I am here to share what I have found

There is no question that in our world today, the deeper questions of life and our origins vibrate within our psyches at levels that we can no longer ignore. We face the deepening threats of hate and violence, overpopulation, but most importantly; suffering. We all know what suffering is, and we all wish to seek pleasure over pain. Yet how many of us have the tools and resources (psychological, spiritual, or otherwise) to reach such bliss? We all have issues that we are working on. Whether one is a multi-millionaire, or struggling to make ends meat, lives in North America or China, we all want to be happy. Understanding this fundamental truth is imperative. Many world religions have time and time again imposed an atmosphere of guilt and shame, all of which do nothing to help the current state of affairs. I assure you that regardless of who you are, or what you have ever done, there is never reason for guilt. If there is one phrase I wish to emphasize over all others, and instill in the deepest sections of my heart, it is self-acceptance. There are always aspects of ourselves that we like and we dislike. Self-acceptance, as far as I understand the term, is not discrediting the parts you do not like, and trying to change them. Accepting who you are means accepting all of who you are. The questions of the universe and its functions ring through our hearts like never before, beckoning some of us to make inquiries about the nature of reality. Yet when one is on this path, one needs to be aware that there will be great changes, and indeed not much to hold onto. How can you expect to be happy if you live seeking others approval? This is like a dog chasing its own tail. Eventually, you must decide to express yourself regardless, even if this means that others do not accept.
