Ok look some of this is just me as a fan rambling. But mortal kombat does have some valuable insight and wisdom.
Especially the older games and movie.
Because what it used to be based after.
(Srry im a sucker for philosophy and spirituality. Humanities and what makes people well people.)
Mortal kombat wisdom that has always stuck with me. (Mostly from the 95 movie)
"Mortal kombat isn't about death,but life"
To be thankful and celebrate life. The end and beginning of a new. It's not always literal death(tho there's a lot of that too in mortal kombat. Lol) but the end of a chapter. It's not always easy,Frankly it's the hardest damn thing. But it's important. But where one ends. Another begins. What new,exciting,and beautiful things will this new chapter bring?
Who knows. But it's worth writing,creating,and sculpting it.
Don't be discouraged. Keep your head held high and keep going.
"Face your enemies,face yourself,face your worst fear"
These are indefinite trials.
These are lifelong struggles. You will have to do these over n over. There are moments of peace but kombat is always ready. Storms come and go.
Face your enemies. To face whatever obstacles. Opposition. Big,small,don't matter. Face them with courage,grace,and hope. Do not rush,assess it. And when it needs to strike. Do it.
Face yourself. The hardest of the 3. Yourself is the worst enemy,and the greatest friend. You must look at yourself. And say "what do i need today?" "How can i tend to my energy today?" These things are important. It's hard,but never impossible. You can't neglect yourself. Whether you are in a "good mood" or "bad mood" . If you need to check yourself if it's negative. Do it. If you need to spread positivity. Do it. Do not do it if it doesn't flow with you. If it doesn't flow naturally with your energy. In other words. Dont do it if it doesn't feel right.
Face your worst fear. Whatever you fear it could happen. It also might not. But either way we need to hope and have faith for the best. Prepare for the worst. And it's always gonna be messy. Nothing is easy.
But the greatest treasures? Never are.
And some day you will look back and say. "Wow look how far I've come. And look at all there is more to learn!"
I hope y'all never stop hungering for knowledge and life. 💖✌🏻💯
Anyways. Enough rambling.
Not just with writing but take them into your everyday life.
