Master juggler
Sometimes, life seems like a series of Acts
in a long drama. Nothing makes sense and yet, everything is valid. Only because
all the illusion is meant to help us to discover the permanence of our souls which already exists
but is not apparent to the limited brain of a human being. Even God loves to
play games like hide and seek.
HE is the master juggler, juggling the
whole world and each one of us. And instead of joining the game, we take
everything seriously.
If we were to stop for a minute and watch
this unfolding drama, we would live very differently instead of getting swept
away by this grand illusion while HE sits back and has the last laugh.

Environments
Extortion, extracting the proverbial pound of flesh is the norm today. The extremely flimsy and transient “fame” comes with a huge price tag. It is for all to see.
The system is so decadent that
no one does anything for nothing. Everyone wants to control everyone AND their
environments and the higher the range of fame, the higher the price. If you do
anything out of a mere goodness of heart, you are declared a fool. In fact, you
don’t belong to this world.
Why is it necessary to be
obsessed about people recognizing you wherever you go? Except furthering your
ego each minute, what does it do? And look at the tags attached: Loss of
privacy, jealousy and hatred, security issues, and so much more. Is it worth it?
Ultimately, even the rich and
famous are human beings. In their position, it’s a rat race. To stay on top of
the ladder is the name of the game. And stress levels are unbelievable! No
wonder then that the extra energy comes from other artificial addictions
because moral strength is certainly not visible here as a source of that extra
energy.
Actually, and unfortunately,
all the anchors have been lifted from us. The biggest minus because we are now
like rudderless ships, running amuck on the sea of life, getting swept by
lashing waves wherever they take us. No control over ourselves.
