Truth and Consciousness

Have you prepared yourself well enough to accept those truths that you already know as we become aware of such truths after a certain age (but we keep denying them) or do you still resist while accepting the same? Accepting the truth is never painful, only the resistance to accepting it is painful.

You also know the truth of this mortal life

seems so small since its inception

and have not changed its nature

remain at a standstill.

But deep enough in its meaning

containing as many interpretations

as many unfold it.

You hear it very often and repetitively

despite this, denial is the resort-

you choose preferably.

A corollary of which is revenge

what you consider appropriate

for others’ wrongdoings;

which is never righteous at any time.

With the lost consciousness of being who you are

carrying the baggage of the motivations

which are so unreal and not yours.

You act in order to wish to liberate yourself

vicious cycle is the place where you finally held.

Have you realized

who build up your mentalities and your consciousness;

and who drives your motivations?

If there is something unjustifiable you find

Erase it and place ‘YOURSELF’ instead.
