Fool by choice

We are so over flooded with information that nothing out of it seems to have any importance. We are too knowledgeable that we miss out our own ignorance. We become so fragmented between options that there’s no difference between black and white, right and wrong – everything is gray and lukewarm. The abundance of information seems to make us ignorants – knowledge literally makes fools out of us.

 

And in the ignorance nothing is real. Nothing has real meaning. Everything repeats itself and nothing out of it really touches us.

 

In this state of mind we don’t really live. We burden ourselves and people around us with expectations how things should be – how we "know" they should be – because there are a lot of directives out there. We’ve read them! We already know! Now it’s all about practice! – we think. It’s like the life before us is already defined and now it’s all about living it up.

 

Not living up to the expectations - what a constant disappointment in yourself and others!

 

Admit it – you’re a fool when it comes to life! How can you possibly know? Think about it! How can you take the pride of telling you know what is life, what is love, what is right and what is wrong?

 

You know what you know – and that’s it! But there’s so much more – so you can easily consider yourself as a fool and make no injustice!

 

You can’t choose your lessons, but you can easily choose not to learn. Don’t judge what life wants to become. If you encounter something new and judge it based on your old experience – did you get the lesson?

 

New knowledge cannot enter when you’re already full. Empty your mind!! Empty your expectations! Let it in!

 

The minute words become empty for you - you’re full. The minute other people become ordinary for you – you’re full! The minute you talk more than you listen – you’re full! The minute your mind - instead of your heart - starts dictating your emotions - you're full!

 

Empty yourself. Learning can’t come to a place that’s already full.

I'm a fool by choice.
