Where can pain and suffering take you?


Have you watched the Korean Episode of 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐲𝐩𝐡𝐮𝐬? It is a Sci-fi movie focusing on time travel and changing the past over and over again. If you can see that time is not linear but simultaneous, it would be easier for you to understand this.


Anyway, as I watched this movie, my attention was caught by this villain – Sigma. Sorry if this is a bit of a spoiler but, I really want to write my thoughts about him.


This person is a perfect example of a damaged child who became, of course, a damaged adult. What is his mission? To destroy the world.


Yes, that is what a damaged child can do when he became an adult without making peace with his past.
This person was an abused child.


When he grew up, he was longing for appreciation and love.


He became so jealous of his schoolmate. It appears to him that the world is always in favor of his schoolmate yet unfair to him.


He almost killed himself too, and while attempting to do so, he wished there would be at least one person who would stop his nonsense ideas. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝.


Is this because of the people who abused him? Partly yes, but most of all he didn’t notice that the main person who didn’t care and abuse him was himself.


Sounds a bit off?


𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲. 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫.


We often blame people, situations, and circumstances as a culprit for current life situations. However, we weren’t able to see that we always have a 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗜𝗖𝗘.


A choice to make our life better.


A choice to heal.


A choice to let go of the pain and suffering.


A choice to make peace with our past.


A choice to change the game.


But, this person chose to be the same damaged child that he was. He chose to believe that he was a victim of his life situation. That his terrible life was because of the people around him. That the world is being unfair to him. This is what the protagonist is trying to tell him but his mind was closed to this concept.


He said, “𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐈’𝐦 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲.”


If no one asked, why not do it for yourself? Why wait for someone to rescue you from that darkness. Yes, the world seems unfair to him or to anyone who feels the same way right now. But, have you asked yourself? 𝐀𝐦 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟?


If you want a loving and kind world, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟.


Create the world that you have always dreamed of and stop thinking and accepting that you are a victim of this life situation.


Be aware, and be conscious that you are being played by your mind.


The majority of the people walking on Earth were damaged as a child. As a result, they are transferring that pain to their child unconsciously, which will then create a continuous cycle.


𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒔𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒂 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏?


Going back to the movie, in the end, he made a choice.


What is that choice?


𝐓𝐨 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐦.


Now, after reading this, ask yourself:


"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞?"

How a 6 years old understands Jollibee Foods Corporation

  "Inasal is owned by Jollibee" - Awudya Nung nakaraan nagdiscuss siya sa'kin ng business plan niya. Nung kumain naman kami sa Mang Inasal ang sabi naman niya ang Jollibee daw ay owned ng Mang Inasal. Although iba daw yung food like chickenjoy and spaghetti, still si Mang Inasal ay part daw ng Jollibee katulad ng Greenwich. I asked her today kung bakit niya nasabi yun, nabasa niya daw yung sign nakalagay yung Jollibee. And there are other members of Jollibee daw. And to validate that, yes Mang Inasal is owned by Jollibee just like Greenwich, Chowking, Mang Inasal, Red Ribbon and many more within PH and outside PH. Meron ding Chinese Resto ang Jollibee na nasa China. That is why JFC or Jollibee Food Corporation is a strong company. Kapag nag-invest ka sa kanila, hindi ka lang basta nag-invest sa Chickenjoy. Anyway, going back sa anak ko. Nakakatuwa na alam niya yun simply by observing. Mana ka kay Mommy, tahimik lang but observing. I know one day, you will do great things....

Why do we suffer?

Photo by omar alnahi: This past few months, I've been very distant and observant of people, and their emotions. I'm trying to understand where the suffering of humans is coming from. I received various answers and most of them are because of outside forces. So instead, I ask within. What is it that makes humans suffer? Is it because of fear? Is it because life is indeed unfair? Or is it because of something deeper yet obvious? Today, I woke up with a heavy feeling in my chest. Something from my childhood keeps on flashing on the screen of my memories and of course, I don't like it. I'm practicing unattachment in everything that comes into my life now, but at this moment, the pain in my chest keeps on getting heavier. So I'm aware that I'm doing something wrong with it. Then, I came across one of Aaron Abke's podcasts, entitled "The Pain and Pleasure Paradox". In this podcast, I suddenly realized that what ...

Love vs. Attachment

 Learn the difference between Attachment and Love. Because clearly, those two things are different from each other, but humans are unconsciously considering them as one. Emotions are simply the fulfillment of one's desire - attachments. Self-fulfilling. Self-aggrandizement. Love is an intense feeling of deep affection and does not necessarily have to be reciprocated. This is why people with the same wounds can connect with each other. They simply misunderstood the spark as "Love". In reality, this is just an attachment. The person whom you can connect with has the same wound as yours so you basically know how to fill each other's bucket. On the other hand, to Love is to see yourself from the other person without the opposite. Without the need to satisfy the desire of your ego. When you no longer seek for that person to satisfy your desire and you now see the person as you, that is love. Thus, it is very important to learn how to love yourself, so...
