Why so serious?

 
Nothing in life has a meaning deeper than the meaning you give it.
You first think you are "somebody", you build yourself an ego, a role to play. At a certain point in life (usually when you`re young) it actually makes sense. You are this or the other. You are a doctor or a student, a good person or a sinner, or a scientist, or somebody who is insecure. There`s billions of people and just as many egos. And you go on playing your part feeling happy and feeling sad at times.

When somebody reiterates your ego, you call him friend. When somebody makes you feel insecure, you call him enemy. But the same person can become your best friend a moment later for simply starting to feed into your ego. And right after that, an enemy again for he did something to offend you. The truth is, they are all the same. The one who applies labels is you. It`s not their deeds that made you choose. It`s your own projections and your own mind(less) programming that brought you in this situation in the first place. And nothing will change until you remove the veil off your self created illusions.

A while back I saw a movie, don`t remember all the details but it was about quantum physics. They say humans are bombarded every second with 14 million bits of information. From that huge quantity, with our 5 senses, we only bring in a few thousands. And even then, all that information is being filtrated by our expectations, our prejudice and our mind barriers. In conclusion, we are blind and deaf to what life really is. We acknowledge less than 1% of what happens around us. What we see is nothing but a dream... our own imagination.

We don`t see life as it is, we only see what we want to see. When you know this, life suddenly becomes unlimited. You see the unbounded potential in each and every situation. You stop making excuses and you go out living.

How can you say that X is your friend, and Y is your enemy when there is absolutely no certainty whatsoever. How can you ever be sad again when you know that sadness is nothing but a state of mind? Your mind. How can you be frustrated or angry with life and situations when you know it`s of your own making.

How can you be angry at a dream when you can simply wake up?

Well, tonight all my friends are my enemies and all my enemies are my friends. Enjoy the game.
