internal conflicts

people always discuss things with themselves. i believe that this what makes us human. also, i believe that if we do so, it makes us psychologically healthy. a lot of activities are springing out nowadays and they say their purpose is to "maintain a healthy well-being".

i don't believe we need such activities in order to have peace with the self. why? well, i believe we can do away without yoga or therapy or the other activities they say is for self-improvement or a way of maintaing a healthy well-being. it's like saying "yes. I'm crazy." the problem nowadays is that we lose sight of the values passed on to us by our ancestors. by doing so, we corrupt our minds and become our own enemy. i have observed that there are more internal conflicts today rather than positive thinking. the difference between back then and now is that we wallow in our misery and forget that resolution is just around the corner. back in the day, people knew how to deal with the problem rather than just burying it and running away.

gender relations and love generation

1. there has been an on-going issue between men and women. many believe that men are the dominant ones and others believe that women are. this issue is dated back to the generation of the first people who walked this planet. so many issues between men and women have gone down history that it confuses us all. what i picked up from our historical background is that never was this argument resolved. but what we fail to understand is that men need women as much as women need men. we have Yin Yang, Hercules and Hebe, Da Vinci and The Mona Lisa and a lot more to prove that. probably we already know it, but we just fail to understand it. with the simple examples i have given, we know that these tandems went hand-in-hand down history. gender relations? we truly are interdependent.

2. aside from oil price hikes and minimum wage on a minumum, the difference of love in the 19-something and today has not changed a tad bit. we may have been spoiled by the wonders of modern technology, but all in all it's just the same sweet, wonderful thing. it's just that people do not take it seriously anymore and take it for granted. i don't blame this generation for thinking what an overrated thing love is. why? because we just can't prove the value of it anymore. the word love has been overused that its meaning and value is something foreign to us. aside from that, we do not hear our special someone tell us they love us in person anymore. we have phones and text messaging to do that for them/us. it has become so superficial. the saddest thing about modern technology is that it robs us of the simple yet wonderful moments we encounter.
