Letter to my unborn son

Life is a two edge sword, son. You lose some and you win some. Keep your losses low, wait for the winning string and gain the maximum of it.

Real life is a pavement of pain and struggle with the greedy demons inside you - this is the road to lose the illusions that guard you psychic, are you ready to face the truth?

First of all you better understand that nobody can clear the things out of you... This is the task of yours, to differentiate the true and lies... to see what works for you.

You live in dual world which is both artificial and real. Documents you hold are fake.  States, names, laws, borders exist only in paper and in people heads. You are told to go to school to gain useless knowledge that won’t make you happy, rich or beloved person.

The real world is the health of your body and mind. Forget about all bull s**t you taught in school and see on TV. What you really need is peace with yourself and the world around you.

For that reason you should acquire the real knowledge of who you are and about the world around you. To get that knowledge you should choose the craft that is in unison with you and master it. Any craft is a null game of positive and negative chances so being a master means to gain more that you lose.

Losses are inevitable and constant - you should learn how to stay cool and keep losses low that will allow to gain the winning advantage. So you should look for mistakes, misdoings and learn to solve or avoid them.  Mistakes, losses are your teachers.

The first mistake is to believe in social world around you. The second mistake is to believe that you can achieve perfection in mastery. You can’t. The life will continue to hit you and you can only learn to survive the consequences of such negative occasions.  And there will be people who will wait the bad times and will want to make you weaker. They will try to seed the doubts and disbelieve among people who trust you.

So remember you are not perfect and you can’t avoid the negative side of existence. The power is the knowledge, the truth that brings food security and peace. It is the respect trust and love of people around you. Think about people- serve them, but remember that it will bring enemies too. Life is a two edge sword.

Your real enemies are not people - its  greed and fear that make them aggressive and stupid. Wise commitment to others makes you more human than animal. Be wise, strive to peace with others and if necessary get rid of your enemies carefully.

Life is a two edge sword. You will need a woman who loves you. Find yourself the woman who will not ruin you but will inspire you and will make you happy. Don’t give birth to children before you can secure a good life for them, before you get enough wisdom and integrity.

I am always drawn to how people see balance in everything in any piece I read. This piece really catch my attention. Perhaps this is the third time I have read something like this, a letter towards their son. And all of them were heart-warming, this one on the way, yet I needed to point out something.

I do believe you are right. When you see duality in everything, life is a two edge sword.

“Real life is a pavement of pain and struggle with the greedy demons inside you”

How true is that. Real life starts within you, on how you handle the things that affects your being. How our choices shapes up the roads we take. Real life isn’t easy, but it is bearable and happy when you know your own right path.

“You live in dual world which is both artificial and real. Documents you hold are fake. States, names, laws, borders exist only in paper and in people’s heads. You are told to go to school to gain useless knowledge that won’t make you happy, rich or beloved person.”

You are right, but I don’t believe that what we learned in school is useless. We must not forget, school teaches us language and some arts, teach us socialize to friends with same interest, helps us how to read and many more. Yeah it may not be the real world, but it is a preparatory for us. It shapes our knowledge but not in full extent. Maybe because schools have some limitations and rules which limits broader learning about real life outside it. We all know our parents doesn’t have much time to teach us many things about books, school does that.

I think the good advice will be: “Go to school and learn many things, socialize, learned, understand and read more. But be prepared, real-life doesn’t starts at school but outside of it is where all things begun.”

“The real world is the health of your body and mind. Forget about all bull s**t you taught in school and see on TV.”

I do agree TV has a lot of disadvantages, yet not all. I believe that health is important, and in that points you are right.

“peace with yourself and the world around you”

That is really a good advice. I believe that peace of mind and peace of self brings calm, freedom and good judgement upon others and self.

“So you should look for mistakes, misdoings and learn to solve or avoid them. Mistakes, losses are your teachers.”

Mistakes are part of life’s choices. Usually it’s the after effects of what we done wrong. Mistakes are great teachers, it shapes us on how to handle the future events. Mistakes are not to be search or to look upon, they come as they go, they come unknowingly or unexpected. By learning to understand and accept what you’ve done, that will be our building blocks to be a better person and better in choosing the choices that will not harm our heart & mind, physical health, self and the people around us.

“The life will continue to hit you and you can only learn to survive the consequences of such negative occasions.”

So true, Life is also about survival, when there is mistakes, there is consequences. So once we done something wrong, we can never avoid the consequences of our choices. To survive it, acceptance, learning to cope up on life and never give up. Life is too short to give-in to the short-comings and negative occasions. I learned that there will always be a up ahead struggles, life is a lifetime of challenges so to say, giving up means you surrender to your demons.

“So remember you are not perfect and you can’t avoid the negative side of existence.”

So true, though we can never avoid the negative side of existence, we learned to accept its facts and be done with it to go on onto the next phase of life. There are many phase of life, it’s how we grow as an individual.

“Your real enemies are not people - its greed and fear that make them aggressive and stupid. Wise commitment to others makes you more human than animal.”

Wow, nice one… I also want to add that, real enemies also lurks inside of you, so we need to learned how to fight our own demons.

“Life is a two edge sword. You will need a woman who loves you. Find yourself the woman who will not ruin you but will inspire you and will make you happy. Don’t give birth to children before you can secure a good life for them, before you get enough wisdom and integrity.”

The ending was really quite nice and a good advice towards your future children. I see that you’re a believer of balance and so am I. Sorry about the long essay about your piece, I just love talking about life itself. It makes me look at things more clearly in your views as I understand mine as well.. Great job. save to faves.
