself that i should build my own standards, though sometimes it is judged as something like "irrational" or "immoral" or some other insult to a person’s quest for perspective.It’s not about the degree of wealth or prestige that sets a man to the highest plane (though it can be said that a man with wealth has a greater degree of material satisfaction), but on how a man stands up to his own ways of life. There are so many people out there who tried and tried to crumble down my views, but I won in the end. And for that, I give merit to myself. I won another war in life.
Perhaps intuition tells me to fight on for my beliefs, and that I must do so because all my life i had fought my battles alone, and in the future fights I will have to depend on myself. That is why this early on i begin to build up my defenses, so as not to get too hurt or lose the very ideals i stood for. For so long i lived my life, i tolaerated pain and misery, anguish and sorrow, and for that I created so many barriers to hold them all back. I never regretted making those walls, but for me to venture back to the world, i must climb all of them, and careful not to fall in the trecherous waters of my past. If i were to open myself to the world, i must move on.
Still, there are ghosts in my life that needs to be repelled. I resolve to remove all of them, even if it means my life.
In all of the things that happened in my life, I never regretted the ideals and philosophies i made for myself. They were things that were custom-made just for me, like a dress in each different doll. My philosophies have bought me nothing but the truth in my life, and though i had face truths that are painful, i know too well that honesty is still the best policy.
I lived a life of knowing that the mind is beyond the heart, that my logic dictates everything that I made for in my life. My mind has made me the person i am now, and I wouldn’t want any other thing to make me in the future. If intellect were to bring me to greater heights, then I’ll let it carry me.
Still, there are many things that mind alone can’t do without. I realize, in one sense of logic, that I must use the intuitions of my heart once in a while. For that, I know that I can depend on my emotions as well to do the decisions for me. Together, the mind and the heart are an invincible pair.
Now, living in this present I call "life", I continue my path, learning anf re-learning experiences in life, soaking knowledge and finding my happiness….all this things revolve around in the vast expanse of my mind. Whether it is something i should live for, or it is the cause of my existence…my mind still rules over everything i have. In this world where standards are something dictated by society alone, I set my own…and it all goes down to the wonder of thinking itself.
knowledge is something all of us has, but only some try to pursue more.
emotions is something all of us express, but only some try to delve deeper to its cause.
love is something all of us can give, but only some try to find rationality behind it.
use your mind.
use your heart.
and it will make you succeed
