We sometimes get to wake up with the impression that nothing really new happens, as if we were in the middle of nowhere ; the worst of it having us feeling almost surprised. As if we, as Western countries citizens had finally became scared when in front of what we take as a lack of sollicitations and noise. Differently said : emptiness and silence. In fact, those are nothing but sort of inner cookies reminding us how life is an unceasing succession of things and their exact opposites…
Ups and downs, black and white, hot and cold and so on… What would be the value of life (things) if it wasn’t made of those balances ? One’s gotta cross all the possible steps of a situation to have an exact view of what to be accomplished in order to reach its goals and, being aware of this, building its own strategy. One’s gotta go to the poor countries to have a precise idea of the privilege to have been raised up in a rich part of the world. The only prob – and it’s far from being the smallest issue – residing in the fact that most of us have progressively ended up losing the notion of effort and subsequently the value of things. As a blattant example, I would take for instance the right of vote which many of us don’t use any more for some reasons, even though our ancestors’d given their lives to have it in their search for freedom ! Many people around us obviously tend to take life as a fatality, as if there was nothing to be done which, to me, seems a bit e-z… Unless figuring oneself that existence would be sort of like a train following tracks. Not that sure about this as being the way most of you consider the things on these pages. This said, speaking about hope, faith, brotherhood and all the stuff like that is a thing, meanwhile acting in that sense is a far different one.
Would you reasonnably come to anyone showing like a closed face ? Naaah ! As no more would you be enclined to have a love story with someone displaying signs of indifference and that’s about the same as far as business is concerned. What I would simply like to point out is the fact that shouldn’t you give of yourself, there’s then no way to hope getting anything in return and vice versa.
Sure, many of us are living hard times nowadays but we’d rather question ourselves about some way to find a solution than keep on complaining and telling ourselves that it’s the others’ fault. Not happy about the way life tends to be ? Then let’s act to make it better and this often starts with light changes on our daily way of reacting. Feel like there’s a thing you can’t do alone, then share it with people you feel close to and sharing the same kind of interests. And please, forget about your egos… C’mon, there are not as many alternatives but 2, having you loving the life you live or not. And if in the second case, then make everything to get to the first one, otherwise chances are great to see you living your last days with the feeling that you haven’t done anything of your life.
Keep the fire burning is more than a song of hope, it’s nothing but what we gotta do in order to have brighter days. MFSB
