Complexion
ʇdᴉɹɔsǝɥʇdᴉlɟ
Just look around at all of the conspicuous consumption or even the regular everyday spend and what people have access to and you can see how easily that most places in the world are far richer in their day to day standard of living than most people have been for all of known history.
And yet even with all this I can't help but see how poor people are internally. Its literally all around me and even though its clear as day to an observer most folk aren't even aware of the depths of their own misery because they simply refuse to allow themselves to feel.
How?
Simple.
TV, games, drinking, sex, drugs.. anything to fill those 8 hours between sleep and work so the inner realms screams aren't heard.
Most people really don't like themselves. Either due to the life they're forced to lead to just keep food on the table or the false image they need to invest in via their digital antics in order to get the validation they so crave. Same goes with the brothers who say they're tougher than leather and are always ready to kick up dust just to make sure they maintain that rep - same hustle, different platform.
Beggars in expensive clothes.
Rare in this world is one you see who is coming from the inside out once they've grown past the state of childhood as that is what defined that era but most people are told they are wrong, aren't good enough, need to do this or that to belong... and they believe it and start walking along the path of misery.
My wise cats know, people who came before us had simpler lives but they were far richer because there was more community. Thats why we're gathered here, you know? Its like a digital stoop for us to kick it and whilst its scope is larger it doesn't even have a quarter of the feeling of being in the moment with your team.
I ain't saying lets go back to the old ways and send messages via pigeon (prrrrrrrrrrrr) as we come together to raise each others kids like a tribe is supposed to because tech has its hooks in people and brains have been thoroughly washed but what will help is just taking 5 minutes a day to sit quietly by yourself.
Listen to that internal voice. Hear what it says. Pay attention to the feelings in your body. Don't run from the pain, embrace it. Stop and think about what comes up. Accept what is out of your hands and change that which you control - which nearly always is your interpretation and action. See how different that is from reaction? For bonus points write down your thoughts to literally get them out of your mind and see how you evolve over time. Even 21 days, consecutive, is enough to make that change.
There is a war going on outside no man is safe from but it only reflects the conflict inside most aren't aware of.
Get to know your mind.
Befriend yourself.
Pay heed to the inner world.
Enjoy the silence.
Start now.
The vast majority of everything in life is either a coping mechanism or method of distraction to stop feeling the internal schism that lies gently weeping. Fix the wound in you, change the world for your seed.
Its thats simple.

Emancipating y'all from the mental plantation, one seed at a time. Just like house and field you can tell who wants to be free and who is too comfortable in their misery.
