P5y - Happiness by prestow, literature

Literature

P5y - Happiness

pre-script note: it's hard to be at the same time brief, playful and informative in writing, but I'll try anyway, so bear with me, ok? :D The question for today is: Happiness - Is it healthy to pursue it? How to be always in "good" mood. The struggle to understand it began in the deviations "Are you awaken?" and "Love - Really". Take your time and go read them, both are brief. The answer is that we shouldn't be looking for happiness or wanting it. - Wait, what? - Calm down, don't shoot the messenger. Happiness is peace and living the moment. But wait, what peace if we didn't get nowhere and what moment if we achieved nothing? Real happin

Past 5 years - What I've been learning by prestow, literature

Past 5 years - What I've been learning

This is the opener of a series that you might want to follow and save as reference. Also I'll be accepting themes to write about, relating them to relevance in life. We'll be talking about deep thoughts in a fast and simple manner, in a fun reading format. The idea is to make phylosophy and subjective knowledge to apply on everyday life. Today I'm revisiting things I wrote many years ago, and letting you know on what I still agree, what else I've learned and on what I disagree; always explaining why. Here's a few themes I'll be answering first: - Happiness - Is it healthy to pursue it? How to be always in "good" mood. - Love - What I learn

Rediscovering the Rainbow by prestow, literature

Literature

Rediscovering the Rainbow

A year ago I was upset to what the Rainbow has become as symbol. Now mythology, folklore like religion, is what came to save the day for me. To think that I, a skeptic, can use fantasy to label a phenomenom, repudiating the current label put on It without my consent, taught to children, seen on TV, shows how much contempt I have for subcultures pushing their truths to people. Even though the contents of religion and mythology are illusion I won't discard them completely, for their literature and characters are art. The Greek, Chinese, Hindu, Norse, Celtic, Christian, Judaic, aboriginal cultures all have their own unique mythological r

Mixed animals Experiment by prestow, literature

Literature

Mixed animals Experiment

If different animals were put in the same cage, we would watch their reaction on TV and it could be more interesting than going to the Zoo. It seems most people agree with that statement in times of reality television shows. I know, it isn't interesting at all, it's actually weird. Still, people wanted something like that, a Zoo where animals with completely different behavior were put together in a cage, and then broadcasted to television. Each country would have their own special kinds of animals that they would mix for the fun of the telespectators. That has been on TV worldwide, the reality show is called Big Brother and the animals are

Are you awaken? by prestow, literature

Literature

Are you awaken?

Once in a while this question hits me, and should hit you too. Are you aware of why you choose to behave the way you do in your life? Happiness, freedom and uniqueness. If you are looking for them, so am I. What we do, that is not in our genes, is culture. Simply put, the way we act in our group. This include laws, language, sexual choice, behavior, morality, but not thinking. The real You are your thoughts, and if you live by the group's thoughts you are part of the "cattle". People can survive as cattle but won't be happy. The objective of the collective is to prosper as a group and not for the individuals. That part is left for each pers

Art and Artist by prestow, literature

Literature

Art and Artist

INDEPENDENT "BEINGS" - It's a common mistake for people to expect their favourite artist to ressemble their favourite art. The Artist is not part of his/her art, while his/her art is part of the Artist. It's advisable to avoid taking anyone in parts. The Artist is to his/her art as a parent is to a child when they are spinning happily. Aside the happily part, when they rotate around each other they have a common center of gravity, and during that while they are one. In Art that while can last forever. LIKING THE ARTIST - A beautiful woman cosplaying a pretty cartoon character. It's surely healthier to appreciate an incarna

A Vida by prestow, literature

Literature

A Vida

De repente me lembrei da vida, Foi como um choque que me arrebatou sem avisar; Parei tudo para pensar no que é a vida, E cheguei à conclusão de que não sei bem ao certo, Mas é algo muito especial, que me dá alegria e felicidade Me lembra da fraternidade, da bondade e da boa ação Como um todo, Inseparável. Só que, nesse mundo cruel Eu não poderia, nem conseguiria Pensar muito tempo em coisas boas Porque as pessoas são más. Quando tentei me lembrar de coisas boas, Associei as pessoas ao todo Mas não encontrei o encaixe, Pois vi que não somos merecedores do

Poesia by prestow, literature

Literature

Poesia

Poesia é dizer Poesia é se expressar Poesia é saber se apaixonar É poder agradar A quase todo mundo É poder ser feliz E espalhar felicidade É se juntar à mocidade E não ter medo de fazer, não ter medo de errar Porque só não erra quem não faz Poesia Poesia é poder amar à luz do dia Recitar uma cantiga Destroçar um coração Fazer do amigo um irmão E poder comemorar E fazer mais poesia

Love - Really by prestow, literature

Literature

Love - Really

I found permanent Love. What would be of your life if you felt very well almost every day and most of the time? I do, and you can too. Most intelligent people don't know what to do with Love - and it ends distorted. They live in fear and guilt, ignorance and a repetitive boring life, becoming too busy, confused and superficial to notice what matters most. How can we realize 'it' is there when there are so many things going on in our minds? Love by itself is passion, hence, short-lived and fallible; we grab it often but don't grasp it. It is important to understand this is the difference between living through it for a while and being alway
