{Why'd you have to be so clueless?.

There are certain times in which we humans come to consider a problem "unsolvable". However, is it really unsolvable? Perhaps only to that person who views the problem when he or she is involved in it. But by looking at the situation from another angle... A passerby might see a loophole in the problem and well, problem solved case closed.

The cause for having problems which seem unsolvable to that ruddy fella is due to his extremist mind that's filled with either only negative or only positive thoughts. You might then wonder, why is it that having only positive thoughts about the problem, might be a bad thing? Reason being, we have to be neutral in judging ourselves. If we were in any way biased towards ourselves, the only result will be failure in untying that knot in one's heart. In fact, if the situation is left unsolved for quite some time, unhappiness will start to brew. The knot will start to grow tighter, and eventually it'll end up as a dead knot with a hell lot of tension between the positive and the negative thoughts. Sigh.. is it hard to digest? take some time off then...

The passersby who actually cared about your well-being will try to look into what's going on.. Some of them fail to help you solve your problem. Reason being, they either tend to oppose your opinions so much that you refused to let them help you... or they are so biased towards you that they side you for everything you say.. now that's hell too.. haha.. either way, these people are what we call "the antagonists" and "the followers". Take some time to digest again before i move on.

Now what happens if there is an impartial passerby? He sees the problem clearly and spots a loophole... but yet, these people are hard to come by, for all they know is that you're none of their business even though they have a solution for you. They are those who are able to judge without having to feel for others by helping them. They are able to see what others may not. These are the friends everyone should make.

Somehow.. humans of such blood are so rare that they are almost extinct. Many humans thus tend to make do with whatever they have. They are satisfied by others whom might only seem like a beautiful hard cover of a not-so-best-selling book. And besides, some even shun those plain paperback bookcovers which might in turn be a best-seller in bookstores.. Again.. please take some time to understand what i wrote.

Nonetheless, humans of such blood, with minds equipped with extremely well thought principles, they can be cultivated. They are "the hermit"s. Give them some time (preferably a period of 4~6 years) to feel the wrath that will be incurred on them through silence from their surroundings, from their peers. After the time period, it all depends on the amount of scars a person has in his or her heart. If there is a sufficient number of scars, a new mindset will surface. This new mindset will guide him or her through the greatest of storms... for he or she will no longer fear the feeling of being hurt. He or she will no longer feel sad about the different happenings in life, neither will he or she feel happy about anything.

Will you want to achieve such a state of enlightenment? Or will you still live a life with that tightly tied knot?
************************************************************************************************

I have not achieved it yet... but the finishing line is near... should i pick up my pace and accelerate towards enlightenment? Or should i just drag my feet towards it?
Remember, enlightenment will require a huge sacrifice... better think through it carefully, is this what i really want?
