Genuine Soul

Today we come across an individual who behaves like an automaton,

who does not know or understand himself,

and the only person that he knows is the person that he is supposed to be,

whose meaningless chatter has replaced communicative speech,

whose synthetic smile has replaced genuine laughter,

and whose sense of dull despair has taken the place of genuine pain.

Two statements may be said concerning this individual.

One is that he suffers from defects of spontaneity and individuality which may seem to be incurable.

At the same time it may be said of him he does not differ essentially from the millions of the rest of us who walk upon this earth.

Erich Fromm

Nowadays, people are so obsessed in becoming the person they are 'supposed to be'. We often take shortcuts to establish quick relationships. Friendships have become so convenient that we often just take things for granted. We laugh when we are 'supposed to' laugh. We say things we think are appropriate and smart.

Genuine souls are hard to come by these days.

My dearest friends,

When was the last time you see a person as the person that he/she is and speak from your heart?

Have you seen or experienced genuine laughter, genuine pain and pure spontaneity lately?

Always smile from your heart.

Miss you lots! ;)
