we hate and get pissed at "they or the world because of how "tired" we think they make us, or we actually allow them to make us. The illusion we created over the years. it grows on us. There is no "objective" world. there is no absolute world. No, we don't all live in the same world. We are our thoughts. That is where the world is defined. That's what brings it into existence. As long as we're alive, we have a choice how to define it. We have the power to control what matters, and what does not matter.

The world can be a beautiful place if we allow it to be. Sometimes I believe I don't allow myself to be happy. I fear being happy because it's "different". It's settling for less, just because this is how it is - just like how the abused settle to serve their sentences of living a life in fear. Its a spell cast upon them, and it takes a hard smack on the head to wake up.

There was a scene from the film "Adaptation", the main character played by Nicolas Cage, a depressed and anixety suffering writer, was in a writing workshop. He asked the speaker, who was a successful writer, something like, "how do we move the story if in reality, nothing much really happens in life... Life is a cold dark place, etc, etc...". The speaker was enraged and came back with something like, "What the $&#^% are you talking about!? What do you mean nothing happens? So much happens every second of every day in any given place in the world! You're such an idiot! Sheesh" or something like that.

...

When I don't remember to remind myself... I get lost, living in "THEIR" world, not mine. Living as a victim.
It all starts from the mind and in our thoughts.

The next time we feel that way, let's ask, "Why am I not living my life, and why am I not in the beautiful world that is?"
