What has become of expression? Should we stop expression?
Today, I've just ended my professional relationship with a friend. He has done a great job in being an amateur with his work for so long. He grew little all those years that he spent on his job. I've once removed him from his post but today, yet again, he pulled the same prideful remarks against me.
I had to say my piece in a very calm and reserved way. He was angry and that's fine with me. I would worry more yet I'd feel more comfortable if he just took it. For me, those things I've said to him are true and were straight from the heart. His maturity is tad slow paced yet I believed in him. I guess right now, really is, the time to let go of him. I pray for peace and blessings for him.
Because of this event, I was not able to do my siesta. Today's my self-declared "Rest" day but it was quite bothersome hence this entry.
I need not wake up to watch American Idol and wait for the winner, because I know in my heart that Jessica will win the competition. I woke up at 9am and "fine-i'll-watch" myself into waiting for the results.
Next thing I know, Aerosmith is performing, Jennifer Holliday with Jessica, the crooner Phillip was with my winner behind the judges then Phillip wins.
I was in disbelief, turned the TV off and went down to eat breakfast where I spent some time opening my ordered food while thinking and analyzing what just happened.
I never really watched it, and so I think I am not that informed. I made it my FB status and found comments of agreement and remarks of wanting me to accept what just happened.
For so long now, I've always asked myself, is it every time that when I express something "bad" people would automatically react and press down on me to shift and change perspective?
Wait... I'm just expressing... Why stop me? Should I hold in? Be mature enough to man up and just hold it in? What? Tell me.
I lack knowledge and research on topics of unexpressed emotions but I remember that it is the source of sickness and maybe in the future psychological repercussions include instability of emotions and what not.
I THINK, we should all be allowed to express what is in our heart. EXPRESS not actually and immediately ACT upon it. And those people who PREVENT expression should shut up and I guess be heard on things they want to be heard at. Now, respect and compassion will surface as values needed for such freedom.
We should use our senses to express the light and darkness within us. Shutting Lady Gaga down on her concert for me is not the right thing to do, rather, if protesters and the religious sector would want to EXPRESS, they should tell their followers simply not to support the show. Lady Gaga or Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta maybe the Judas herself. She feels like a demon or a person unworthy of love and wants it badly.
These are artistic expressions and let's not even begin with its limitations, let's just talk about expression. These are her expressions of the things inside her. I personally believe that we are human beings and we have inside ourselves light and darkness. All should be expressed. Until we are purified from light and darkness, what's left is a soul that simply accepts and loves.
The war between light and dark plays an important role in all mythologies, religions and art forms. And now, why do we relate such "trivial" things hinder expression. It is what it is. There's that eternal play between yin and yang, ebb and flow again, light and dark. So expressing something negative is bad and something positive is good. SO?
I would like to reiterate that this is not about taking action as to expression. Saying, "I really want to choke him to death..." should be left to expression and it's sake. Responsibility now comes as to the action that will or will not be taken.
Expression shouldn't be deleted, controlled or whatever. It is simply such. If Gaga desecrates a church and rides a bike with his Judas video "minions" then I'll be in the forefront of rallies and will "cast the first stone" because I would never do that.
Though I am not heard by someone though countless things have been already expressed to my "target", I might every now and then be angry and ask my friends to calm me, might gossip but will never PHYSICALLY ATTACK. Yes I know, words cut deeper, it is mightier than the sword.
Will it set-up someone to do what one says? I don't think so. Release work of the shadow in our hearts will let our light shine through. I think that it is a decluttering mechanism of human beings to express their darkness (for light) in different methods. Some paint, create "controversial" music, some drink, smoke whatever.
Expression shouldn't be stopped. Reckless ACTS of violence should be.
AND IF EVER, I told that Jessica Sanchez should win and not Phillip Phillips don't stop me. Neither should someone make everyone stop expressing because it's not right. Just declare what you feel about Phillip Phillips winning. For me that's the better way to CONVERT the Angry Mob.
HELLO? GOD just let us expressed and He even died for us. He still loved us. Let us follow that. And now, that my anger over these people who are not able to understand such expressions, I am more calm and in perspective.
I know it has happened to everyone, express it and what remains is the love. Express!
