Liberation

I want my posts on this blog to focus on my last post's main theme. That we are all caught up and losing our way. We are deficient in what we know and how we can live our life. So, for today I am going to focus on self-help and low-self-esteem. Enjoy! -Mia

"What is the mark of liberation? No longer being ashamed in front of oneself."-Friedrich Nietzsche




Liberation is something that can be referred to on multiple levels, but for the purposes of this post I'd like to refer to an individual's liberation from their own self-doubt. 


Friedrich Nietzsche offers so much to learn in the quote above. How many times have you found yourself drenched in embarrassment. This is part of human nature. Whether you are a high-school climbing the social ladder or falling from it to the dark pit of social isolation, a grown adult going through a divorce or welcoming a new baby, it doesn't matter. We all find that at some point in our lives we are ashamed of how we dress, walk, feel, love, proclaim, talk, wonder, think, weigh, and the list goes on and on. 


This self-doubt is so strong that it can tear down the personality of even the strongest. It is here that the world can become dark and filled with depression, and at the saddest level suicide. 


How can people remove themselves from such a world of self-doubt and low self-esteem? Nietzsche offers a simple, yet profound answer! If you can get to a level where you are no longer ashamed in front of your own self, you can finally accept yourself. And, thus, feel liberated to be who you want to be. 


Yet, a simple answer is never an easy endeavor. Learning and changing does not happen in an instant. But it does happen if you want it to, and are willing to see how many amazing things can be done.


Just try.

Paper

When given a piece of plain paper, a blank expression can fill your mind with it's empty space. Crumpled or neatly flattened, that paper is the connection between a person and creating what exists in their mind. Yet, how can a person acknowledge what they are feeling and want to express while still containing excitement with-in the opaque blue lines drifting? For to acknowledge, according to Dictionary.com, someone must "Accept or admit the existence or truth of." What starts to begin in this world when we no longer realize what exists or is true? 


It seems that in today's fast paced crazed world, many often lose grasp with their own written intellect and fall into a state of exknowledge. Without knowledge as a tool in everyday life, what then happens to it?


Extinction.
