WORD OF ART

More Manifesto

Don’t just work hard, work smart, laugh more, when it comes to water-drink more and ultimately love more. Don’t just exist-LIVE!!! Be in control of your destiny, try your best not to take more than you give and be careful what you take in as it may be detrimental to what you take out. Drink more water, time is more than just money use it well-family time should be at the top of your list. Listen to more music, read more, draw more, rap more. Watch more documentaries, do more of the things that make you happy, find more stand-up comedians and watch more movies. Find other artistic ways to express yourself and if you change, let it be for the better. Also make sure that you keep a positive outlook when it comes to life, regardless of the challenges you may face-don’t forget to pray and let God deal with whatever you can’t handle, unhealthy stress should stop. Shift the paradigm, make earth paradise, change lives, change minds, be more of yourself and less of what people think of you.

Life in the 21st Century

Media has influenced the way people see themselves and has resulted in them not believing in themselves because media often shows the ideal life that is flawless and perfect. This has resulted in human beings feeling down/useless because they do not fit media’s representation of what it means to live in the 21st century.

Although people now have access to a lot of knowledge and information, the amount of information that is spread across the world has also lead to people being misinformed and desensitized. This is because the information is hardly verified and certain media outlets set agendas to have people focussing on certain issues whilst overlooking other aspects of the issue. The constant displaying of violence and other social ills has influenced the way people react to certain incidents today because their reality has been completely altered.

The current state of the human condition has seen a decrease in the rates of suicide in a lot of parts of the world, even though there’s been an increase in depression and anxiety amongst other things, the modern lifestyle has resulted in people spending less time together and showing less compassion. This is because everyone is so busy glued up on their phones/laptops that they end up spending so much time there to a point that they end up forgetting the fact that they have an actual life without a phone.

Because of how we live our lives, lately a glass of water everyday seems almost impossible for us, as we prefer takeaways/junk and the food we consider healthy is processed. In this day and age, we hardly exercise or go for a jog, we always trying to find shortcuts. Life in the 21st century has resulted in social media being a tool for others to express their opinions freely but it has also led to cyberbullying and a lot of con artists. The sense of privacy/exclusivity is slowing dying as people constantly post about their lives and involve even minuscule details such as what is being eaten for breakfast.

Drugs and alcohol also seems to something that is bothering humans in this century. It seems like we always trying to fill a void, although for some it seen as a way of enjoying life, it ultimately boils down to how responsible one can be. Lot of people turn to these as anti-depressants which leads to much more extreme problems in the long run. Human’s perception of success has a lot to do with materialistic things which often results in them living an unhappy life as they use their perspective of success as a reason to be happy. So while on the quest to find success they forget to be happy or rather forget about the little things that make them happy while on earth and that’s the human condition in the 21st century.

Money

I love and I hate you, I love the fact that there’s so much I can do with you

at the same time, I hate the fact that there’s so much I can’t do without you.

I RESENT you, not only because I want to be with you but at times I want to be you.

A lot of People love you, they all seem to need and want you in their lives

Yet you happened to be the reason they lose a whole lot of lives

You’ve pushed some to a point where they like they’ve lost their mind

 You make life easy at the same time you make life hard.

Some people feel lost without you and some lose themselves because of you.

A lot of people are exploited and live in fear because they don’t have you.

Yet some feel like you rule everything around them I personally feel like you’ve ruined almost everything around me

I must admit it’s because of you that I’ve been under a lot of stress lately

And it’s ironic because sometimes it’s you I run to when I want to be stress free.

 You unite us and you divide us, for some of us you the cause of anxiety, envy and inequality

Because of you  some of us are still far from free because we have families to feed

goals to achieve but  without you those are just pipe dreams.

Relax a bit!

We get so busy in our daily lives so much that taking a moment to relax (chill out) is slowly becoming a myth. A lot of us feel like we running out of time as often feel like we running out of time as we have many goals and objectives in place to achieve our them. The way time flies it has some of us feeling like we might wake up someday, regretting the fact that we have wasted time. The truth is media has influenced us so much that we find ourselves competing without people’s lives while forgetting that our reality does not allow us to keep up. It is essential that we take a moment to be grateful for the good things in our lives and content with ourselves, not that we should be complacent but we should take some time out to relax a bit. Relaxing helps us meditate and meditation has a lot of benefits such as: stress reduction, manages our anxiety, helps is with us with our emotional health and enhances our self-awareness. However, it is also equally important that we do not take too much time out, because there’s a fine line between taking some time out and wasting time, HAPPY FRIDAY.
