Disillusion

And there it came: disillusion. A blessing! A good thing! If you think of the deepest hidden meaning of the word disillusion, you will see it´s nothing more than dis-illusion.  Meaning one was living in a world full of illusion and now they are back to reality. Almost like if one was incubated inside a soap bubble and once it blows apart (because it always will), they are free to see the world as it really is again. No one wants to live in a fantasy world but still, once you are in it, you don´t realize you are raving. It is only by going through the process of disillusion, you can gain your sanity again.  Disillusion is the medicine, not the pain.

Some people can´t take drastic changes. They shut down and can never recover. And instead of going back to reality, they create a parallel world, as illusory as the previous one, and drown themselves in fear and anger. Well, not me! I will always take disillusion as an opportunity to build a new life; a better life, since a lesson was learnt.

Personally, I cannot understand why people are so afraid of disillusions. It is a beautiful process that has less to do with endings and more to do with beginnings. And there it came again: Disillusion, my dear, I have been waiting for you! My passport for freedom!

Time

So poor are the people who think that the most valuable asset in life is money. I like to think it´s time. There is really nothing more precious than time. And when I think about the conception of time, I cant help being blown away by the perfection of the universe. There is really nothing more democratic than time. We all get the same period of 24 hours in one day. It doesn´t matter if you are rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, famous and successful or not: you get the same amount of time during the course of a day as anyone else in this planet. You are free to use it as you like it, but you cant trade it, you cant buy more, you cant save it for later. Each second lost is unrecoverable. Lucky are the few human beings who recognize how valuable time is and use it to actually do things that will bring them happiness. Those are the ones who can actually say they´ve truly lived their lives. The rest only drown themselves into the boredom of existence.
