Prisons

The prison that is the most difficult to be released from is that of one’s own made. It imprisons one to such depths that one may forget how he or she had actually entered. Whilst passing the time with strong but silent shouts, one day and quite suddenly, one realizes that this dungeon was the created by one’s own walls…

 

All restrictions are self-made and all are for one’s own self. 

There, one can neither manage to leave nor can one allow others in.

The worst part is chasing all those who wish to love one, and keeping all those outside whom one loves… 

Desperation arrives just at that moment, the moment when one realizes that this is a a system and not a vacation.

People have their own lies within their own prisons. 

One does not make unclear apologies or create defenses for one’s self; one has already made clear explanations within one’s heart. 

Epitome: destiny… 

Destiny is the only salvation through one’s imprisonment. 

IF THEY ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF THIS DEFEAT, THE PRICE IS NOT A PUNISHMENT BUT THE “FATE”.

However, in one’s life journey, there are no simple processes which may be simplified as destiny. The “learned helplessness” of devastating defeats may not be simplified as coincidences…

When all is processing with perfect harmony with each other in a flow, one single stone does fall on one’s path and turns upside down all the balances that one had created meticulously.

One is not forced to start a new life with every stone that one stumbles on…

 

“TO RISE WITH THE LARK”

To get up early is so beautiful when it is not an obligation…

To rise early not out of necessity, but as a habit, and accepting this as the most important start of life, to give shape to the days accordingly…

If one loves to start a day,

One will feel the beauty of being alive unexceptionally and trustingly…

Human beings are actually encoded in an archaic system from those days when one left his cave with the sun rise. This coding is still active. More importantly, for all those people who complian for not having enough time to accomplish things, to rise early is the definitive solution. “Early” meaning TO RISE WITH THE LARK.

Nothing is more “human” than coming into action with the first rays of the sun.

One feels the state of belonging to the nature and grasps this belonging so clearly!

I advise all those people who falsely think themselves incapable of waking up in a vigorous state, that they should readjust their movements to the “sundial”. This means returning home when the sun is setting, sleeping accompanied by the stars and becoming aware of the quilt not as a warm escapade but as a heavy cover…

Although the present habit has become to start the day with an alarm clock, leaving this imprisonment, this authority of time over us, and returning to the archaic rhythm of cohabitation of humans with nature is my dream. Just like what I am experiencing lately…

Because human beings have been taught to memorize everything within structures, I feel that these structures have become our own burdens.

When the alarm rings and its awful sound disturb one’s peace, the meaning of waking up to a new beginning is changed.

I propose that we should not be at peace with the alarm clock, set it right and wake up under its command.

I suggest and I offer the sunny radiance of not having a clock.  If not on the first morning, surely on the next days, waking with the rhythm of the nature without any alarm clock buzzing its way through the ears and into the brain will be welcome by your inner self; it will become a new pleasure in your life, rebelling against the resistant and tough fixity of imprisonment that life has forced you and enjoying a flexibility, a freedom however tiny it may seem at first!

SHARE HAPPINESS AND LOVE THAT YOU HAVE INSIDE

No matter how far away we fall from our dreams,

God gives us another day with a full brightening landscape for our souls, just to make sure that we are going to try again.

..and again..and again…

There will be no limit to try for our goals in order to find our happiness.

We are the only creatures knowing the meaning of it. We are the ones who can describe it even with the many different vocabulary but still using happiness as a life adaptor.

Happiness is a connection between a soul and the life of its. It’s something more necessary than other cliches.

Because we all know that ‘staying alive’ will not be enough to ‘feel alive’.

Many people coming from many different backgrounds; wll still defend their own happy moments in ordar to describe how they feel in a new stituation whilw meeting each other.

It can look like a pschological experiment but it is true that when you are unconfortable in a position; you will automaticly remember your happy memories to survive there.

Even that coffe in the morning or your breakfast with your family will be rapidly becoming your last precious moments in your life with no background stiories that you had too tho.

In any moment that you feel unconfortable within, your brain will collobarate in the same path remindering you how happy you were before.

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging fromcontentment to intense joy.

A variety ofbiological, psychological,religious and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.

Various research groups, including positive psychology,

endeavor to apply the scientific method to answer questions about what “happiness” is, and how it might be attained.

Philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing,

rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this sense was used to translate the Greek Eudaimonia,

and is still used in virtue ethics.

Happiness economics suggests that measures of public happiness

should be used to supplement more traditional economic measures when evaluating the success of public policy.

Even though there are many scientific explanations about happiness itself;

we should be just aware of its being a God-given gift,

and it is also about appreciating ‘good’ moments that we have in your lives…

We have so much love we have in our souls. We need to share it as much as we can too.

Remember when you step by a street worker, saying him just a little ‘Hi!…

You would be able to see him happier then that one minute ago.

This is simply ‘HAPPINESS’…

WHICH I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST LOVE AFFAIRS AND SUCH.

I’M TALKIN ABOUT LOVING YOUR “CO-LIVER”, THAT YOU DONT EVEN KNOW MANY OF THEM PERSONALLY…

I’M TALKIN ABOUT SHARING HAPPINESS WITHOUT WAITING A BAD TIME COMES TO MAKE YOU REMEMBER HOW HAPPY YOU WERE BEFORE…

TODAY CAN BE THAT DAY YOU REALIZE AND YOU FEEL HOW HAPPY YOU ARE;

AND HOW MUCH HAPPINES YOU HAVE INSIDE

AND YOU ARE ABLE TO SHARE WITH ALL PEOPLE AROUND.

Just like an angel comes and shows…

Bacuse we all know that motivation makes life easier;

Motivations direct and energize behavior, while emotions provide the affective component to motivation, positive or negative.

In the early 1970s, Paul Ekman and colleagues began a line of research that suggests that many emotions are universal.

He found evidence that humans share at least five basic emotions: fear, sadness, HAPPINESS, anger, and disgust.

Social emotions evidently evolved to motivate social behaviors that were adaptive in the EEA.

For example, spite seems to work against the individual but it can establish an individual’s reputation as someone to be feared.

Shame and pride can motivate behaviors that help one maintain one’s standing in a community, and self-esteem is one’s estimate of one’s status.

Past vs Future

I danced with the devil under the moonlight
always telling myself temporary hopes like
no passion gonna steal my childish path
no dream gonna be lost in my each step

i slept with my angels everynight
arguing how my life gonna be like
choosing planning each new target
never givin up on my soul and my heart

now years passed and ages became harder
no suprises comin or happily after
fairytales stopped where my ignorance lost
but now reality seems a little bit softer

how was the future in the eyes of yesterday
is this the way gonna be every coming day
same mirror but different payback anyway
memories becoming like dark and long subway

once you skip that moment of forgiveness
all the past restarts its fight against hopes and wishes
blaming ownself for those losts and ashes
surrounding the thougher inner jugdements

for those defending carpe diem
could you ever taste the present as much as it costs
or could you really eliminate the past from your thoughts
because, i couldnt find any explanation without continuous

but still i wish to scream my philosophy pretending living daily
and still i can fight against my rarely manipulated destiny!

Freedom

How can we define ‘freedom’ ?

Each of us is born in a different socio-economic status and in a different social network… Each society defines its unique borders and significances which are related to their history and belief systems.

We are forced to adapt and to choice our positions and roles in our society.

There are many rules and regulations to maintain our societies continuity.

We are shaped by even custom and usage. We have different traditions… We should live conventionally…
Even in sense of family, we are committed to our family members and to our ancestors.

We have an order which keeps us respectful…

And there is an issue called ‘money’… Which creates modern ‘economical’ slavery.

If we decide to rise up and if we choose to not go to work each day on time, our “owners” will fire us and replace us just in a minute. To be fired will not make us free, but we will be broke instead. We have banks just as our ‘Big Brothers’ who are ‘watching’ us. Debts, credits, our signitures will be against us the day after…

We have governments which decide for us. Decisions are in many sense, like how much money we should spend each mounth to LIVE. Gas, water, electricity…

We can not just go to a forest and start to our new life. We need permissions and payments to stay there… And remember, if you are born in a city and especially if you lived there in your whole life, probably you won’t have the capacity and talent to survive in nature just by your own tho…

We all have different addictions too… These addictions can be illegal but also can be too legal like coffee! Most common addictions are internet, cell phone, car, money, house or even shoes (for women)…

Story begins with our birthdays;

we can not choose our name, religion or future until we become acceptable by our society with the age of maturity. Even then, many of us can not change their religion and gender; or even if they can change it they just won’t be accepted by their own society. Changing names and surnames will not delete their past or families.  The ideas about their own dreams and goals may always cause fights among their family members. Most of our education is decided by our parents. Sometimes we are forced to work in our family companies too.

But we still believe that we are free.. (?)

Actually, YES.

Because we are free to reacreate our lives. If we can leave our possessions and addictions, we can think more clearly and we can start to a new life.

Do not think about others thoughts for you.

Do not overvalue what you buy or you want to buy.

Do not underestimate the power of your innerself.

Do not waste your time on your past.

If you can see that happiness doesn’t come with the money, you can be able to be happy with your job. Choose your dream job according to your talents or to your definitions on being peaceful. Because I believe that if a person does his/her best, earning money will be much more easier… Happy at work means happy at home too…

Choose what you need instead of what you want…

Stop wasting money on unnecessary shopping. This can make you free in an economical point of view.  Remember that all those advertisements, magazines and such are the weapons of modern slavery. They are not for you or for your happines. Their aim is just to catch you and to own you. Their bottom line is to make happy their company owners and so on. You are just a ‘pawn’… If you do not have money, you will be easily eliminated by the system and you will forced to face with the banks.

YOU ARE PRECIOUS AND IMPORTANT. YOU ARE UNIQUE. CARE FOR YOURSELF IN ANY MEANING THAT RINGS A BELL.

SPEND YOUR TIME ON YOUR IMPROVEMENT. AND FIGHT AGAINST YOUR BORDERS AND BURDENS.

I DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT INGORING YOUR SOCIETY.

BUT I SUGGEST YOU TO REALIZE AND ANALYZE WHICH POSITION YOU ARE IN. aND IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY THERE,

CHANGE IT…
