Philosophy of the Mind: Embracing Life’s Fundamental Truths
The Eternal Cycle of Life and Thought
The moon sets, and the sun rises. Winter fades, and spring returns. Every living being is born, and inevitably, they will pass away. These are fundamental truths of existence, yet they are often overlooked in the hustle of everyday life.
Most people, myself included, live deeply immersed in their own thoughts and beliefs, forgetting the simple, unchanging nature of the world around them.
How the Mind Shapes Perception
As thoughts expand, they create an internal world where we unknowingly take shelter. Within this world lie deeply embedded beliefs, our personal definitions of right and wrong, which surface when we encounter challenges in life.
Over time, these mental frameworks dictate our judgments and decisions, shaping the life we live today. What we perceive as reality is, in many ways, simply a reflection of our accumulated thoughts.
Breaking Free from the Mind’s Illusions
Now, I seek to step beyond my thoughts and reconnect with the fundamental truths of life. Instead of being lost in my mind’s ever-growing landscape, I want to:
✔️ Dress according to the rhythm of the seasons
✔️ Savor the gifts of nature through seasonal foods
✔️ Live with gratitude for the present moment
By grounding myself in reality rather than being confined within subjective thoughts, I aim to experience life as it truly is.
Final Reflection: The Paradox of Thought
In the end, I acknowledge that even this realization is a product of my own mind. Yet, by recognizing this, I move one step closer to a more conscious and mindful existence.
Embrace simplicity. Question your thoughts. Discover what lies beyond the mind.
