Fairytale to Meaning

The storytellers don't tell you the truth and they don't want you to knowOur birthright is to transcend and it becomes a real tragedy if we don't accomplish that. We're all initiated at birth into a culture that craves pleasure and materialism separating us away from our authentic, intrinsic natures. The storytellers tell us, you have to do it this way, otherwise chaos will engulf you. The culture turns us into robots, it reinforces a form of infantilism and alienation from our authenticity and an unwillingness to go it alone. But it's very important that we go it alone, be alone and be ourselves. We didn't come here to lose ourselves, be annihilated or lose our voice, but reclaim who we are and find the intrinsic meaning within that. Life has its own way of dissolving myths once believed and one must, amid the disappointment and desolation, begin to take responsibility for one's own meaning. There is no one out there to save us, to take care of us, and to heal our own dissatisfactions. But there's a real fine person within, one we barely know, ready and willing to be our constant companion. Only when we've acknowledged the deflation of hopes and expectations of childhood and accepted direct responsibility for finding meaning for oneself, can the appointment of our real lives begin.None of us are heroes, not really.We're just us.
