I usually find myself enjoying the pleasure of time. Whether it be working on something or talking to someone, time is the only thing we all have an equal amount of, or at least it is something that is equally given to us in this world, how it's used is our prerogative. Even doing nothing with our time does not entirely mean our time has been wasted, I'm not identifying someone taking up your time intentionally, but when it is identified that someone's "wasting" their time, how is it really being wasted? Societies, over centuries and centuries, have gradually moved more towards identification with every individual: businessman, trader, farmer, priests, parents, brothers, sisters, etc. Point being, every one of us has been given a title, a label, at some point in our lives, and within that label, we are expected to act, talk, eat, and do all the things we naturally do ourselves, when we are not concerned with our titles or labels, we do them differently. If a rose was told it was a mechanic, would it be able to fix your car? No! A rose does as it naturally always does. Many of us act, talk, and change character altogether sometimes depending on our current environment. Were we to eliminate labels, titles, and superlatives entirely, how different would we all act around our families, our friends, strangers? All of the different faces, voices, and characters we put on to be accepted, to be acknowledged, to be known for who we are within our given titles and labels would all be gone, the only thing to remain would be our true selves. The deeper part that one must simply know and not "search" for or "look" for is our true self, not the I am this or that, but the I am that comes from within. The best part about this is that without you having to think, without you even having to study yourself, your true self always comes out. That part of you however, that does not want to show one side of you to someone is the ego. Were we to be ourselves, we wouldn't have to think "I have to present myself to my parents in a respectful, honorable, and traditional way because the side of me that comes out when I'm with my friends is not appropriate with my family" and for many this is the truth of how they change identities, unconsciously too. Keeping true who we are, the real I am, and not the I am a brother, sister, employee, etc. will allow not only you but those around you to go beyond the realm and sense of expectations.
