safety comes first

In this world we always seek safety. That means we don't feel safe. No wonder. If you have eyes and a clear mind, then you understand it's not safe at all. But the most difficult part is to accept that. So we create a creator. Even the biggest scientists, and especially them who go to the core of it all, give in in the end, and start to feel there must be a power behind it all.

And yes, power there is, plenty of it, and we like to feel it, and use it. Hence comes the misunderstanding, we tend to mix power and authority with safety. Some play roles all their lives. Choose someone you feel safe with. Make someone believe they're safe with you. Work for someone because you think it's safe, until you find out it's not. Some people like, or maybe make themselves believe that they like, to do dangerous things. Others do things against the law, some of them only to show that they can.

For instance, I personally like, to curse, also aloud and in public, because I believe it's a totally stupid taboo, and also for me it works as a fantastic stress reliever. I also love to turn to sex for the same reasons. And as I am gay, I think most would look upon sex then as an even bigger taboo. Their choice, but if all would focus on how many lives are, and have been destroyed by taboos, and abuse, even legally, officially, then people would understand what we actually all know. Restrictions will make even a child want to do whatever it applies to. And no, now I'm not saying legalize murder.

What I'm trying to say is if we would try to understand and accept each other as we are, and do the same with the world instead of over-analyzing and explaining without asking those concerned, the world could be a much better place. Then we could be much closer to reality, and to be able to accept it, thus feel safer.

Only if we could simply live and let others live, instead of being violent in a sofisticated or other way, or by setting up unwritten laws to make life a living hell for those who don't want to "go with the flow". It would make it so much easier for us all to be our real selves, instead of trying to be someone else than we are for someone else who wants us to be like that, in a made up world based on made up values.

Maybe then there would be a chance that we could live in a safe world. A world that we've been trying to change with false feelings and lies to ourselves and others, so long that we'd almost completely forgotten how it was really like.
