Enslaving Ourselves

This video is a part of a little mini-series that was born through engagement... I have created the first post that was about the quality of living, and because of a lot of great feedback and community comments on that one, I was "forced" to create the second one, named Its All About the Perspective...

As it looks the community liked that one also, the story continued, and here we are in the third one... And I would say that this one is just a reflection of your comments to the first two posts... It is not MY vlog, it is OUR vlog... I have just turned it into the video message that you provided to me... :)

In the video, I have highlighted two specific comments for different reasons, as both of them inspired me to connect them into one idea... The first comment was from @russellstockley, where he wrote about how the perception isn't always created by ourselves, but rather "pushed" from outside and presented as ours...

The other one was more practical, by @achim03, where he told his story about his trip to a foreign country and the perception of the events that were (or weren't) happened in the eyes of his mother at home... (check both comments on the link above)

By reading them, I got to some strange conclusions that we, as emotional beings, react and perceive some things in a certain (overreacted) way sometimes... By doing that, we are closing some doors in our lives... Unfortunately, fear is one of them that can lead us to that, and as it is a very powerful feeling, it can harm us a lot...

Don't forget to check out the video...

Thank you for your valuable time,
