PUNCH IN THE FACE

Mike Tyson said 'Everyone thinks they have a plan until they get punched in the face'.
He is good at what he does because he keeps going despite the blows.
Have you noticed in life you are happy one moment and then get punched in the face for no apparent reason?
People say nasty, terrible, untrue things about you.
Or something goes wrong with that fool proof plan.
Or 70 million people die in 2 world wars http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat1.htm.
Mans inhumanity to man.
You try and rationalise them and you become lost and confused. You grow heavier and entangled. Everything becomes hopeless. Why go on? You stop trying. You give up.
And then in the darkest hour you relinquish control.
That is when it happens.
You see a glimpse of your true nature.
Love, compassion and humility.
You rise. And you talk about your new found land to others because you want them to have it too.
But they have their problems, ideas and troubles. Most don't believe you. They don't believe there is such a magnificent place, there is only what they see; pain and scant hurried patches of pleasure.
It makes them mad that you are happy. So they try to drag you down into the dark world of troubles.
And it works.
The cycle of blind suffering.
Then something clicks. You see the cycle. You see you are not dead. You see the illusion, the daymare.
You give up the cycle in one simple decision.
You don't wait for the weekend to do it. Or next year when you are made Chief Undermanager of Corporateness. Or when the Queen recommends your genius as an undergarment maker.
You do it now. From moment to moment.
Forever.
You are home.
