Role confusion

We are brought up to feel guilty if we do not act in accordance with the expectations of others.
...
Have you ever noticed that no one asks you: “What do you feel deep in your heart? What would be the true reaction at this moment on you part?”.
...
Let’s imagine a world when everybody is honest. Think of a place where we are not marked as “naughty, little mischief-makers” at the age of forty, just because we have different ideas about life than our parents, partners, or so-called friends.
...
What would happen if we step out of our “good-girl/good-boy” role, which was built up by ourselves to gain our relatives’ love?
What kind of love lays down conditions to us? What sort of love expects that you become a prostitute, a beggar, a faithless person just to win acceptance instead of natural unity?
...
Conformance is very destructive not only because it misleads us. We may believe that our heart leads us toward to other people but in fact, only the desire drives us into different soul-destroying situations. Each suppression causes illness. If you are not loyal to yourself, there is no chance to live a happy life.
...
If you want to live a rich LIFE - instead of a poor imitation – you have to fight for your freedom. You inflict wounds and you get wounded in a revolution, because the ego cannot tolerate when you become conscious.
...
You cannot be responsible for other’s feelings.
The one who uses emotional blackmail to hold back your development is not just selfish but he/she is a victim of his/her own vampirism. If you accept this act, you make both of you lie. It is about dependency not about love.
...
You are your parents’ child whilst they are alive. Do not try to save them, because this is not your mission. Every child who tries to save his/her parents is fated to fail. The parents’ ego cannot accept any help, because it uses his/her child’s presence as a cure against monophobia. The reason is simple: this parent has not grown up - he/she has been begging his/her parents’ love since he/she was born. He/she tries to make good the casualties with you.
The above is true of possessive partnership and pretentious friendship too.
The mutual dependence is the most unnatural state and it always brings suffering, even if you disagree with this. Freedom is the only way to happiness.

Let yourself go

Do you try to let it all hang out sometimes? Does your life’s every manifestation take its origin from conformity and your self-image that formed over the years?
…
Do you let your thoughts go providing an opportunity for your divine being to complete itself? Do you always keep yourself in check according to the external world?
…
If you live your life according to external expectations instead of live in the moment then it is not so late to turn toward meditation (before your suppressions cause illness and bring painful catharsis).
…
You cannot play part with impunity for a long time. The life is not about this – it is about the inner Freedom and the self-realisation. If you do not recognise it before the curtain comes down, the death will be an excruciating pain instead of the opportunity of the enlightenment for you.
…
Everybody is afraid of death.
Have you ever looked into the mirror saying that: “I am a mortal being, as anybody else”? If you have not done it then you should try it. It is a critical life event. It is paralyzing. As long as you accept your Eternity.
