Humans share about 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees, making them our closest living relatives. And we know that DNA is like the BIOS programming on top of which all other programs of the brain run.
If we share so much with Chimpanzees, imagine how similar one human is to another? How much core coding we ALL share? We are busy differentiating and naming each other, so that it helps us judge and make decisions quicker. We give ourselves new ways to divide among us. By school, by hometown, by job, by passion, by behavior, or an old mistake. Someone is GANJU and someone is SELFISH, at the base, at its very core, we have only one program running, that wants to sleep well at night, that wants to be remembered fondly— at least by ONE individual, someday, somewhere.
When you know this basis, you can see yourself in everyone you meet. You hug and greet and pray for everyone in the chessboard of life, which is more similar to a DANCE floor, rather than a chessboard. You enter the floor with music in the air, enjoying the beats. You are here, you are HERE now, the next breath is yours and yours alone, and everyone around you is happy to see you dancing, so please, keep dancing, know we are all in this as ONE. In a hundred years, no one may remember you, but tonight, you have the chance to make a moment to enjoy now and for the rest of your days.
You learn all your life how to differentiate, but the only peaceful way forward is to see how similar we all are, from our very core, the powerful and the powerless, the smartass and the badass, the businessman and the serviceman, the hero and the zero.
Don’t get lost in the dance, however, you have to rest, focus on your BODY, MIND and SOUL. Sleep a bit, clean the house, sort the bed, call your best friend and share all the love you were waiting to tell only as eulogy, say it today while your loved ones are still here, let your love be COURAGEOUS, and DELICATE, stop the hurry, and hum along the mundane, as the brain sorts itself out.
So TODAY, be selfish for a while and prioritize yourself, if needed, to make sure you are here to see more of the beauty in the world in coming days. It is always NOW, it is ALWAYS now, always it will continue to be NOW.
So stop the hurry, embrace the day, and have a very very very blessed day, my dear.
TAKE LOVE.
