Seeing past oblivion

We begin to build our lives when we are a child. We say we are grown up when we have seen the bad deed, the benefiting over others, when we learn "who are our friends". Having learned of the bad, we can beneficially interact with the world, not letting others take us anywhere where we don't want to go. We learn to separate between intelligence, naivety and stupidity amongst others, we build patterns on phenomena. And it all makes sense. Still the world is full of wonders for us to explore, and we can enrich our lives by studying them like others have done, generation after generation, from the beginning of times.

Building our world, we are forced to set barriers, to group others and ourselves, and we unintentionally restrict our world for our everyday life to be successful; how could we perform quick enough to compete with others and to stay safe if there was no simple, quick-to-follow logic in our world, our work life, our everyday environment?

Due to these simple facts of life, our grown-up world is living in an oblivion of many false truths, us being pawns in games of statistics and consumerism. What we have forgot is our childhood of trust, the times when we did not need to be wary of anything, the times when other people took care of us. We have forgotten what it is like to be a human being, we ask what is true happiness, and we don't know how to reach our roots again.

The roots of humanity lie in our childhood, and if we want to be there again, we need children. Raising our children, interacting with the children of others, we can mirror ourselves of today to the memories of our own childhood and to our changing points, letting us ask once more, "why did I change, why did it go like that?" In the end, we will see that everything had to go like it did; in the world of the past there was no other way to act; we were who we were, and the environment left no options. Sometimes we did wrong. Whenever we did harm another person, another being, we will feel forgiveness in regret and balancing deed.

We are all human beings of err and fell. Having done only what felt right at the very moment of our action, we still are capable of improvement. We are all capable of understanding, of forgiveness, of regret, in our very own world that no one sees except our God; even though we are all of the same root, our plant is our own, and there is not and will not be another like it on earth, now or forever.

It is said that the most powerful gatekeeper of oblivion is distrust in change. The net of the mist is complex; it covers all our life, and most importantly, also other beings. We easily turn any change back due to a barrier in the mist that we believe will exist in the other side as well. We do not see our neighbor, we do not believe in another being, we are unable to see like another person might see. But the more we try and the more we give of ourselves, the more we will see happen in our very environment, and this will give us the strength to go on. It is no forcing; it is a change from death to eternal life in within, and it includes a complete transformation in ourselves, in our soul, our heart, our mind. This transformation demands our free will truly behind it, and it will shine to our surroundings giving birth for hope around us. We will see everything in our world reborn over and over again, towards a new world, with a clear sky of our global future shining to our deed from our environment and beyond.
