Holiday Distorted

Holidays religious or cultural in it's background totally comercial nowadays. You don't think so? Is a way big companies make people buy things they don't need for no other reason than to make money. Sure it makes ”great family moments right?” Not really! If you need somebody to tell you to be together and share as a family because of some certain distorted historical event. Then my friends you have been brainwashed and manipulated to follow the system. Like cattle we wait in black friday to buy. Getting together has turn into what gifts did you get and how much food can we consume. Making you lose focus of life. Of living. Of discovering. How sad is it that the only reason we buy and do alot of the things we do is because of cultural manipulation from big industries. They want you to get into debt so you become their slave for life. They want to make you feel good about getting the new phone even if your old one functions just fine. Make you feel like holidays are the union of a family. Making people get together to consume excessive amounts of food and throw away lots of it. Is senseless!! Isn't interesting how there is still hunger and poverty in this world? When we get to do all this things? How about making a holiday out of life? Helping each other and enjoying the little time we spend in this Earth. Get your life in perspective!

War Distorted

”War what is it good for? Absolutely nothing!”Actually something. War a way of big industry make money,goverments make money and gain real estate and natural resources. Is all about money and power. Don't be fool to think for a minute is for freedom or to help. War has been romanticized all this years. Making love stories out of a evil and senseless action. Making war heroes of people that go in to other peoples country and kill them. How would  you feel if you where the one invaded? How about that?? How would you feel some guy comes through the door and shoots your family dead? Would you let it happen? Would you defend yourself? Of course you would is only natural! While people are being killed,getting sick from  biological weapons. The rich and powerful are in there room air conditioned with limitless food comfortable looking at there bank account increase. All the weapons,tools and clothing have a maker a company, they are making money out of our loved ones death and misery. Going to war is just a way of making money out of peoples death. Horrible and distorted war.

You don't own anything

You don't own anything. Don't agree? Think about it. When you die, do you still own it? Can somebody steal it? Can you lose it? Can it lose value? Yes, the answer is we don't own anything. We use thing for the time we are here. We stay with people until they decide to leave or die. We don't own people. Attachment to things are hopeless,is like trying to grasp water in our hands. So what solution is there? Let go of things, they have no value, only for you.What about people?! People have their time in our life and we don't decide when or why they have to go. Just like things don't get attach. Life is being in a constant state of transition. Change always happens. Acceptance and be present in your enjoyment of things and people. You never know when the next shift will happen.

Living Distorted

You encounter many people telling you i need a new car. I say you want a new car. I need is such a misused sentence. What do we really need to live? Not much really. We need food,air,house,sex, and clothing. Is pretty sad to see how people go into the ratrace trying to get more as if their life depended on it. They get stress and sick making paper money all their life. They don't take days off nor enjoy their family and friends company. When they are old or their body gives up, then they stop to look at what was always there. Now having less time to enjoy it. How did we get like this?? Media! They have distorted what living is and made it into a goal oriented living where if you don't get to thias certain levels you will be sad. All a lie! Look at things are you taking anything else from this life? Not really you are taking only what you experience make them a good experience. Love your life,enjoy what you have and be happy now.
Always enjoyed this story of the mexican fisherman, don't know who wrote it but it explains what I want you to understand.

The Story of the Mexican fisherman

”An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

The Mexican replied, "only a little while."

The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish?

The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.

The American then asked, "but what do you do with the rest of your time?"

The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late,fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life."

The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a biggerboat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise."

The Mexican fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"

To which the American replied, "15 - 20 years."

"But what then?" Asked the Mexican.

The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions!"

"Millions - then what?"

The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the villagein the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."

Who is your base?

Life is like a building. You need a steady foundation, a base to be able to stand. First is you and you thoughts. Second your family and friends, why family and friends cause friends are the family you choose.  And then there is that person or persons that give you support in your most vulnerable time. They are your base, so you don't brake down completely. Don't give up on your base, foundations are not clean that's why it makes them solid they are deep in the dirt. The people that are your base are not clean of all sin on the contrary they are full of flaws. You see them as they are no paint or manners plain all flawed human being. Who is your base? Why would you let it go? Reality is that there is bases that can make our life unstable and wobbly,that is the time to let go of them. Make your life a solid foundation full of love and commitment. Love cannot exist without commitment. Commitment is love, is unconditional love. Acceptance of the dirty of the flaws. We are here to support each other in the roadtrip that life is,you decide who stays in the bus with you and how long. Give the support you need to all that need it. We all have a roadmap but the problem is that the roads change everyday. Everyday we think we arrived to our destination, but reality is that life is a journey. It doesn't matter what road you take in life. Make it your road at the end we are all driving to the sameplace. In the end we are all base of all that we come in contact with.
