from the mind of critic-12/15/16

From the mind of critic: “If the world doesn’t revolve around us, who does it revolve around? Is the fact that we create our own reality, mean we create our own world, which in turn means our world revolves around us, just like everybody else’s world revolves around them? Or does the world simply revolve around the sun, and any attempt to correlate it to our emotional and mental maturity, is like putting human names, faces, characteristics, personalities and aspirations on animal cartoon characters, basically a way to make them more easily relatable to our daily lives? We’ve all heard from family, friends, coworkers or romantic partners that we aren’t the center of the universe, and the world doesn’t revolve around us. While this might be done to tap down our ego, so we don’t think we and everything we have to do is the most important thing for all of us, it can also have an extremely negative effect if we don’t take it the next step. Once we realize that creating our own reality means creating our own destiny, we’ll see that the next step is unique for all of us, because it involves finding our place, purpose and passion, which can only come when we see that we’re the center of our universe. Being centered and grounded can be how we find our place in the microcausum of the macrocausum. The universe doesnt revolve around us, specifically because it’s made up of our individual universe’s that do revolve around us. However, if we fail to see this collective struggle as what unites us in the idea that we’re all the same deep down, we won’t see how we’re all interconnected, and how our success is tied to everybody else’s financial, mental, and moral success. The world might not revolve around us, but the world does revolve around ALL of us” 🙂
