"If you get tired of life, then just think that this life, seemingly well-oiled construction of laws, rules and people playing puppets, is merely a game. Think outside of the box, think like an alien. All the rules we have, are simply put in place by random people who thought it would be a good idea and would probably suit THEIR needs, not yours, yours were probably included just so you would not notice that it is not in your favour. Aggressive and angry people are not all that - it is not strength to threaten and restrict other peoples lives, it´s a weakness to not be able to consider others - no balanced and advanced person would take joy in destroying themselves or anyone else. People who are hardest to love usually need it the most, think about it. We are all afraid of getting hurt, doesn´t matter who you are and we all need comfort or.. simply.. unconditional love. Traditions and other practices are also thought by people for people - it has nothing to do with any "truth." It is just one way of doing things, you CAN think of another or you CAN choose not take part in this because this is YOUR life. What I´ve come to realize is that, you cannot really respect other people, you cannot really support them in their own quest and encourage them to get the experience they require if you, yourself, are limiting and not allowing yourself to do so. Why should you help someone if you feel you aren´t able to do it yourself? Support yourself and you´ll find that you will take more joy in seeing other people achieve their goals or dreams and you will absolutely love it and.. would probably love enjoy fulfilling your life as well."
