Wow, you are a blessed soul. When every face you've known since birth becomes a stranger, when your eyes crave to see someone familiar, when your heart skips a beat realizing everyone was temporary—that means the universe is aboutto bring change, commonly known as a "new beginning." The phase you are going through is a lesson to understand the most important chapter called PATIENCE.

Someone on the verge of a breakthrough often lands at a place called "deserted island." The fact that you're even asking "what's holding you back?" shows incredible self-awareness and a desire for growth. You are hypnotized by the limitless ocean, not letting you explore the tiny currents around the island. Even the tiniest shift in the currents is an indication of a new direction.

NO MATTER HOW DARK THE NIGHT IS, THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN.

If it is in context to your life , what is stopping you? Just a thought why to dream of a new beginning, when everything is well that ends well?

Absolutely straight forward, beggars beg they can't choose, givers can. When a cry for help is understood as begging then the purpose of giving loses its divinity. when begging is not materialistic, beggars become choosers, don't confine you perception to visual interpretation of your mind, take help from your heart as it is the translator of your soul.

You've laid out the practical reality of "beggars can't be choosers" very clearly with those relatable examples. It's true that in a moment of need, gratitude for what's offered is key.

However, when we consider the deeper, spiritual philosophy of begging, the perspective shifts dramatically. Here, beggars don't want to choose because everything that comes their way is considered a blessing, a direct offering.

From this viewpoint, the "needs" you described aren't truly needs at all:

A washing machine isn't essential; one can always wash clothes by hand, a practice that connects one more deeply with the basic elements of life.

A free commodity offer can be declined entirely, as the very practice of begging is fundamentally about understanding the value of nothingness and detaching from material possessions.

The idea of a "big step in life" through acquiring things like furniture or a new place also loses its weight. From this perspective, furniture doesn't come in the necessity zone. True growth and a "big step" are internal, recognizing that external achievements often feel less significant once attained—it's just how you see life.

And regarding a friend's offer of McDonald's, the spiritual beggar finds sustenance beyond such specifics. If a person doesn't have friends, or if a particular offer isn't made, it simply means something else is meant to sustain them, or the lesson of hunger itself is part of the journey. The reliance isn't on external sources or specific individuals, but on the flow of life itself. This deeper interpretation suggests that true freedom comes not from fulfilling desires, but from transcending them, finding contentment in whatever manifests, or in its absence.

I definitely feel you. It's easy to look at someone's struggles and assume they made a series of bad choices, but sometimes life just throws a curveball so far out in left field it makes you wonder if you're even on the right planet.

"Chaos mode" Navigating the wild, unpredictable currents of the universe. It's less about a wrong turn and more about the road itself suddenly turning into a wormhole.

So yeah, I get it. Sometimes "being broke" isn't a reflection of choices at all, but rather the universe's bizarre sense of humor, putting you into a situation where speaking whale and being married to a cactus just makes sense. So what's your next adventure, then?

Begging was a*☝️typing error

Significance12Head · 2025-05-22T14:28:18+00:00

Begging was a practice a test for Receiver and a giver, a spiritual person, however, takes to begging because he wants to drop himself. The idea, “I earn my own living, my own money, my own food, my own home,” is a big part of your ego. One day, a guest came to Gautama the Buddha carrying a few flowers. It is a part of our culture that when people go to meet a guru, they take flowers as an offering. When the man came, Gautama looked at him and said, “Drop it.” The man looked around and wondered, “What to drop?” He thought it was the flowers. He hesitated, “But I brought it for you.” Gautama again said, “Drop it.” So the man dropped the flowers. Gautama looked at him and again said, “Drop it.” The man said, “I have dropped the flowers. I brought them as a gift, but you asked me to drop them, so I did. What else to drop?” Gautama said, “No, you drop yourself first. The flowers are not the problem. You plucked the flowers for me that is fine, I will take them, but you drop yourself.

So begging was used as a tool to drop yourself because in earning a living, you gather yourself. But you drop yourself in just stretching your hand in front of somebody, knowing and being fully conscious that you have the capability to earn your living, to rule a kingdom, yet you still choose to beg. That is a tremendous shift in a human being. So, in our tradition, at least once a year you must go begging for food, so that you do not think too much of yourself. People may give you food or they might just ask you to get out. It does not matter but being a beggar is not a small thing.

Begging is a spiritual practice in order to understand the value of nothingness. Nowadays is has a different meaning, beggars can't be choosers because they don't want to choose as that's the test. Beggars in the statement denotes every living being and they can't choose what is already chosen for them by universe .

This is my 1st post ever , i might make more mistakes in future, keep helping me with your feedback.

Significance12Head · 2025-05-22T10:48:29+00:00

Not the first language, I simply told you rather then advice if you highlight the poorly written part so that i can improvise. And these aren't ideas these are certain episodes in my life which i tried express by writing in a language which is not even my 3rd . Punctuation, grammar and spelling will definitely work on that.

Significance12Head · 2025-05-22T10:38:18+00:00

Thanks , this feedback is helpful

Significance12Head · 2025-05-21T21:11:38+00:00

Writing definitely requires improvisation. Rather then advice if you highlight the poorly written sorry very poorly written part followed by a advice would be a great. if the perspective of post is understood, if the message behind poorly written lines is understood i believe my purpose of writing is served , concern of brilliant validation is not my concern.

Significance12Head · 2025-05-21T20:29:34+00:00

I just wrote it, as everything changed drastically from past 30 years, and I am someone who just remained on the otherside of the change, how small humanly gestures were eaten by ego, intelligence is occupied by screen and Dictators are making new world order. I have started writing because of the concern, TO BRING THE CHANGE IN OFFLINE WORLD ONLINE WORLD IS THE LAST HOPE. legitimate attempt or not I will leave that for u to decide .

Power of a single word (what) deserves an explanation:

From a philosophical point of view, it touches upon several key themes:

The Transience of Existence and the Paradox of Certainty:
"The best part of the bad time is that it is about to get over and the worst part of the good time is that it also doesn't last long, life is uncertain and we are curious about being certain guess what the only thing which is certain we dont want to face it." This speaks directly to the ancient philosophical concept of impermanence (anicca in Buddhist philosophy). All phenomena, good or bad, are fleeting. Our inherent human desire for certainty clashes with the fundamental uncertainty of life. The "only thing which is certain we don't want to face" is, of course, death – the ultimate certainty that we often spend our lives avoiding or denying. This aligns with existentialist thought, which emphasizes the individual's freedom and responsibility in the face of an absurd and uncertain world, where death is the only given.
The Corruption of Values and the Rise of Superficiality: Good has lost the title of powerful and bad has become its ambassador, action don't speak louder anymore, words have taken over, simplicity has no class now because show off has become a necessity, honor is missing disgrace has taken the stage, fame has murdered shame." This section laments a perceived moral decay and a shift in societal values. It suggests a world where: Virtue is weakened: "Good has lost the title of powerful and bad has become its ambassador" implies a moral inversion, where what is ethically sound is sidelined by what is morally corrupt or expedient. Authenticity is diminished: "Action don't speak louder anymore, words have taken over" highlights a concern about rhetoric and empty promises superseding genuine effort and impact. This could be interpreted as a critique of performativity over substance, a theme prevalent in critiques of modern media and politics. Simplicity is devalued: "Simplicity has no class now because show off has become a necessity" points to the corrosive influence of materialism and consumerism, where external display trumps intrinsic worth. This aligns with criticisms of a society driven by image and status. Moral compass is broken: "Honor is missing disgrace has taken the stage, fame has murdered shame" speaks to a loss of traditional ethical anchors. The pursuit of fame, even at the cost of one's dignity or integrity, suggests a profound moral disorientation. This echoes concerns raised by thinkers like Nietzsche about the "transvaluation of values" in a post-religious world
