Clarity On Sundays

I find it amusing that we are taught to pray for prosperity, for material things to be given to us. By preachers whose claim to fame is guaranteeing a rich man’s life to his followers. He got rich by swindling you with a false idea. With your contribution, you guarantee his prosperity. With his prosperity you will equate his success as proof of his infallible faith. Something you can hold on to and replicate. I don’t understand how the rephrased and reprised mantra of “give me your money and I’ll show you how to get rich” scheme works every time. But it does.

Marahil madalas mo itong naririnig, ang hamon sa iyong kasalukuyang estado: “Malaya ka ba?” . O di kaya yung mas matinding pagsuma sa iyong kalagayan na naka ankla sa mga takot, hangganan at mga hindi mo kayang gawin: “Hindi ka malaya!”

Sunod nito ay ang paglista ng lahat ng iyong kahinaan laban sa matinding kasamaan na namamayagpag sa ngayon. Ang pangarap mo ay ilusyon, pero ang mga di ka-nais nais ay parang sapot na sumakop ng isang sulok ng iyong kamalayan. Basta nandyan na lang sya. Sunod ka na lang.

The Struggles That Define You

Your struggles will define you. How you swim through it or as Bukowski puts it “What matters most is how well you walk through the fire” because “Sometimes life won’t leave you alone.” Sometimes life is tough enough not to even give you a forked road.

I think the evil lies in staying in the comfort zone idly. That 3 seconds in the paint.
Comfort zones are meant to be expanded. Otherwise, suffer mental atrophy.

I’ve tasted a life wasted, I’m never going back again.
