Unearthed: Thoughts: Chapter 1 part 3 Common Thoughts
I just happened to be surfing the internet when
this thought popped into my head:" People don't mind girls dressing
bikinis at the beach but they do label the same girls negatively when dressing them
elsewhere". Confusing much!? Where does this difference in norms stem from? One possibility could be a Jewish backstory.
It is to my understanding Jewish men cover their heads as a religious practice. A timeless practice. If we take into consideration the male dominant histories, I suspect, it was mandated, by religious practice, that women completely cover themselves in clothes.
Then somewhere in the 19th century standards became more lenient. Though, some Christians still cover their heads to this day. It seems time is progressing towards more lenient fashion practice. But, as with all things, time is cyclic. This trend will too, end one day. And people will start putting more layers of clothes on. As life began, it will too, one day, go back to
nothingness. It is pretty much what happens with anything in existence.
Let's focus on human women clothing for the time being. Humans wore rags of clothes back at the stone age. Next, clothes began to advance with more layers of textile
added. Somewhere in the 19th century the top count of layers was reached, or maybe a little earlier. Then, layers began flying rapidly to the extent some designs can be viewed as mere recreations of bikinis! I
know it happened in some places around the world. I will state it
anyway: it won't surprise me to see people walking in the streets naked soon
enough.
Hidden between the many the ideas and
questions we get throughout our day, remains dormant the question: can children
change the way we view the world? We often dive deep into our thoughts
and indulge our own imaginations, recalling animations, such as Digimon
and Avatar, along with our own versions of Super Kids. I cannot seem to remember children
who truly changed the world view during the past 6 years. This is probably because most of the ones who actually managed to change the world, appeared before, within and after World War 2. Are we going to see anymore kids of the type? Whether
children deaths around the world, in Africa, Israel, Palestine, and else where ever will, remains unknown. Even the footprints of artists from all around the world, known and
unknown, remain shielded by a secretive future. We don't even know if an enemy is in possession of the key to the future best for our children!
Another yet interesting phenomenon is the unbelievable emphasis our societies place on the value of materialistic possessions. Material isn't worth losing
life over. Try to take some time to enjoy life for yourself, and consider what truly will satisfy you.
What will I gain from buying a new car? Won't I miss money so much? Will I be satisfied with what I got in exchange? I
want another car and a bigger house. I need more money. I must work for longer
hours to get a good salary. I've been spending all my time at work. Where did my life go? I quit.
Satisfaction! Satisfaction is what we
humans strive for. Even those who don't seem to run after possessions feel unfulfilled when they don't achieve the goals they've laid their eyes on. If you are satisfied with what you have, you won't succumb to the negative emotions which pull people down to despair. You'll just climb the stairs to
the vastness of existence. Do note however: being content doesn't
mean letting go of the desire to work hard for a better life.
The concept of contentment may not be easy to understand. But it is simple. All we need to do is accept our current state of being and not complain about it. We can still work hard towards improving our well-being or status, of course! For example, you might have a really crappy 200 B.C.
cart, but You don't envy others nor hate them for having better cars. You don't complain about it. You view it as a car which fits your
needs. At the same time, not contempt you, works towards having a better car. Win-win!
