The Lost Self

When did we become so uptight, where all that we do is following laid down rules, when did we stop being spontaneous, where our life is just a routine that we must follow, when did we stop having fun, where all that we now do is to earn a living. What happened to us, what happened to that child we used to be, that us which do not care much about the world, that us that just wants to play all the time, that us that has a sweet and energetic spirit, that us that do not care much about materials, that us that is not afraid to let it hair down, that us that is okay with getting dirty just as long as it is having fun, that us that our soul crave for. What happened to us?

The Eyes do not Cry

The eyes is said to be 'the mirror to the soul', it has been seen as that which betrays our outward self as it tells what we really feel deep inside. The eyes do not lie, as it is almost expressionless. Most times, we cannot control it expression by our outward self, it expression can only be controlled from the inside, by the truth from inside. We can use other parts of the body to lie, we can smile even though we are sad inside, we can gesticulate to show interest in topics we are not interested in, yes, we can indeed use all the parts of our body to lie except the eyes, the eyes never lie, it will never help you play your tricks. The eyes is indeed a mirror to our soul.

Grouping: The Complex Phenomenon

Grouping; a set of associated people acting together. Is this what we really want? Where we go where it goes, where we eat what it eats, where we wear what it wears. Is that what we truly want? To be part of group?

Group promises to help us meet all our needs: it promises to protect us, that with it, no one can harm us, that with it, we are safe. Group promises to give us an affiliation, that with it, we have an identity we may be associated as a member of it, that we may have specific descriptions that are accruing from it.
