I have been thinking about all the great people and what they stuggled to do for example Nelson Mandela fighting for the end of aparthied and Toussaint L'Ouverture who fought the British, the Spanish and the french to make Haiti then San Domingo the first black slave Republic. He was a slave with no power and managed to raise and army etc.
Personally I think fighting for your country, fighting repression or battling racism or sexism are noble causes. But i think on the other end of the spectrum if you want to fight something negative and destructive its important to have your own positive vibes and support systems so you don't turn into your enemy or lose you own mind.
Reading Nelson Mandelas autobiography he had thousands of things to keep him in good mind. He says he read lots of books that were smuggled in to the prision when he had been imprisioned. He also sand lots of songs and him and his friends who had also been imprisioned with him held lots of educational meetings where each person who tell the rest his knowledge for example the history of south africa, zulu dancing, etc.
I listern to lots of positive music which helps me through tough times and i talk to my parents about things on my mind. I think these are some good things you can do to keep yourself alive and able to cope with the many demands and pressures in life.
Back to the Original question "what do you strive for?" This is about what do you think are good values or morals to lead a good life. Christians follow the ten commandments...
and i follow my own philosophys.
I think that what you think about most, what you study makes you who you are. This for me makes education important. If you still have the skills to make mistakes and learn from them and have an open mind then you will continue to develop your character. I don't think anyone ever reaches the point when they have learnt enough. When they have found the way and dont want to know anything more. The process of finding new things or remembering old things and not getting it right is fundamentally important to living well.
I strive for educating myself and the understanding and acceptance of everyone.
What does everyones else think? Does anyone agree that it is essential to keep learning and seeking things that you like?
I went to church and the preacher said you must keep seeking the lord. You must emmerse youself in the Lord. I am not a christian but I can relate to the idea of filling yourself with positive energy.
Peace.
