WHEN THOUGHTS ARISE
AFTER A KALARI PRACTICE SESSION:
Written by practioner Aneesh:College Student.
Life is about taking unique paths in order to find oneself and learn and grow. Everything else is a societal or social construct in life. What is important is how we think of ourselves and how we evolve according to the energies of the universe. It's not as important how we are perceived by society as it is not important. The old school one encourages uniqueness and individuality over people agreeing over something just for the sake of agreeing.
Modern teachers perhaps lack the knowledge and patience to teach us, or perhaps they are there somewhere, somehow, to some extent of what they don’t even know and are pushing into us the same system without any questions and foresight of improvement and evolution of the students' thoughts, which is truly the most beautiful thing about life how energy works in the core and foundation of everything in the universe.
Anyone claiming they are just one energy is suppressing themselves from the beauty of exploration and self though people wearing a mask and pretending to be something they are not. It is the tragedy of philosophy. There is no right or wrong life is circumstantial and unique for each of us, regardless of prejudices or biases. What matters is that we truly learn and grow as people and understand who we are. Perhaps that is what helps one find meaning in life.
