I was reading a book these days. And a voice keeps whirling around in my head.
As is our wont, we get up, brush teeth, have a breakfast and start a brand new day which may be still bullshit. Some people get stuck in vicious life circle and whirl around the centre. Though trying hard to escape from it, he found himself in vain. Sometimes, situation may get better, but an ensuing calamity destorys everything just rebuilt. That just got him more pain and despair. Those despair includes the loss of things such as I have to have a stable job, a good husband, a good friend, a good virtue, a good family... What we consider as humiliated or good things is really so? Who defined that? Why do we comply with those hidden rules embedded deep inside in our brain?
Only one thing marks a change— fly up to sky and take a step back to think about the situation.
Society has its own order and classes. Only upper class can make rules and are capable of engraving those rules further down the society. All those rules are made for their own benefits. But one day, a man in lower class discovered the hidden secret and gathered a gang of people with anguish. They came up to overthrow upper class and made themselves build a better society for every one. Did they make it? No. When they jump to the upper class, they made a similar mistake just like former bitten class did, only in a subtle way. To make the society stable, they may inherit some ways as before, and add something else. All those things make the world we live today.
It seems to make no difference by knowing this through reading. But when I see things in a clearer way, I realize not every misfortune befalling on people is completely their fault. Neither is fate. The only thing to do is to remind myself to be wary of being brainwashed and to think logically by asking what it is and why it is like that.
Reading is a way to help do the practice and foster the ability.
