Looking pass the facades
Sunday, March 14, 2010

Aww, I got a random inspiration just at the time I wanted to go sleep, but kinda thought it would be such a waste to let such inspirations go. Will make it short though, I hope =)

I think being blind has its benefits. Blind people despite losing their sight, gain something in return in which no man with normal sight will probably attain. What they lose is the aesthetic sight and in return, their eyes are opened to the true insight of human nature, one that is unseen by the normal human eye.

Because what they see in a someone, is not based on the aesthetic appearance, how nice, how tall or attractive he/she is, but they see past the outward appearance to peer in to the inner places. Your inner courts. They see past all the facades and fake smiles that go along with the so called "fine" everyone claims to be. They see what your character is like, through the tone of your speech and definitely, with their enhanced acute sense of hearing and reading of tones, there's barely much of a way your true feelings can be concealed.

Yet they also see the heart of someone. Their character, values, moral behaviour and everything that lies beyond the skin of our faces, they recognize kindness and caring hearts when they meet one. I dunno if it's wrong for me to assume this way, but I would suppose blind people do find better life partners. To know and fall in love with someone of intrinsic beauty rather than of extrinsic, cause our bodies are only subjects of nature and fall away as dust, but the inner thoughts of the mind barely changes.

Well, haha, I think basically, I would love to be blind to this world, blind to the aesthetic appearances and facades that so readily stirs up bias treatment, or to fool others. I wanna look into the lives of people, and be able to see into their hearts, all the hurts, all the pain. To be able to look past the lies, and facades of the world, I believe there are many hurting people.

Oh and to sidetrack. The world calls for perfection. One shouldn't be all depressed and problematic. Expected to be full of smile, at your best without issues. The result? A world of lies, where everyone is wearing a mask. A facade that hides their issues, their problems, their pain. Some even to the point where they lie to themselves, suppressing their pain and needs, so as to not feel the hurt of knowing, yet being helpless to do anything about it.

But you know what? it's ok to feel lousy, it's ok to feel disheartened, depressed. It's ok to feel that you have needs, to be loved, to be cared for. We're all human, cursed with imperfection and a great tendency to make mistakes. We all face hurts, and needs and wants and stuff, don't keep them in, don't conform to the world's expectations. Because you'll only be reaffirming the wide belief norm that it's needed to appear as that you are "ok" and everybody's fine as well. Break the trend, break that damn trend that tells you to live in lies. Everyone has a right to be broken, feel broken, and appear broken.

Maybe there's too little love out there. Nobody's there to care for the hurts people reveal. I call out to those of good heart condition, stop living in your own comfort zone, take a look out there. There are many people with their hearts within crying out for help. Go out, go out and love. Love isn't meant for keeping, for love does no good until you give it away, where it'll touch lives, heal the broken, fill the depths of emptiness in hearts, restore relationships.

And for you hurting peeps, don't keep to yourself either. Reveal to others, but of course reveal wisely. Don't go baring your hearts totally to someone that's either in the same emotional shaky boat or someone who eh, sadly really doesn't care at all, you'll only get yourself scars for opening. Oh yea, spread the love too. Share your experiences and area where you've overcome. you hurting doesn't mean you are relieved from your duty of helping and supporting another soul.

I think if we can all cultivate a culture of loving, caring and sharing, this world would be so much more beautiful. And seriously, don't wait for someone to take the first step. You be in charge, you take hold of the responsibility you will and can make. Don't look for returns. Do it with an unconditional heart. For the optimistic people, look towards the light of helping someone. For the Christians, heh, look to God, that's everything you'll ever need. For the people with a heart, don't wait. Do it now. For those with pessimistic outlooks, er... look out for those coming to help you.

If your heart feels a tingling after reading this, please oh please make an action, take a step, DO SOMETHING, praise someone, thank someone, say your sorries, tell someone how much you love them, how precious they are, just be out there to change the world, one heart at a time.

Im gonna try. And I've got God with me ;)
