Risk or Limits ?


Subject : Truth or Dare ?


I woke up this morning wondering what the point of taking risk was. Why do we always try to go beyond our limitations? I guess adrenaline and excitement are the major causes. To feel fear or dangerousness is a great feeling when it comes into risks, adventures, or feeling like we are doing something we shouldn’t. What a great obstacle prohibited actions are for our freedom. Outlawed tryouts, banned movies, censured readings, illegal operations, taboo subjects, and forbidden thoughts or ideas are the limitations that we set in our daily life.

Why can’t we read the Kama sutra in front of our parents? Isn’t sex the most natural thing in life? Why can’t we watch porn movies with our teachers? Isn’t pornography the universal show that all of us have watch at least once secretly? Why can’t we pray or plead with our own and personal style without wearing ‘’appropriates’’ dress in the name of what we call respect. Isn’t the intention of our true believing that matters and not the way we dress or look? Why can’t we talk openly about pedophile or sexual aggression? Isn’t these things majoring in our miserable setting that we call life? Why do we feel ashamed if we have been caught lying? Isn’t lies a big part of us when it comes to social norms and standards? The question is: Why do humans hides from facts that define their humanity?

What is moral when all we do is avoiding admitting what individuals are capable of? ‘’ Yes I am a liar!’’, ‘’ Yes! I love to touch myself ’’ does are sentences that we barely dare to mention because we fear others. In fact we fear REALITY. We escape from the basic creatures from which we are made of. We escape from human, from us. What an irony this coincide because these run off road are taken from people whom consider themselves free. Freedom is accepting each part that we could be one day, admitting each elements that we tend to avoid just because we want to ‘’fit in’’. Stop fooling yourself continuously, you know that you pretend, you are aware that you are acting in your personal movie story that you call ‘’ my life’’ or ‘’ me ‘’ but in point of fact it is just a ‘’want to be you ‘’ because it will never be YOU.

Society has produced your movies without making you feel that you are part of it. You are restricted by the standards and norms that your director would called it ‘’ civilization ‘’. You play with others actors permanently; and each player has a place in your life scene. If you try to escape the prescriptions of your director you are banned from the movie, in other words from society. A special person is someone different than others; a good movie is something special and unique that has regarding the other movies. However, Being free is being the own director of its own movie. It is being responsible of the image, the scene, the people, the sound, the actions, the beginning and ending, that we direct personally without a fear that a scene could be a scandal in the eyes of the spectators, of others.

Going beyond others is the hardest step to do because without other who are we? However, we would never know who we are if we don’t face the reality of our natural instincts. Facing the truth is accepting who we are regarding the social status that we tend to be.

Society could be the best thing in this lifetime but at least it should be real while avoiding movie’ directors’’ that focus mainly on fictions; fake documentaries and biased true stories.
