We are nothing.........only us, only me, only you, only them

 "Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against."
Bruce Lee

Religion, health, sports, culture, games, fashion, language, etc.  We all hold onto our ideals very dearly. Of course, we live by them and we are dedicated to continue living by them because they are a map, an idea of a clear cut goal or prize to live our lives comfortably. Or at least that’s a habit we get into. With this entry, I’ll stem back to the idea of the earlier posting regarding habits and habit forming.  

At a young age, we all pick up habits and hone them over the years. This is a good skill to have and will help us greatly in the future, but there is a chance we will develop bad habits. The only thing to get us back on track is to recognize those bad habits and step out of our comfort zone to break them and form better ones.  A major reason that always hold people back is feeling lost, confused, and wrong.  People usually tend to become defensive and begin to defend their ideals, their morals, their way of life in whatever area it must be. This isn’t a natural state in human behavior.  In fact, there is NO natural state in human behavior.  Everything is picked up from our environment one way or anything.  With that said, now there’s a possibility for solution.  If we developed these habits and picked them up through our environment, let’s see if we can manually influence them. 

Your identity isn’t you, you are free from everything. Don’t ignorantly let an idea or sub culture define you. You’ll end up defending it for the sake of your own insecurities, with a complete disregard for logic.  Let me make this clear.  Whether it is defending a moral belief or a scientific belief, progress cannot be made unless we recognize there is no right or wrong in this world. In science, there is valid and invalid based on probability and consistent data. This data can never be right or wrong either. It has to constantly be put to the test and at the end of the day, it can only be “accurate”.  If we being to let an idea, culture, religion, or any of the likes ever blindly dictate our way of life, then we have fell victim to one of the worst habits of ignorance ever.  We grew attached to these ideas and have now become dependent on them. We cannot grow unless the idea that we have attached ourselves to grows. 

The worse part of this all is that people will go through great lengths to get their point across ONLY for self validation and those great lengths are limitless, not excluding violence.  Once we begin to hold on to ANY idea with come disregards and disrespect to science and the world around us, we begin to become detached from the world and all of the people. This self-separation is very destructive in the long run. The Earth is a whole organism.  How can an organism be in conflict with itself? How can an organism not understand and truly feel itself? We must be humble and understanding to the world around us. Flexibility will get us far.
