NEW YEAR OLD DREAMS

We wish on the same dreams ever year, expecting that this time is our year. What we don't ask ourselves because of our fears that resides in the question is what is the true reason why we aren't getting what we expect out of life. Are we doing all that is humanly possible to attain what doesn't seem to be attainable. Is there a way that we can modify ourselves to get rid of our bad luck without compromising our values. Or is it just easier to blame the world for our chosen life-style.

PAST MEETS PRESENT TRUTHS

Technology has helped advance us in leaps and bounds but how advanced are we as a society, if we are still plagued by the same problems that we were dealing with since our civilisation transgressed. Poverty has always been and will always be part of our lives because what motivates us in life has  changed from a humble desire to a society that is enriched mainly by money and power, greed then follows leaving no room for compassion.Our class matrix groups people and limits their ability to affect how they impact the world by creating a hierarchy that divides their will distracting them from what should be society's main goal, to help those that a less fortunate then themselves. Stripped of our possessions we all become a lot more alike only separated by the core beliefs which drives us forward, closer to reach our goals. Until we evolve our thinking and share our privileges by abolishing levels of class we will never get rid of poverty in our society.

COMMON SENSE ISN'T SO COMMON

Common sense seems to be a rarity for people to apply to real life situations. It seems to be difficult to use street smarts before making a decision to ask a question that most lateral thinkers filter through to get to a  what is considered a normal question. Are we so programed to ignore the obvious hints that smack us in the face, or are most of the questions asked rhetorical question that strangely are still expected a respectful answer, even though the answer still doesn't seem to justify the question. The answer seems to add significance to what really should not be emphasised.

NO TIME FOR XMAS TIME

Christmas time reminds us that it doesn't matter how hard the year has been for us, it's the time we spend together that's important. Where families take photos with Santa to remind them of the good that represents Christmas time. When is the line crossed between what we do for our family and what we do for ourselves, where forcing our kids to overcome their fear of the man with the white beard. Trying to convince ourselves to paint on a smile during a photo at a time where we feel we have nothing  to smile about because of the pressures that are forced upon us. Our true feelings fighting against showing patience when we are at our wits end with our families and friends during the busy Christmas shopping times and rushed events that lead us to Christmas day. Isn't our time as a family better represented as showing our true feelings on how we felt at the time we took the photo, something that will stick to our memories because of the raw emotion showed in the photograph. Our personalities that stand out and separate us from any other smiling photograph.

LONELINESS IN A CROWD

Trains are full of people having a lot to say but keeping conversation  to themselves their thoughts camouflaged by the crowd. Only few people try to communicate with the passengers in their sight, usually are confronted by a weird look and then a question DO I KNOW YOU?. The bigger our society gets, the more we feel less connected to the people that surround us. Diversity grows leaving us with more choices which leads us to  more confusion, are we able to choose what we want or does it conflict with what people expect of us.

MAJORITY RULES

Whether or not you have a talent you will not have any success unless you have a fan base. Those who try to strive in leaps and bounds are only restricted by the mass of supporters they command. Faith in their idols helps the privilaged thrive in a world judged by the majority. Unless you have the world on your side you are fighting an uphill battle that your sure to lose. Supporters will only back you if they believe in what you are pedalling , most fans will only support you if they feel you are the real deal to them someone they aspire to share similar qualities to. One of the few people in society they feel a connection to because of your ability to strip their raw emotion and reveal their true self.

HOLIDAY TIME AND GREEDY TIME

When your off from work and the distractions that normally take over your rational mind are at bay you are left with the ability to take control of your better judgement, because of the pressures of trying to earn a living are no longer clouding your centre focus. Holidays make you feel you have all the time in the world to experience all your desires, you don't normally have time for. Time doesn't seem to matter , days pass without consequence of minutes.Time to reflect builds your knowledge and refines your beliefs. Knowledge the only true tool you are able to give to your family and friends. When you pass away your knowledge is the only real piece of you that stays with the ones you've affected, all your possessions you've gathered cant come with you.Possessions can no longer give you any more satisfaction, so being greedy doesn't pay,but a pure heart will always be remembered as long as you are remembered.
