"Who We Really Are" originated on facts, not stories; it is about the strangeness of life and all we encounter in our passage through it. Who we are; when looking deep, is a difficult question to answer! Do we actually know that person we see in the mirror? While observing ourselves closely, do we like what we see? Are we familiar with our reflection? Do we recognize our needs? Are they reasonable? What do we seek? Is it worthy? Alternatively, maybe it is just suitable!
Would we recognize joy if lacking the feeling of sadness? Could we really cherish the warmth from a loved one if we never walked the path of loneliness? Is it possible to cherish relaxation when avoiding pressure? How can someone value free will while ungratefully wasting his gift of life?
Some of these questions we try to ignore, because at any given time, we do not have the answers, and if we do, we do not like them, so we continue with our life, living it in denial. In actuality, instead of observing ourselves, we are concerned about our image, and most of the time we are comparing our self with others. We recognize true value only when we have lost it. While suffering from our losses, we neglect all that still surrounds us. That is when ignorance takes over, and unconsciously we lose our righteousness.
At that point, we engage in a quest to escape from reality. When we are successful, we slow and painfully lose our faith. But then again, in all our deeds, it is our nature to search for the easiest way through life; struggle is not an option. Consequently, upon encountering difficulties, we experience disappointment and stress. We fail to recognize that difficulties are necessary to achieve comfort.
Feelings, bad or good, are our best gifts ever, so treasure them, and smile more often, because regrettable mistakes we formulate with a serious look on our face.
