NORMALIZED MADNESS

Where there is no wisdom, anything can be expected. Madness is a distortion of what is thought, wanted and done, resulting in dangers or losses, whether in people, objects or animals.¿ What triggers counterproductive desires in someone, both for the subject himself and for those who are affected in some way ? The pursuit of personal gain without taking into account the impact on others or environment that breaks harmony ultimately leads to fatality.                                                                                                  The social environment is lacking in high ideals that provide a broad and clear vision of any context. Personal material interests and a basically labor based education lead to a reduced circle of horizons and relationships. In the daily whirlwind in search of the elemental, the constant repetition of disturbing elements of the multiple criminal forms, not being able to eradicate them, we accept them as inevitable evils due to our own individual impotence and that of those responsible for ensuring security. Thus thieves who have been arrested multiple times walk free. Squatters drive out the owners, and they are helpless by the laws. Banks, driven mad by profits, have long lost their decency by charging for services that does not involve any effort or expense for them. A considerable number of citizens support leaders who, instead of improving conditions, make them even worse with erratic measures and claims.And the poor service of valuable tools leading to madness such as risking your life for a photo that someone you don´t know will see. Or viral challenges that are dangerous to health and/or life that catch a lot of people where perhaps enthusiasm ends in tragedy. The list of stupidities is endless, , and the worst is the unconsciousness and lack of discernment. An evasive society that wants exciting experiences without measuring pros and cons, and once the action has begun we have lost control. Adding to that those who misappropiate possessions  or someone´s life blinded by selfish desires.

INFINITESIMAL RESIDUES

Infinitesimal residues is what remains at the end of the day. Diverse, varied occupations, and from all of this what benefit have we extracted ? Day by day we pass the test of subsistence by maintaning ourselves, with brief breaks and sustained activity. We want to preserve the physical presence but without transcendent ideals, simply going on without really knowing why, for what purpose or asking ourselves if what has been done and the intentions are adequate.                                                                                       Over the years we can meet dozens or hundred of people and how many of them have been significant ? How many have inspired us ? Most of them are insubstantial, just like the successive routines of each time.. How many events do we remember from a year ? How many are remarkable ? How many days have we been excited or excited about what we are doing in our current lives ? We want to live exciting experiences, but obligations, dependencies, concentration almost exclusive on mundane issues, together with limited knowledge focused on the work environment, keep this from happening. The day to day reduced to repetitive routines with a narrow margin of maneuver to get out of a forced circle, is simply to cover the file without knowing exactly what for and where it will all lead us.                                               Our potential can be great, but due to various factors it is reduced to the minimum expression. On all fronts possibilities remain in infinitesimal portions. What have we retained from what we studied as permanent knowledge ? From a conference considered interesting, what do we end up retaining ? From the daily diet we take advantage of the essential and the rest is eliminated. Everything remains in synthesis. Daily work, various activities, conversations, pass through a kind of filter so that what is useful in practice remains. This evidence should make us rethink what we invest our time in, the viability or not of certain efforts, what really nourishes us and what is dispensable, because if what is considered valuable is diluted to the maximum, the void of content is directly a loss.

DO CONSTANT RELATIONSHIPS IMPROVE AND SATISFY US ? ( II )

To be able to generate a relationship with the best possible coupling, it is necessary to fit in three fundamental aspects : being at the same height, going in the same direction and at the same speed.            The foundation of what is subsequently unleashed lies in thought. If one of the members has a high level, lofty ideals and the other moves away from these parameters, the foundation will shake and what may come next. It is important to go in the same direction. If the goals of one of the parties are quite different from the other, it will make it difficult to connect in common. And speed implies dynamism, initiative, and once again, if the other person is passive and conformist, it will be an obstacle to carrying out tasks together.                                                                                                                                                          It  all comes down to conversations, company and sharing resources. What substantial, instructive conversations usually prevail ? The company we want, so we don´t feel alone, to talk about how the day went ? And the maintenance resources that can be equitable or by one of the two.                                      Of all these components do conversations broaden the vision in perspective ? We teach, we learn, frequent contacts lead us to a gradual expressive polishing showing us more intelligent, more sensitive, attentive, considered ? Are resources used for the indispensable and mundane affairs or also for activities aimed at progressive development ? With these exposures, what percentage of relationships are or would be truly beneficial, improving over time and feeling satisfied ? The difficult thing would be to find them because the main thing is to be tied by emotional evaluations that hinder observing with the necessary breadth the possible advantages and disadvantages of the other person.                                                                          To experience high qualitative vibrations, we must first introduce them into ourselves, otherwise the exchanges will be mediocre, lacking true interest, only dabbling in the superficial.                                    How many are driven by beauty, sex, money, to have services, thinking about their own desires and interests but not about the other person, who possible do not tune in to the most fundamental thing, which is to feel true affection and strive to offer the best version, thinking precisely about the other person.

DO CONSTANT RELATIONSHIPS IMPROVE AND SATISFY US ( I )

There are relationships of the time where once they have fulfilled their role fade away. The school and work stage maintains bonds for years and when the time comes they end where each one preserves their independence. When we want to establish persistent bonds with a partner and/or children , the room for maneuver is conditioned by space, time and resources.                                                                                  What drives us to desire someone´s constant presence ? Charming words, certain actions, artistic skills, beauty ? Have we calculated the cost of these transfers for just a few hours a day ? Close and habitual ties aim to learn by fitting in the different singularities that come into play. This potential for growth is not reflected in facts because each person acts according to their own criteria.                                                  Why do we want to lose or sacrifice privacy and freedom by depriving ourselves of moments of recollection ? Because socially influenced, the idea of having a partner and/or children must involve rewarding emotional experiences, and this will depend on the temperament, the capabilities of the members, and observing the prevailing superficiality it is difficult to forge exciting situations.                  The longing for constant closeness is for love ? What kind of love ? Interested and selfish ? To give and share ? What can we give, what can we share ? For who are we are will show it, and if there are flaws and lack of quality, events will reflect it. No one can fill internal voids from the outside. Others are there for sporadic exchanges, only permanent contact with ourselves can make us better. Enjoying silence, peace and tranquility are the most precious intangible goods, and no one from the outside can give them to us.  Most people imagine, assume or believe that someone will introduce elements of insomnia, knowing that the charm of an attraction lasts a short time and boredom is what remains. We should not rush into mortgaging our lives. It is very easy to get involved, and difficult to untie the knot. 

TO DEFEND THE INDEFENSIBLE, TO CRITICIZE FOR THE SAKE OF CRITICIZING

That a limit vision prevails in the human race is evident. One only has to observe the nonsense that is said and done. Everyone believe they possess the truth, those who agree with certain forms and those who oppose them. The facts that shown clearly, would not give rise to doubt about whether is good or bad, right or wrong. The discrepancies between defenders and detractors are because there are interests or clearly a biased vision that prevents being equanimous.                                                                                You can´t defend the indefensible. When you transgress the laws of order, civility, commit crimes, destroy, invade foreign countries, harm others for personal gain, only someone cynical, insensitive and soul less can defend it.                                                                                                                                                  Criticizing for the sake of criticizing seems to be one of the favorite activities, not only of the usual politicians who never find any success in their opponent, while they are always impeccable. Now we must add the great understandings of the networks who seem professorial when their high level of shortcomings is obvious. Nothing edifying, everything is a reason for criticism. Too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, poorly dressed, and so on ad infinitum. ¿ What satisfaction do these comments bring ? ¿ Do they serve any purpose, especially to improve both the sender and receiver ? ¿ If not, why this anger, this disgust, for the simple fact that they don´t like certain things ? Are these talkers and writers absolutely perfect in every way ? Obviously not, starting with useless verbosity that doesn´t change anything and instead makes the environment dirty. What is said and what is done shows the level, and unfortunately, day to day, far from establishing harmony, only generates discord. 

TIME TO HAVE, TIME TO BE

We are because we have, we have because we are. They can not be separated because they represent the impulse and the manifestation. Being is the impulse from the invisible, and having is the seen in the visible of the abilities and resources. We want to be and we want to have, that the efforts have a goal beyond physical subsistence. Everyone is different and with their evolutionary level, but we all have to fight to cover deficiencies and dependencies. Not having in search of having is the engine of improvement forcing us to constant exchanges of supply and demand .Having must be useful, that it performs a service, and therefore we must ask ourselves : what do we want to have ? what do we want it for ? what use will make of it ? Society pushes us to have because of constant needs, and attending to these needs makes us not think about norishing the needs of being. Having is for external development, being for internal development, with the difference that having comes and goes, with ups and downs to finally leave everything behind. On the other hand, being is the eternal, unalterable values that always accompany us, giving meaning to the efforts and experiencies to improve our expressions.                                                  Immersed in the material, having to obtain various supplies, limited and conditioned by obligations to search for resources, one does not become conscious of intangible goods simply because they are too busy in the elemental where the majority has not internally forged the desire to live by spiritual guidelines and goals.                                                                                                                                                              Having must be a reflection of who we are. Predominate virtues or defects ? What emerges from within shows itself outwardly with its consequences, and it is up to us give it the appropriate direction and expressions if we want well being to prevail.                                                                                                Having must provide what is essential to have autonomy and access to quality, with the appropriate measures neither too much nor too little. Having is not the end, it is the intermediary between the internal and external, shaping talents in a fit between the personal and the collective.                                              First we focus on having to learn, offer services and have what we need. From maturity to old age, material interests diminish, because it is time to focus on individual cultivation with the true purpose beyond a worldly life and material goods.

CONSTANT DISTRACTION IS NOT THE WAY

We have come to produce and be useful to access resources and have maximum autonomy. Each day has several facets, and if we want to take advantage of it, requires our attention and concentration. What has been achieved through study and work efforts has been through concentration. It is clear  that most of the day requires attention to act correctly, where not doing so often lead to losses, dangers or accidents.          Distraction or dispersion is being and not being. In what we want to do in what surround us, movements must be precise at the relevant time, and any or dispersion is a threat.                                                          Fun can be synonymous with distraction if the underlying theme leads to having fun, and many people associate distraction with fun when we are not immersed in obligations or routine repetitions. Distractions must occupy a small space, because the important is to be productive.                                                          Why do we want to be distracted ? Why don´t we like everyday life ? To experience sensations that attract more than the daily routine ? Need to escape ? From what, from work, from certain people ? If we are not satisfied with what we have achieved, from the outside we will not. Brief episodes that disconnect us from the usual order that fade or evaporate once they end without true nourishment.                                            Why do people get bored ? Because they expect more that they want or imagine and are not able to offer it. The superfluous, transient, what depends on others comes and goes and leaves no trace.Only a constant work of study and introspection to maximize our development will make us feel comfortable without craving distractions.                                                                                                                                         Hours and hours wasted on sterile occupations are not distraction as most understand it, they do not make to feel better or allow you to expand learning or consciousness, which are fundamental to increasing quality.

START AND START OVER TO MAKE IT BETTER

Start and start over is the constant tone of what surrounds us in our activities. Alternating between day and night, action and rest, fractioned spaces of time to dedicate to what we need, adjusting to the appropiate schedules for each occupation.                                                                                                                        A lot of repetition to maintain or increase what is essential, with the feeling of stagnation if significant progress is not made according to the efforts. If we observe what is being done, we can ask ourselves : are we making progress from one year to the next ? what have I improve in a decade ? Am I basically dedicating to surviving or expanding my global potential ? Technically, the progress of the usual tools compared to a century ago is obvious. Performing the same tasks but with much better performance. However, reviewing behavior and goals, we continue to repeat the same paterns that lead to conflicts without seeing trends that can reverse it because if we don´t get to the root and want to modify obstructive behaviors, we will start over and over again in a multitude of areas that will keep us stuck, unable to break the inertia.                                                                                                                                                        Surely everyone wants to improve in one or more aspects, the question is : why we don´t improve ? Due to selfish approaches, to the ignorance of our internal center by focusing on the external and yearning for the strictly worldly aspirations.                                                                                                                             Every new day is different with opportunities to expand, where obligations, limitations, robotic repetition, allow us to maintain or increase resources, in a constant dynamic of coming and going, beginnings and endings, without asking ourselves what is best for us in all of this, that we can incorporate, what we should leave behind. Introducing expansive variants on a peronal level is our challenge, just as machines that have progressed and provide us with service and comfort. External material tools allow us what was unimaginable in a distant time, now is it a matter of applying it to ourselves so that health, relationships and the way we express lead to establishing harmony.

THE CUMBERSOME AND HEAVY MEANWHILE

Why do we value a certain heavy and cumbersome context ? Because we don´t like according to our criteria, values and idyosincrasies. The same background theme can be opposed or indifferent to others, consequently perception, sensations and personal influences determine it.                                                    We would like everything go to according to our will, but we are immersed  in a social context, dependencies are constant, and we have to adapt to people and situations continuosly. Each one occupies a place and has certain characteristics and functions, what is important is knowing how to fit into the environment and carry out the individual task in the best way.                                                                        In the learning and development processes there will be long and heavy stages and other pleasant and fluid ones. They are part of the whole, it is about seeing the heavy and that it shows, the message and the room for maneuver if possible so as not to experience it as a burden.                                                                     Situations, the environment we find ourselves in, relationships and conditions are not accidental, they are to broaden the perspective and able to replace unsatisfactory patterns with those conducive to greater harmony. Sometimes may be health, others money and assiduosly relations. There are precedents that determine it, it is a matter of seeing the cause and modifying positions. The heavy and cumbersome presents itself to us to strengthen, and if the effort is minimal we do not advance, and the test is more demanding to access other levels.                                                                                                                   The cumbersome and heavy due to social, political or cultural conditions, they have a purpose to work on us, whether it is patience, concepts, fitting in or rebelling, a path of trials that can last indefinitely. 

SUBSTITUTIONS

To replace is to change one thing for another, not only in material aspects, but also to move from a previous situation to a later one.                                                                                                                      Time indicates movement and change, We can not remain static, and each new scenario is to complete the previous one or start new ones. From one second to the next, from one minute, one hour to the one that follows, the substitutions do not stop, the important is what we do with continuity and modifying variants. From childhood to youth, the maturity and old age. Physical support , the ability or not to think, feel and act is conditioned by the different ways of observing, valuing and projecting due to the accumulation of experiences and the impact on us. We can not be the same permanently, The obvious physical changes must be accompanied by a potential expansion that shows greater breadth of horizons and maturity.           We always rely on bases that act as support, what we replace is related to transitory factors that are were the action aimed at executing the purpose of individual development with the corresponding improvements take place.                                                                                                                                The principles are unchangeable, They tell us how to proceed, from one context to another, where we must strive so that similar repetitions add a quality bonus.                                                                                        Nature is the reflection of what we have to do. We go from day to night, from night to day, from one season to another, from activity to rest, each one has its function, and the challenge is to learn, to broaden our perspective, so that in the new season, in the new day, we have taken advantage of what its peculiarities offer.                                                                                                                                            Everything flows, therefore whoever wants to cling to relationships, conditions or privileges is pinching themselves. Appreciating what we have, changing if it necessary, and adapting continuously, there is no other way.
