Posted by diyouth on 3/9/2003, 4:11 pm Checking prospectives...the starting of freeing up INI mind from mental slavery. The reasons why we think of or bring to light certain things and living them. check it: observe how we view strength...in reality strength is present without menchioning...but why people menchion it? eg. Someone can say that I am strong cause I can lift 100 pounds. But at the same time someone can say that I am weak coz I can't lift up 101 pounds...so what am I, strong or weak?...especialy when there will always be something u can and can't lift... The very consideration if I am strong or weak comes from the fear their of...coz the more u hold on to the wants of being strong the more u acknowledge that ur not strong enough...therefore u never realy get strong...but put urself in another position to want strength again...and it becomes a cycle and keeps us more in our mental slavery...naturaly ...and this goes for just about evrything...even the Love of JAH...someone can say JAH don't love u because Jah make u suffer and feel pain...yet at the sametime someone can say JAH love u coz JAH is puting u through tests and trials to make u strong. Now within our societies alot of us want to be known as being smart, strong, respectable, trust worthy, etc...but given what I said earlier, why hold on to the want of being known for strength when someone can always say and find reason that u are weak...why hold on to the want of being known for wisdom when someone can always find reason and say that u are a fool. For this is what we fight for in this world. we fight to be known as being powerful, intelligent, beatiful, etc. when we see that it is possible for us to be known differently then we get fustrated...and the fact that it is always possible for us to be known differently gives reason to the ongoing fustration that leads to fuss and war amonst ourselves...as nations, as communities, as individuals... But lets think a step ahead. Say a person gets what they want...say evryone knows that person to be smart, discipline, strong, etc...what next would that person have left to do. Now that evryone knows that person to be good, the prospective of makeing people know who u are is dead. Now the only thing that person have left to do, is either kill him/herself, or enjoy the good that he/she is known for. Enjoy the smartness that he/she is known for. This leads me to a different prospective of life that sez Life is about enjoying who u are. If u want to be known as being strong, then that means u have strength...else what would u have want made known?...so enjoy the strength...enjoy ur intelligence instead of trying to make people know u for it. a personal experience of this happened when me and my father went to a bank machine to deposit $200.00...However when I typed in the amount I typed in 20.0 which is $20...I didn't realize that I had to type in four zeros instead of two for the amount of $200...I realized my mistake when I looked at the reciept knowing that $200 is in the envelope and I typed in $20. I was mad at myself considering that my father would think I'm irresponsible or a fool for makeing that mistake...however he proposed an idea to make another deposit for $180 with an empty envelope...I smiled and I said to myself why didn't I think of that...then I realized that it was because I was wasting thoughts thinking on how my father would look on me, instead of living my intelligence and think of a way how to resolve the problem. So this is real to me...natural Prospectives...it can lead us to better decisions in life, that give us better results. Call I impatient but I can't wait on people to know who I am, so I'm going to start living who I am from now, coz thats where the road of wanting leads to anyways...naturaly This is not to discourage anyone from wanting to do things or attain things in this world or throughout the earth...its about realizeing that negativity has nothing to do with you, so have nothing to do with it...and enjoy the attributes u know u have now..(thats what we are already doing)...naturaly prospectives...can be another way to live and pursue ur goals more efficiently and unceasingly. When my prospective is to live who I am, then I have no reasons but good...to speak, to think, to do...thus INI nah fear nor be hesitant fi BUN OUT FOLLY... diyouth guidance
Haile...
This prospective of life is saying that life is about makeing people know who u are. For it is only in this prospective can people disrespect each other...if one calls the other fool then the other gets vex coz he/she is being label with a label that he/she does not want to be known as. Then the disrespect esculate to violence. With that given, only from that prospective can hate, grudge, spite, depression, slavement, and many more, exist....
When the prospective is about living who u are instead of about makeing people know who u are, then no one can realy disrespect anyone...u call me a fool, instead of getting mad I will live my intelligence and ask you "how can I be wise"...and if its anger u have towards me what I said will bring down ur temper. Even so if INI live who I is, I would have no reason to call anyone a fool...coz we would know that all of us is living who we are instead of what people say we are.
