We just don't notice



People say, "we have to know our enemy in order to conquer them," thus we are busy observing people and picking their guilt while we forget the real "one" we have to conquer, our own selves. It may sound cliche, but... the real enemy we should be facing does not lie out there, it's within ourselves. I believe no one knows us better than we do. We live until now being WITH ourselves, as what Sex and The City's Samantha Jones's legendary quote "I've been in relationship with myself for 49 years," so obvious, the one that knows ourselves the best is no one but us.

And THIS IS THE POINT! There are things deep down inside that often buried and become unnoticable because we are too busy forcing ourselves to reach things that actually we should not bother to even move an inch closer to; or because we let others "dictate" what we are, what we should do, think, and feel. However, the good part is, since we know ourselves the best; then, those buried-and-unnoticed things, no one else knows them. We have to look carefully and deeply to realize we have those special one-of-a-kind things.

And that's why, the self-"enemy" that I've mentioned before can eat us out unless we fight them. With what? With THOSE THINGS we have, those valuables we often forget due to the business ourselves making on to the shallow outsides. You may ask, "what is that thing?" and "how to notice them?". Well, for the second one, you may find the answer by looking outsides, take a look around and try to "feel" the world, try to notice what actually happens out there rather than seeing it through perspectives "provided" by others; but for the first one, no one elseNO ONEknows the answer but you. It's unique and special, and it what makes us stand out, not as only an individual, but as a whole package called "human"; because we are much more than what we think, we just don't notice.
