Flanders Fields

If we thought seriously about the importance of time, we would not waste it, ever. We are so used to "living" that we take it for granted. But it is not to be taken for granted. We don't know how much time we have are left with to fulfil our responsibilities, to carry out our dreams, to improve ourselves, to be happy, to express our love..gratitude....  It seems that many other things often get in the way and prevent us from doing what we know we should be doing. This is the problem. We are so used to having time that we don't realize that it passes quickly, that it won't come back, that wasting it is a serious mistake…towards ourselves and the ones we love… A sudden ‘feeling’ has erupted? Is there a right time to express it?? Does it have any value if we don't show it? How meaningful is a "good" feeling if it is not made manifest? Could there be a way to make things better? Now??

Once we realize that there is nothing that we can do about it, the next step will be teaching yourself to eliminate the emotional stress. All said than done?? Yes, but it can be done?? How?? Engage in self-talk (self-conditioning/brainwashing/re-programming/re-calibrating). It's certainly worth an effort. Once we have gained a good amount of detachment from the ‘situation’, we will realize that the pain has decreased. However, you are still thinking about it and experiencing a lack of control over it. Therefore, the final step is to ‘Stop thinking’ about it?? How?? Distractors…attention diverters…activate those stimulators.…do so...

When we look back, we encounter some moments of worthlessness, a certain period of ‘emptiness’. Nothing ‘good’ was happening in our lives. It would seem as if we were negotiating the challenges that were thrown at us at every stage one after the, and in front of which we were just powerless. We were just enacting to maintain a symbiotic relationship with others and the environment we were in. If we retrospect and reflect upon our actions, we may realise that, in those times, we unconsciously believed that our purpose was only to ‘give’, and not to ‘receive’. Isn’t it possible that we felt unworthy of a greater good? Underserving?? Didn’t we put others always ahead of ourselves? And, interestingly didn’t we find that it was ‘fair’ to do so?? We must have had the freedom to choose, but there would have been situations where the choices we made were 'led'. There could have been a mysterious unknown factor, which must have created an unavoidable feeling in our deep selves that ...
