The Northern 📍

  WAKE UP!      Wake up! Rise! Before it’s too late!      Seriously, enough is enough. How much longer will we stand by and allow the things which are happening to continue to happen? How much longer does it take before we all wake up and realize- nobody is coming to save us?      In today’s world, the population is sleep-walking. They are nothing more than zombies, running around, consuming 24/7. No thoughts, no cares, nothing. Most don’t even have a soul or consciousness, in my humble opinion. Which explains pretty well why things are as bad as they seem to be. Nobody is paying attention. Nobody is awake. Everybody is burying their heads in the sand, waiting for somebody else to take care of it for them.      I grow tired, every single day. Waking up, only to witness more and more criminal activity go unpunished. Why should I be forced to follow rules, when others do not? Why should I pay my taxes, when they are being mi...

  Days become Weeks, Weeks become Years.      Time no longer feels real. I am slowly trapped within a never-ending cascade of motion, where everything slowly slips away.      Life is this really weird phenomenon, and I don’t seem to understand it. At least, I don’t seem to understand the system which we humans have created. Reality and the Universe would be much better off without ever existing, without ever truly being born. Yet here we are, alive and powerful beyond all measures. Some things simply do not make sense.        I often think of the quote from Dune, where the Arrakis soldier says that Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to experience. I definitely get that, because I agree. No matter how hard we search for the answer, no matter how deep we dive- all we find is more questions. Never-ending questions, like a rabbit hole with no end. Wiser men than me have dedicated their lives to the search for the answer, ...

     Communication is Key .      At least, thats what they tell me. Everybody, everywhere, preaching how communication is the most important aspect of any relationship, both personal and professional. If that is true, then how come so many people are so horrible at it? It would seem like a skill one should go to extraordinary lengths to master, in order to excel in their relationships within their own lives. Yet, over and over again, we see people who fail at it, horrendously.      I used to believe that people simply were born a certain way, and that was that. Some people, were born with skills in certain areas- while others, were not. I ate up the good old lie of talent, and believed that some people simply have something that others cannot possess. Perhaps some people simply are better communicators than others, because they were given said talent. Perhaps some people are better at clay sculpting simply because they were given that talent....
