  • Being a prisoner of oneself is the worst slavery

    Being a prisoner of oneself means losing one of the main functions of human existence – empathy. A self-centered person, as opposed to an empathic person, always talks about himself. Of his thoughts, with no real interest in the inner world of the other.

    When she is alone, she says she feels abandoned, experiencing strong states of anxiety, for the simple reason that she does not know how to decentralize herself from her ego.

    And it is precisely for this reason that a person who is a prisoner of himself does not know how to listen to the messages of growth that are proposed to him by those who want to help him get out of her condition of suffering. Sometimes, those who suffer from self-centeredness alternate between hot and cold moments.

    There are days when she addresses a person as if he is her best friend and others when she treats him badly by accusing him of being mean or untruthful. Remaining self-centered means living in a constant state of emotional suffering, loneliness, and self-destructiveness, with highly inconsistent behavior.

    It is evident that behind this condition there is a history of adolescent childhood growth marked by states of suffering. But it is also true that a painful past does not have the last word on an individual’s freedom of choice to take over the reins of her existence.

    We humans were not born to be prisoners but to become free men and women inside and outside of us. Freedom is a conquest that passes through truth and love. And it is up to us to decide to take this path.

    One remains a prisoner of oneself when one does not have the humility to ask for help. Or when, while asking for help, one does not have the deep will to heal, self-pitying for the abuse or mistreatment suffered. The greatest risk is to think only of your own pain, eliminating that of others.

    The truth is, we all suffer on this earth. There is no human being who can tell a story of only love, encouragement, tenderness, sincerity, and encouragement. When you are a prisoner of yourself all that matters is to receive attention on yourself. This condition leads to losing sight of the presence of the other person, his needs, his desires, his feelings.

    This condition is so serious that a parent can lose sight of a child, a spouse, his partner, a sister, his brother. When one is a prisoner of oneself one inevitably becomes selfish, in the sense that the whole world revolves around the tyrannical demands of one’s wounded ego. It is from this condition that the main forms of human dependence arise.

  • Simplicity is the heritage of the soul

    Simplicity is not yet of this world, life is certainly simpler than it appears, sin that in practice taken as we are from our perception, we fail to grasp how much this corresponds to the truth even if unprovable. Basically, it would be enough to comply with what life puts before us, without creating further obstacles, dictated as we are, by an ignorant conscience that constantly wastes energy in seeking alternative solutions to the evidence of facts.

    We human beings are good at complicating our lives, continually justifying ourselves in front of situations that simply highlight our ability to improve by making contact with our limits. We are made like this, we could be better, but we want to do it, with time and the straw medlars also ripen. So we hope to come to their senses by stopping to accept what would be necessary to remove as the mother of all suffering, ignorance.

    The human being is complex, varied, and eventual, to the point of not realizing that ignorance is the main cause of suffering, yet he defends it with a sword, and if someone dares to point it out he will be accused of making it easy, so not worthy of consideration.

    Instead, life is simple, but due to the fact that we want to remain identified in what we know, or at least we believe that it is so, despite making us suffer, we tend to see the speck in the eyes of others, while the beam that blocks our eyes will be treated as an urban legend.

    Simplicity is not yet of this world, too obvious, yet little would be enough, a little coherence and the recognition of the effects in relation to the causes, making thoughts follow the actions, instead of thinking one thing, saying another one for then take another one. What does a human being do instead?

    He prefers to fish in the turbid feeding it, of clarity he doesn’t know what to do with it, preferring to cultivate that ignorance mentioned above, considered a precious good to make bear fruit for his own use and consumption, believing to act, on the basis of his own illusions in all freedom.

    Simplicity is the patrimony of the soul, a gardener we should trust, a gardener who knows when it is time to prune and to bring greater simplicity into his existence. Well, clear? There is a time for everything, understanding its rhythm is the basis of every possible healing. This is simplicity.
