Rethinking

Lately i've being feeling a little different, more at peace with everything, at peace with myself. I've come to understand so many things i didn't in the past. I think what is going on around me, in the world in general can put anyone's life in a different perspective. Most of people want success and fame, or money or at least have enough of it to get you through life without much problem. And most of the people that migrate from their home countries have the same goals, do what they can't in their countries, sometimes at the cost of having most of the people and things you love far away from you. In my case, i've been blessed with everything i've got by living here and I'm not complaining at all about my life. Im happy with what i've done and what i have. But stepping out of my comfort zone and looking around and seeing so much destruction, so much hate, irresponsibility towards our planet and everything in it, the desire of money and power, corruption, cruelty, manipulation etc, has made me rethink everything, rethink my future, what i want to do or how i want to live. I hate being part of such destruction, i became vegan so i won't be part of all the animal cruelty that is going on around me, and now what else can i do to feel at peace completely with myself? The first thing that came to my mind is little by little getting rid of the materialistic needs we all have, the less we need the more we have, the happier we become. Humans don't need much to be happy, in the true sense of happiness. But of course society creates necessities for us and we accept them, and we want more and more of everything we don't need. We don't need luxury cars, big houses, fancy cellphones, laptops, flat screen TVs or video games. We don't need any of that. We only create that need, helped by the media that feed us with brainwashing ideas that makes us slaves to materialistic needs. I've started a journey that i now its going to be hard, but not impossible. I'm going to try my best (and hopefully succeed) to get rid of all the materialistic needs i have and try to live with what i really need, connecting with nature and having the less impact on it possible, and focus on what is actually important and will make me a truly happy person, only the love and company of family and true friends, those moments that stay in your mind like a tattoo and your soul gets warm and fuzzy every time you remember them.

Its gonna take a while but I'm sure is extremely worth it.
