Life is a box of chocolates! Oh really?

Life is like a box of chocolates. It is also like a tree, or a leaf, or a plane trip, or a vacation, or anything anyone can come up with. Metaphors can be vast and expansive or specific and useless. Life... is it just about living? It seems the true fact, there is no evidence to state that there is afterlife or even before-life, who am I and what will happen after death? Unconsciousness? It matters not, yet it is the most important question of life.

Death is something we all must come to terms with. So why is it such taboo? People shy away from talking about it. The ego in us that feels despair at the death of a loved one, despair at losing the positive effects of said person in one's life. That is the true problem, it impedes progress of the soul and the truth of acceptance of death and of acceptance of self. The ego, isn't a true form of human. Self is inherently tied into the mind, yet feelings are no simple matter and also tied into the ego, for both stem from the brain. The processes in the brain can be explained with time, the theories are truly irrelevant until we know all, and that will take an unknowable amount of time. What matters is what you believe. Men and women of all kinds who believe in a higher power other than themselves are fooling themselves, and each other. One can find one's own true power by searching within self, questioning and criticizing one's thoughts so as to reveal the true nature of self. And once the realization of the selfish ego is fulfilled, a road to enlightenment has been discovered. The realization that you are not powerless.

This realization comes from many things, but I will explain it through perspective. One may think that since we are so insignificantly small when it comes to the entire universe, we are inconsequential... this despair naturally brings forth a yearning for an explanation that will comfort us. To this I say:
Have we not come far enough to realize as a common fact that we could not possibly know, as we are now, whether or not there is a higher power.
My point is, that perspective does not matter, concerning oneself about the entire universe is useless, and the perspective of the mind must be changed to the truth. You are one being, on a planet, with other beings, and you've been given incredible powers. The power to speak, the power to walk and think, the power to outwit anything we have encountered. The power to analyze and the incredible power to feel. These powers are just like those of a God. We are all of us gods!

Respect comes from the definition of what a god is, after accepting the fact that you and everyone around you is a god, then one realizes that one cannot hurt a god, one need not hurt a god, because one is a god and why hurt the self?
Masochism is not a normal state. It is the disconnection and reconnection of the receptors of pleasure and pain through empirical experiences resulting in the mixing of these receptors and the eventual masochist mind. There are many minds that have problems, I dare say most do. These can range widely and it will not be purposeful to speak in detail about them. Needless to say that we can actually choose and decide not to become any of these minds, disgusting, feral, viral and corrupt minds, even after transformation into such a state. The decision must be followed through with help from your mind.
(I am speaking about people without chemical imbalances or any other affliction of the brain.)

The mind is a tool to follow up any intentions. The problem with it is that its capacity is so massive, that our self-characterized self does not feel it is able to cope with so many things, so many thoughts, so many feelings, when in reality, we can do that and much more through intent. Intent is a choice, it is a state of mind that is always in chaos, for we can only control it so far as we believe. And we are taught that sometimes things are beyond our control, which is wrong.
The practice of that train of thought will reveal people a new form of altruism. Not even altruism. Something that cannot be described because there are no words. Words can never come close to any real emotion, feeling, thought. There is a need to devise a deeper way of communication, including hand gestures, definition of tonality in speech, and language. That will not be done
without the will of the majority, and the embrace and evolution of Esperanto or a similar language.

The solution is so simple, am I blind?

It is not easy to change one's way of thought, but the fact that one chooses to realize that one must do so itself is half the battle and once a mind is open, new ways of thinking and new perspectives become clear and obvious, choosing a path that is right for oneself becomes as easy as it is to breathe. The idea grows in ones mind once they have accepted the idea of complete control.

The expression "god among men" is offensive to my nature. I am god, and so is every man/woman. God among gods is appropriate. Define god you ask. In a short simple phrase, which should require no explanation, god is life.
