As humans in todays society, we are encumbered by our possession, our status, portraying our wants as needs, and just trying to survive. We have a tendency to keep ourselves in un-happy, unsatisfing, unfullfilling relationships, jobs or situations. Just because; that is what we know, what we have, what we assume we need or what we are familar with and as some would state comfortable with. We stop listening to ourselves, shut off the thoughts and our bodies sense of this is not right! We shut down our bodies innate care taker , we go into the mode of " I don't like doing this but have to do it for the good of ????. We stop doing thing out of passion and joy for ourselves and doing it because we have to . WE GET LOST IN THE SHUFFLE….
We disconnect THE INNATE FEELINGS that fuels the fire of life that give us the joy, excitement and passion of living, the stuff makes us smile and enjoy the simple things. When this happens we become out of balance, disassociated and disconnected with ourselves( the innate being inside of us), our lives and most times our loved ones. We let the fire of life smolder within us to near embers and move throught the process of life , like an assembly line. Getting up, going to work to pay for bills, mortgages and car payment, feeding the family, sleeping and doing it all over again and again. We may squeeze in a fitness class, a walk with the dog, a game of golf. THIS NOW BECOMES OUR NEW TERMS OF LIVING AND WHAT WE NOW CALL OUR LIFE.
Over time "The innate you" we may succumbed to the dis-eases of life, illnesses of the body or mind , illicit or prescription drug/alcohol use or abuse that help to change the state or help numb the state of dis-ease. We may become stressed, depressed, anxious or just plain unhappy. Our body will reflect the lack of care and startt to break down . The feelings of not know who we really are anymore or that we have become lost somehow.
This is a disconnection from the fires of life, this is us not care taking of ourselves, following our passions or listening to our innate needs. When we stop feeding the fires that makes us tick so we stop ticking. The shutting down to a state of excistence, no longer thriving, becoming lost in the condition of the "new terms" of life. The loss of grounding, the lack of balance, lead to inner turmoil.
If we where animals we would term this treatment as “ in-humane" . Encaging ourselves in the condition, starving ourselves of requirements of life. We as a society ignoring our " human attributes and qualities" as "I'm a diabetic"or "I am depressed", or " I am the senior manager of ?????" or " I am Mechanic" these facts may be true but they are what you have become, NOT WHO YOU ARE !!!!
The above existence would not be described as "the quality or state of being human".
