Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist: A German term meaning "spirit of the time." It refers to the moral and intellectual trends of a given era. (source: Gale)

We have always been practicing RECEIVING. We always receive signals, information and a wide range of different pleasures in senses. We tend to take things for granted because the world nowadays is just the fingertips away. We get to access to too many things and our head is filled with all sorts of things. We hardly know the true what in every what that we know. We are overwhelmed by the results of media and thought we are standing in front of the line.

We have always been practicing DEMANDING. We want more of what we desire than being happy with what we have. We take what we have for granted and reach out for greater satisfaction in getting what we have dreamed for. We seek ways to make what we want by manipulating others and always provide good reasons (excuses). We think we will be happy by having/owning more.

The thirst of WANTING will empower us with the urge to find happiness by locating and utilizing every possibility.

We have always been WE.

We thought we think through enough. We thought we understand well enough.

BUT, is it true?


Watch this movie and start restructure the brain. Perhaps it needs a vacation, so do you too. Just like Jimi Hendrix say,

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."


Do not belittle the power of "I want" that you have right now. It might seem small but the BIGS are always started with TINY.
