Her eyes carried a certain kind of silence that begged to be understood and i felt as if i was a scientist, staring with eager, feverant eyes into galaxies that have not yet had the chance to be named.

THE AWFUL EVOLUTION

When discussing spirituality and taking the mind further, many people believe that an evolution of the mind is important. To take your senses and thought process into places that are much more enhanced than how we normally view life. I also hold this view, especially in the sense where the natural positive human emotions we possess (love, being caring, being selfless, helping others e.t.c) should be multiplied.

My next realisation may sound like the thoughts of a pessimistic person but that is far from the truth, it is an egregious observation that I have made. Another evolution of the mind has washed over society, mostly over younger generations. People seem to be suppressing the emotions that one should treasure and are shown to be illustrious for harbouring negative traits.

Love is naturally sought out by humans. It is within us to crave a love in the form of friendships, family, relationships- in every sense. To hold a lot of love within your self is something that a person should be proud of, to show it to every person you cross paths with. In this society, that isn’t the case. Terms such as ‘heartless’ and ‘fuck love’ are glamourised, to show no love. I will say that there are many people who long to get to this stage because of previous painful experiences, however to so many it comes with ease. Friendships aren’t valued, best friends while its fun or if you’re gaining something, enemies the next week. Casual sex/one night stands occur more than long lasting genuine relationships. Love and affection has been replaced with lust and insuring that yourself and everyone around you has the right image.

The simplest thing that we should see daily: smiles, is even a rarity. It is something that we should see from people we pass many times just in a day, whereas now, a smile will be greeted by a shocked reaction or suspicion. Everyday you will come across hundreds of different people, but sadly all the same faces. Miserable, depressed but mostly angry. Dirty looks are the most exchanged facial expressions.

Nights out- what should be the most sociable opportunities- have been invaded with the familiar glow of iPhones, every one staying in the same groups they arrived with. Jealousy is all to familiar within female friendships, men disrespecting women for the fun of it, there is no encouragement of creativity.

People are all too content to constantly walk around and live their lives with so much hate in their heart, I would personally much prefer to have constant love flowing from me- hopefully touching every person that I come across.

The scary thing is not that these feelings and actions exist and take place, they always will within some truly close minded negative people. The scary thing is that all of this has now become natural and is within the majority. It is not hard to reach this stage of being ‘heartless’ which is so un natural. It is promoted in the God awful music that most young people listen to, in the ridiculous television programmes and generally all throughout the media.

I hope that those who have been lucky enough to escape this culture will attempt to put a stop to it. Smiles may not be returned, but lets do so any way. Lets talk to each other, meaningful conversations. Encourage each other. Ensure that we have given out love, affection, care, advice and that we have made someones day everyday. Go to sleep knowing that we have made sure that our partner, friends, family know that they are loved by us. Switch off our tv, don’t use your social media apps when we’re meant to be socialising. Educate ourselves. Be spontaneous. Try new things.

Let’s experience life in the best way possible.

HOW CAN WE BE HAPPY ?

Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.

Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.

At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon. Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.

The speaker began— exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.

Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.

Good thing the media has something as massively insignificant as the winter Olympics to distract everyone from the civil unrest going on in Ukraine and Venezuela.
