Series: Reality and Acceptance

"Reality hits hard - nothing is more powerful than realising what actually keeps this world working the way it is. Reading up on history only serves to reinforce this idea.

There is a reason why people love the arts - it allows the most beautiful side of humanity to come through. And through that you can create that by having a place where people can share their ideas honestly and without judgement.

Ignorance is truly bliss, but true happiness is from a choice of following your beliefs and never losing hope and never getting jaded. It will forever be a battle to keep one's dreams alive in view of reality, to make use of everything as tools rather than an end in itself, to reach one's true dreams. That's why the arts are so powerful, for it's the championing of this struggle.

Reality, I accept you and take you on with all my heart." - 8th October

"The art of living is about acceptance, yet changing, of reality. We cannot change what we can't accept, because acceptance is the first key of true understanding, and therefore being able to effectively comprehend the true meaning behind any action or norm. If not, one simply just begins a destructive path which leads to laying waste of good systems already in place. It is, at the end of the day, all about balance and patience, because nothing is more powerful than a genuine, well-intended push for change, bit by bit, day by day." - 10th October morning

"When you begin to accept reality, you realise how sheltered you've been and how blind you've been. And the shock of reality is often more painful because nothing in our education was preparing us for it... What's worse is that the more I understand it, the more I realise that we are encouraged to be blind.

What do you do when your eyes open wide, and realise that what you suspected all along was true?" - 10 October Night
