Let’s talk about accountability. How accountable are we regarding what we do in our daily activities? Are we brave enough to take responsibility if something goes wrong? Those simple questions are popping out as reminders of the good old model of cause and effect that we should be aware of since the beginning of our own existence. Everything we do has a source that leads towards a consequence, i.e., a result that we should be accountable for. Are we accountable, or are we delegating accountability to someone else? The moment we realise the answer for all those aforementioned questions, it’s the moment we understand that, for good or for bad, we’ve to deal with the consequences of everything we do, always.


It’s important to keep consciousness at hand to realise and understand the impact of anything we experience in life, mainly when our decisions affect others directly (or indirectly). In Buddhism we say that observing raw, wild, and brainless actions is due to the nature of our untamed monkey mind, which leads us towards both the observation and experience of kindergarten-level conditioned behaviours.


While we can always keep consciousness at hand and control our own actions, we cannot say the same about others, which implies an extra effort to deal with brainless actions and kindergarten-level behaviours performed by someone else we’ve no means either to rule or control. Reaching that conclusion represents revisiting that good old model of cause and effect, mainly when we observe dishonour, dishonesty, and deception the most, no matter if we’re in home-, work-, or entertainment-like environments.


Let’s recall the question that started this post: How accountable are we regarding what we do in our daily activities? Sooner or later we would realise that as small as a problem seems to be, it always comes back to kick our ass if not handled properly in a way it gets completely solved, implying the ability to settle such a solution as an example that gets part of our toolbox to deal with similar situations in the future ahead. And we can only do that if we’re accountable for everything we do and experience.


The more accountable we’re for anything we experience in life, the easier it’s to extract priceless pieces of knowledge that help us derive useful wisdom we use to navigate life in any type of environment we get inserted into.


Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  It’s important we get prepared to apply defensive manoeuvres any time, anywhere, and at any circumstances. Although the majority of us live in an environment where internal conflicts and wars are somehow not so close, dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive people and behaviours requires us to be ready for facing and dealing with anything before us. That’s why it’s important to learn how to survive outside civilisation, where danger and threats aren’t limited to facing and dealing with minds in suffering. Inside a Jungle, a desert, or any other place where traces of civilisation are little or non-existent, the restrainment of resources (e.g., food and fresh water), as well as the presence of other animals in the surroundings (e.g., spiders, big snakes, jaguars, lions, tigers, and so on)---which may see us as a prey—become big concerns far more urgent than dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive presence of minds in suffering in the surroundings. Thus, the mo...

The Neo-Nazi ideology is already deep in the roots of our current society, and as part of our culture and way of life, it’s dictating and conditioning what people see as normal behaviour in some social spaces. The simple act of gossiping with the goal of imposing additional difficulties in the life of another is a Neo-Nazi influence that passes almost unnoticed to our naked eyes. Stopping and diminishing those behaviours related to Neo-Nazi ideologies is the way of facing darkness and dealing with the negative conditioning we’re subjected to in a conscious and meaningful way. No darkness has power to obfuscate the natural light we’ve deep within. We just need to find a way of cultivating and nurturing our light to be influenced and conditioned by darkness no more. Suicide is not a way out. We need to learn how to live a meaningful life with the duty of facing darkness and dealing with its presence in the surroundings in a conscious and meaningful way. That’s the path towards our person...

  It’s extremely important understanding why we need to step into our personal evolution, enhancing the self until we get totally aligned with our love nature and the universe itself. Such a fully alignment enables us to move as a whole unit combined with everything that make us alive, removing the need of the self, i.e., we become part of something bigger that is walking towards the same direction, consciously and meaningfully. We can imagine it as a group of people who have attained the same understanding of suffering, and therefore, any conscious decision regarding how to deal with negativity would be the same. Unfortunately, darkness uses a distortion of such a concept, which instead of promoting the use of consciousness, enforces the conditioning of the unconscious mind, implying individuals presenting the same behaviour by the simple fact they’ve been conditioned to do so rather than attained the same understanding to perform a similar decision. This minor yet fundamental dif...
