ponder

Who are we, that we question what is fair and what is not?

Who are we to make a mockery of the beginning, the present and the future, when we don't have a hand in any of these?

Who are we to say we are smart enough, that we don't need guidance, and we can truly do what we want, how we want, and anytime we want?


Freedom. Essentially, everyone wants to be free, everyone wants to be able to complete what they want to. No rules applied, no law, no punishments, no restrictions. TOTAL freedom.

My question is then this:
What happens then when the consequences to our freedom are horrible? Who do we then blame? Ourselves? Or do we ask God (in whom some don't believe in), why it is happening to us?

Scratch the itch.

Words someone shared with me, to which, the more I think about it, doesn't quite make sense. (Hehe, sorry to that person who shared it with me) Here's why:
How many times had we all had physical itches? Then, we scratch and scratch, to find some form of relief, but don't get it. We scratch some more, when we are not conscious, or even when we know it. Eventually the skin breaks down. For that temporary relief, we soon find pain ensuing. It bleeds, skin is no longer intact, a scab forms over, sometimes leaving a scar.
We soon question ourselves, why did we not stop scratching in the first place?

True freedom will not leave scars. Will not leave regrets, will not leave pain, hurt, anger, frustration, hate.

True freedom brings true freedom, not just for now, but everlasting. So, be careful in what you choose to believe, or choose to do, for the "freedom" now, may just be for now.
