Our Defiant Relationship With Time

With today's increasingly connected society, Time has been an integral part of our lives in synchronizing tasks. The flight is scheduled at 9 am tomorrow. That basketball match is taking place tonight at 7 pm. No matter what kind of activities we involve ourselves in, getting to know the Time is certainly of utmost importance in navigating through our lives.

Our incessant need to keep track of Time sort of beleaguers us to being slaves of our own invention. In olden times where Time was presented in a different texture, nature was our only calling in life. The movement of the Sun and Moon was our only way of telling the time. Time used to be a commodity which is seemingly in abundance and endless.

Ever since the Industrial Revolution, our relentless race against the literal and our biological clock to try and amass ever more has sparked a phenomenal growth in amazing technologies that aim to surpass the current limits. Over centuries, we have made use of technologies to expedite processes as if our very existence, including that of nature, is flawed in many ways. In times when we used to have horses as our mean of transportation, we replaced them with cars and trains because they were simply faster and more efficient.


 Just when we thought we have control of Time, it would appear that Time has, in fact, control of us. We live in fear of wasting Time and so we go through great lengths in order to try and make perfect this seemingly flawed world that we perceive to live in. Before we know it, we ran out of it and begin to mindlessly wander what is the true meaning in all of these. So, no matter which stage of life you are at right now, let us begin to make peace with our relationship with Time and enjoy it in freedom. Accept this precious gist of life we are bestowed and share it with everyone else to create a better environment instead of destroying it for our own selfish gain.

How You See Yourself Ultimately Decides The Kind of Life You Will Live

Image
Until the moment when we finally find our souls, we are always being influenced by the environment we are in from a very young age. Our thoughts and beliefs are pretty much entirely shaped by our family and society.  However, what the world often says and what the world later does are often against each other. One day, when we feel that we are completely abandoned by the world, we will slowly come to a realisation and enlightenment. That is when our inner selves will grow to be stronger, we learn to ignore the naysayers, we form new perspectives on Life and gain alternative strategies on how to traverse this world we live in. It is at this moment that your inner soul is no longer as ignorant as it used to be; all sorts of Joker , big or small, will be born.  Joker (2019 film) From the Big Bang, to the formation of our solar system, to the existence of Mother Earth, to the creation of various lifeforms, to the evolution of Homo Sapiens, to the birth of your very self.

Start From The Things Where You Can Do Best, To Make The World A Better Place

To be able to make a contribution to mankind or the society can also be a kind of blessing. Take a step back and look at the Life most of us are going through thus far. In order to minimize inconvenience in our lives and the lives of others, most of us practice self-restraint. That is how the majority of us try to do in order to get us to where we are at various stages of Life. In the face of growing old and moving toward the livelihood of being an old man, the majority of us, at least, can perhaps attempt to shift away from our current standpoint or way of thinking of restraining ourselves towards something that speaks "do-what-you-love-to-do" as the focal point in living. One of the practical way of doing this is to transform that "who-am-I-doing-it-for" or "this-is-for-the-good-of-the-community" that forms the basis of our survival in today's context by adding in the element of "doing-what you-love-to-do". I deeply believe that

Courageous People Will Make Themselves Look Normal. 5 Signs Of "Courage" Based on Alfred Adler's Psychology Theory

Image
Those who lack courage, will resort to all means possible to look 'special'; those who possess courage, will blend themselves in as being 'normal'. Courage is the feeling in which you experience strength and you are of worth, as well as the belief that you can take on Life's problems. Life's going will never be all rosy and smooth-sailing, it may sometimes be due to work, interpersonal relationships, love relationships, or parent-child relationships; or it may also be due to a series of obstacles you faced along the way. Whenever we encounter difficulties, all of us are given two choices: one is to face it head on, and another is to run away from it. The latter of which is termed is Superiority Complex and Inferiority Complex. Let's take a look the 5 signs of "Courage" as advocated through Alfred Adler's school of thoughts.  The feeling that you are capable and worthy of achievements The crux of the problem is that avoiding problems
