A Life Full Of Influences Is Second Hand

Most of us haven't really examined life.

Because we are always conforming,

Always following,

Always imitating,

Always do what we are told to do.

In doing so,

The mind feels it is very convenient,

Very easy to live a life.

But what is behind this is all kinds of confusion,

Conflict,

Turbulence.

Such a living is totally secondhand.

Because the mind is being filled with all kinds of images,

What should be,

What should not be.

And all those images from everywhere,

From media,

From government,

From all kinds of personal views,

Comments,

From all kinds of imaginations,

Illusions,

Delusions.

A life which is not examined is a life full of inferences.

A life that is full of inferences is never new,

It is never original,

Never authentic.

All of those inferences means that they are all old,

Secondhand.

The mind always conforms to a pattern,

To some idea.

And such a way of life is very mechanical,

And the mind is so conditioned to it.

Oh,

People around me are also living in a similar way,

So I feel it's normal to live in this way.

When I have some challenges,

I turn to other people for help,

Tend to the experts,

Specialists who think they know.

But the problem is that if the issues can be really solved,

We wouldn't have been doing this together,

To inquire,

To understand.
