Too Busy Looking Back

In the attempt to free themselves, some people only seem to get themselves more and more entangled. It’s like a bird in a puddle of tar. The more it struggles, it only gets more tangled. Likewise, so many humans are so. In their attempt to be free, they have only made things worse.

It's a comedy and tragedy rolled into one, seeing people trying to set themselves free or distant themselves from what they dislike. They’re so desperate to get away from what they were once or whatever they were locked away in, that they run straight into the next trap.

So focused are they at looking from what they are running from, that they don't realize they are not running away, but to. Simple fact is, what you focus on, you move towards. People are so locked into what they don’t want to be, that they keep it insight and block everything out. Sadly, they find, the only thing they know and see is that very thing they didn't want to be.

There are people who are like,”I’ll never be like you.” So consumed on not being them and watching, that they don’t realize that they are looking at a mirror. It is how some people are so desperate to get away from religion that they they do so all very religiously. Never realizing sometimes the very thing that they despise they look like. Maybe not in name, but in manner.

Often, what you judge, you become. This is why so many others have become what they have despised. For they were to busy looking at the person's failings instead of what led them to that. So they walk the same path and become that very person.

When you run, or go anywhere, you look to where you want to go and not where you don't want to go. So don't focus on what you're not trying to be, but what you want to be. If you see something you don't want to be, trace what led that thing or person to be, not the person, less you follow their path. Look where they fell, and not what they've become.
