Being serious

Hi

Okey. I got this feedback recently which made me think. (Im grateful for it)

"You are too serious"

I got this before but that time I though - oh great... I like it... -
I dont like it anymore, it must be at last by some extent true. I must behave in a more serious way. Yes now also a lot of people think its not a problem, but I simply know that hey... its just not me.

I don't wanna be serious, I wanna be childish, playful, cheerful and funny.

It made me think. People tend to get serious by getting older. So they think that being serious comes with being adult. thats bullshit. okey if you are something like 70 you have to be more serious because you cannot just run around naked on a square or something like that. But come on, we are between 20 and 30. Phisycally we are in our best age...
I tell you what, we get more serious because we get more responsibility from life. Responsibility towards ourselves, towards our tasks (work) and towards other people. This increased responsbility creates a reaction that makes us behave in a more serious way.

But why?

If you have more responsibility, you have to be more responsible and not more serious! Is this some kind of natural reaction that comes with responsibility? "Adults do it and we mimic? Its even integrated to the society and its in our mindset (another paradigm).

If you dont behave seriously, you are automaticly considered to be childish and irresponsible...


I say this is bullshit! Fight against it! Be cheerful, enjoy life and be responsible!


"You dont stop playing because you get older, but you get old because you stop playing."


be good and playful

The world around us

Recently I heard an interesting story.

Mr X was getting better in his career and now thinking to buy a car. His friend called him, offering him a new car, a gold-metal Mercedes. When he saw it, he just loved it. It was gorgeous for him, he has never seen such car in his life before. So he bought it.

Happily driving home he just noticed another golden Mercedes on the road, and another, and another… they were everywhere…

The thing is, that there were golden Mercedes cars on the road even before he bought his own, he just couldn’t see those because his mind was not “calibrated” to pay attention on those. He didn’t have the brain cells to notice them, to process them. They were irrelevant for him because he thought, they were not in his reach.

Each day we process millions of effects from the environment around us. How much do we see? How much do we let ourselves see? How much do we want to see? What do we filter out consciously or either unconsciously?

Another example, which is more unbelievable is that Cuban Indians on the beach didn’t see Colombus’ ships coming, they saw only the rifts on the ocean surface. They should have seen the ships but they didn’t because they have never seen anything like a huge Victorian ship from that age so they couldn’t imagine it, in addition they didn’t except anything like that.

I saw a film on Discovery channel a few days back about ancient Egypt. Those guys were one of the 1^st civilization of men-kind. The film pointed out some interesting facts. (lets not consider any alien interaction or any myths about the way the pyramids were built.)

There was a nation living in almost dessert, having only 1 river. They raised up by building pyramids, and by crating the society which is be able to build up pyramids.

They gave us one of the earliest good examples, they left behind a legacy for thousands of years. A Nation that built its legacy.

After this people just went for war as legacy.

Anyway I think we really have to look around for examples about this topic. Look for the invisible things. Look for the impossible things. Look for things we want even if they do not exist (or do they?).

Got my point? :)

Well, it’s a bit “darkish” but I feel like pasting it here:

I can see what you see not

Vision milky then eyes rot

When you turn they will be gone

Whispering their hidden song.

Then you see what cannot be

Shadows move where light should be

Out of darkness, out of mind

Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.

Be good!
