The Birth: A Reflection

Speaking about life, we need to start talking about nothing more than its beginning; the birth of its existence. How these things had started has been documented and preserved by the past, in order for the present and the future to understand the essence of their whole being. History is indeed part of one's life that cannot be avoided. It connects your life with your past and leads you to track the path towards your desired direction.

We also cannot deny the fact that history itself is the root af all that are happening in our present state. Our norms, movements and concepts of morality are based from what others have done before. It is a compilation of ideas of what were happening to those people who came before us. Their struggles and aspirations led to coming up with what are we having and following today. We've learned from them, and the metamorphosis of life will continue like this to the infinity as the world continues to travel through time.


But wait, before you finally find out yourself embracing the royalty of history in your life, try to twist its pages and see the other side of it. While it is a known fact that history helps a lot in order to know almost the totality of the worlds identity, it is also a known knowledge that as stories traveled through time, additions and omissions are happening along the way. And before it reaches to its initial destination (which is the present period; and initial because it will again travel to future generations if it will not suffer its own natural death) a new story, little bit similar to the original one, is already formulated. And you got it, it is the same newly develop story that most, if not all, of us keeps on believing and worst applied in our respective lives.

However, this writer will then again emphasize the keyword “RESPECT.” Whether you believe that what are you following is the right one or not, it's up for you...and I respect that. What I am trying to highlight in this readings are the following: Why not try investigating about these socially - accepted principles. Though they are sort of soft laws, they are the ones that religiously followed by people acting in the society compared to various municipal laws (considering that both are products of the same actors in the society); Why swallow the ideas which are bitter pills? Don't say that you can do nothing about it, that it already existed prior to your existence in this planet..definitely you have your way out.

Existing Ideas, Beliefs, Norms, whatever you call the others are all products of social formation-formulations of the past coupled with massive promotions and eventually accepted by the majority. Why not you give a start at your end, investigate, learn, formulate, and promote (don't just simply accept the outputs from the past, do the inputs for the future).
