ON BEING ALIVE



We can't truly be ourselves and yet be accepted for our entirety. Our existence has elements that deeply conflict with that of others. These conflicts lie dormant when we stay quiet, suppress ourselves, and conform to norms. These conflicts with others are bound to come to surface when we express our deepest selves. 

But, Should the fear of fallout of these conflicts make us suppress ourselves to the extent of dehumanisation?
Should we value peace and stability more than our aggregate aliveness?

Answers to this are highly subjective, but one truth I'm sure of from my experiences is that:

SUPPRESSION IS MORE REGRETTABLE THAN MISCONSEQUENTIAL EXPRESSION.

Live, fall, fly.

P.S.:
This is not to suggest you to yell at every person you are annoyed by. But to say that it never hurts to communicate what matters to you. First seek to understand, then to be understood. And, in case you fail - Don't regret not being able to explain yourself to someone. We are a planet of 7 billion comparable fools. It's quite understandable if one fool couldn't comprehend the folly of another fool. Don't crave to be understood. Calmness lies is in learning to be okay with not being understood. Exist loudly, calmly, blissfully.
