nONE ARE MORE HOPELESSLY ENSLAVED THAN THOSE WHO FALSELY BELIEVE THEY ARE FREE
By s r shearer
Ignorance is bliss.
Finding the footprints, in this chapter of the journey I wont to briefly explain why I feel I need to take this journey and what made me decide to learn about buddism.
I have basically woken up to the fact that we are controled.
I could rant for ever about it but who ever reads this already knows what i mean and most of us wish for a better life and to be happy, many people class happiness differently and with every right to! i think it all depends on circumstance and expirences, I have been a bricklayer since leaving school and enjoyed it most of the time. Ha. But I never made lots of money and was always struggling to pay bills and live.. so I thought about what is the point working and living like this? You get up early, go work your guts out in all weathers, the last two winters almost killed me, my boss at the time had me defrosting ton bags of sand with a gas flame thrower just to put a mix on!!!!!!! Time to go home me thinks!
You get home tired, eat your tea in front of the tv and go to sleep and after you get payed you pay all the bills and are left with nothing, and you do this all your life, well really thats not what i call life, i cant get a morgage not that i want to be enslaven to one but it does prove to me that if they wont let me make a home for myself and make working hard rewarded then fine.
I work in security now and really love it, i get to travel about and see some very interesting things, ive been working in london for 6 months now and had alot of time to think.
In the begining when thailand first came to mind, i knew very little of the country to be
honest I knew it was cheap, it had some lovely islands and you could get banged up for life for looking wrong at a policeman. :-)
I thought it would be a good place to get away from the cold at winter then come back when my work gets busy again. so thats what I planned, save some money and go ride out the storm in paradise.
Ive been learning about positive thinking and karma, buddism and meditation And the temples out there, you can go stay with the monks and try to learn all about there ways of life, not have any luxuries or distractions, to de stress, learn patience and how to awaken the mind to be more spiritual. One other thing I cant wait for is to eat and drink fresh food and Just drink water. Here in london if I want something quick to eat I have many food places to buy food but its not very good for you.
So hopefully a big body and mind detox is What i need.
I recently read a quote that I liked. - You are confined only by the walls you build yourself.
So yes, at the moment I can take away the bricks I have built up around me, I dont have a reason for them, Im going to step out of the box and choose another path, one with less sign posts, :-).
Thats the rant over for now so the next chapter will be more about my life now at work running up to september.
