POPPING BUBBLES

I have been in cambodia for over a month and a half, my time is going quite fast. But I can truthfully say that not one day has been wasted, and that every day, every expierience teaches you about life, in a way that only life knows

These past couple months have made me relize that the world is not a pink bubble where life is beautiful and everyone whats to help each other with no reward in return, NO.

The world is a cruel cruel place, people take advantage of those who have no means to defend or protect themselves. 

Ambicion consumes us until we have lost all of our humanity, money gives us nothing but mortal pleasure and for what? To be able to participate in consumerism.

But we all fall for it we all belive we need expensive cars, and tv's, and we all think that we deserve it, and that it will make us happy. But it never does, so we think that its cause we didn't get the best car, and we look at our neighbors and want what they have, we enter this "game" of who has the best life, who is happier, who has more things. No one enjoys playing, but we all still do.

As ashamed as I am I have to say that I am guilty of playing this "game" and the thing is you never win, no one ever does. "The grass on the neighbors yard is always greener", their will always be someone prettier than you, someone wealthier, and why would you care, how does that affect you? 

At the end of the day what truly makes us happy is not the cars and the phones it's making others happy. And how can you do this? You can help, you have no excuse to not help. I have no excuse to not help, my excuse has always been when I'm older, but why? Why not help now, in what little you can.

Its easy to look at someone who has more money than you and say "you should help more". But instead of looking at someone else you the person who is reading this YOU should help more, and don´t help so that others see that you help, help for yourself cause helping and making people see that they are worth something this is what will make you truly happy not your iphone or your bmw.

That happiness is not true happines, true happines comes from the heart and the only way of reaching it is through people, by helping them and loving them that is when you have truly done something important, that is when you have reached your true potential. 

And in that moment when you look back on your life and see all that you have done, that is when you reach inner peace, and for anyone who has already expierinced this knows that right then in that moment that is what happines is. That is what people are looking for in all the wrong places.

If you are sitting here reading and thinking, I'm too young to help or maybe I'm too old,or too poor, you know deep down that that is a lie, you are not too anything, you are you, and you can help more than you think if you set your mind to it. 

I'm too tired to keep going so I will leave it here for now.
