Honesty...

Most people out there believe that being honest is an easy thing to do for as long as one's willingness is there, however, there's so much more to "honesty" than the simple dimension we see in life. In fact, being honest (to yourself and to others) is one of the most difficult tasks to manage in life.

Really, what do you think would be the first step in order to be honest to our true-selves and others? Logically, it would be to get to know our "true-selves", no? How well do you know about yourself or better yet? how much are you willing to see your true-self?

We often manipulate ourselves all the time without knowing due to many kinds of fear out there. We tend to be cocky with the ideas we plant in our minds. It may be a life-time journey to be perfectly honest with yourself… No one has to know nor will they, you will be the only person knowing the truth which is essential for you to reach the TRUE HAPPINESS.

"Are we human?... or are we dancers"?

First of all, I really like this song (Human) by the Killers...but hang on cause this is not going to be the main point of my post today. :)

We get so cocky sometimes. We pretend as if we were perfect or even worse - we believe that we have to be perfect. We've been always taught to be "right" (/"perfect) from our parents, teachers and the society (now, religions is part of the society we are in!).

Sometimes the harsh reality out there doesn't accept you if you are not "right", which is equivalent to being perceived as "normal" in our society. Furthermore, the way of life such as values and societal norms are not even enough that people feel pressured to have that perfect physical beauty - plastic surgeries are rampant as well as beauty products. It almost seems like trying SO hard to be perfect in any way you can has taken some people's lives over out there. Have you ever taken a step back and thought about what's happening here? You are not living YOUR own life anymore; you are living for everyone else and everything else around you but yourself.

We need to remind ourselves that we are not and will never be perfect no matter what. We are ONLY human; we are not God. Maybe that's the beauty of life. No offence to you, God (please don't be upset) - but really, you don't get the joy of learning something new cause you already know everything, joy of acoomplishing something with your own effort because you have everything and I can name more and more, but that's ok for you! because that's your role (I am still speaking to God) just like how we huamn beings also have different roles to take in this life - no wonder some are supposed to be out there selling physical beauty to please our eyes and some are not.

I guess the bottom line is that we are able to enjoy the "journey" of life as human. As someone once said, "life is a journey not a destination." Maybe it's time for us to have a moment and really think about ourselves. Are we human enough?? (as opposed to "are we God enough?") Can anyone be human enough??...

P.S. By the way - don't get me wrong. I value a good sense of style because I think it's a sign of people having self-respect by taking good care of themselves and there is a fine line between being fashionable and being all plastic-ky. :)

La vida es sueño

Are we dreaming constantly? or are we dreaming in dreams of dreams, reality of dreams, dreams of reality? what is reality? how can we tell?!

Maybe we will never figure it out. Maybe searching for the answers for these questions is living life itself - called dreaming. Who said life was just a dream...

La vida es sueño.
