White or
black?
There so much more beautiful colors in between.
Why? When
there is colors that are so much more beautiful...
Today I am
using this time to wish you all blessed and inspired 2019. I am sorry that I did
not write more in last year. This is one of those New Year resolutions that I
am going to keep in 2019. 💪
I was
thinking much in last times about why are majority of people so fixed in their
opinions and values in life? Why people
always have a need to be right in something or to know everything? Why people
so to say put themselves on “one side” and “defend” that side no matter of what,
even if they see and know they are wrong. Even if that this “side” do not give
them the answers on their question? What is that in our minds, that is making
us so sure one “way” is correct and right and other not? This we see in politic
and religion, especially.
It is like
people must find their answers, values or opinion in one direction
(religion/politic) no matter of what. Questions cannot stay not answered or
they cannot be answered different as we expect. They just simply cannot see
that many times there is no answer on black or white (right/left) Horizon.
If we look
deeper in one political or religious topic we will see that is so complex that
it is more likely to be answered with some other “color”. People just cannot
accept that is not possible to know everything. Even if you are Christian or Muslim,
you do not know everything about Koran or Bible. Do you know every scripture?
Do you understand every metaphor? Was you born when Jesus or Mohamed walk on
the world? Was you there when Bible was written? If you believe that your Pastor
or Imam can answer you all questions isn`t he then God (Because only God know
everything). Can you explain with your real words what time real is? Do you understand
it? Do you know how to explain infinity +/-? Do you understand it? Do you even
know and understand how we get picture on Tv, or internet connection? Can you
see like hawk or hear like a cat? Do you speak all languages of the world? Can
you jump from 100 m high and not break anything?
If we look
deeper (I could write a book one day😉) we could see that there is many reasons
why people are not able to admit they do not know everything or why they do not
see another way of color. People need to belong to specific group is
one of strongest needs of any individual. We all all longing to belong to
somebody no matter of what. It is definitely environment we grown in
(family, school and society) that is defining us in person we are. We learn how
to behave from them but how to think and in what to believe too. Experience
that we collect during life… Pleasant or not pleasant experiences. Many people
and I mean “MANY” of them are manipulated from Medias and social engagement (this
topic I would love to make deeper one time too💪).
There is many reasons for why
some people stick bay their opinions and values all life, but at my opinion on
reason is in front of them all…Not
willing to change! And
not will to change is coming most of all not from being stubborn or not
flexible. Believe or not it is coming from
fear. We are scared from unknown or new.
Paul Gauguin one time said;
Color! What a deep and mysterious
language, the language of dreams.
What if you
would live all your life thinking that in your garden is a beautiful olive
tree? One day I can make a nice olive oil from that you say to yourself. However, one day on end of your life you finally got
no there is not an olive tree in my garden because I am living in Alaska. It is
pine tree! How you would feel? Stupid? Betrayed? Shocked? Scared (how could I
think that way?) Would you not wish that you just did not find out the true and
that you still believe it is just an Olive Three? Of course, this example is
very absurd and in principle not important for normal life of human been. But
what if this would be something like I believe all my life my man is good man
but maybe he is cheating me, or he is good man but he slept me few times? What would most women do
in this situation? My man is a good man and I deserved this few hits and that he cheat me. Or he was
just mad… They would rather pretend everything is ok. They would continue living
in lie because on that way they do not need to change anything. They do not be scared
to come out in unknown. And now take in consideration that everybody told you
all your life that believing this way is the right way? You will be blessed and happy this way (maybe you are or not).God would punish you if
you do not listen. You will lose family or friends. And the most important
there is not anywhere profess that other ways is better one. What you would do?
Your brain is functioning so to just continue believing the same and protect
itself from damage (or better to say; Changes). Change is taking too much effort and courage
so for brain it is easier to believe in lie. It is much more easier to just
say I know this for fact because my priest or my mum said that and not even
allow yourself to think different…Then there is no doubt, no fear and no need
to change…
Maybe there is not right or wrong way. Maybe there is just your way. Another color between white and black.
