    Stress, it is our reaction to situations in our life. It is a burden on most people, but the thing is, it exists only mentally, we create stress, we choose how to react to stress, and we deal with stress. Stress is mainly created by our mind when it is about something important to us, or just aggrevating, annoying, unpleasant, and etc. Why do we let this stress exist if it doesn't serve a good purpose. Why, because we don't realize that there is a choice.

    There are things that are good have stress for and not good to have stress for. There are also good reactions to stress and not good reactions to it. Having stress over that stranger who didn't say hi to you on the elevator or something like that is pointless, but having stress over finishing a project or homework that is due is good. Stress should be used as a reminder and a motivator, not something that burdens or inhibits us. If you have to finish this project you may need some stress to remind and motivate you to prepare for it, to organize and plan it, and to finish it with some time left. Having stress that tires you out, drains your emotions, and slows the progress of that project down is not helpful. Also stressing out about your house not being crystal clean while there are other things to do is also a bad use of stress. You could give it a tiny bit so you remember to take some time and clean but not much stress.

    When you feel stressed, or you are in a situation that may create stress just stop and look at it. Think, is this important enough to give stress to, how much stress should be given to it, what are some solutions/preparations to deal with this.
   
    Stress is completely mental, if you don't want it, eliminate it, it's easy once you realize it. In the heat of the moment just remember to stop for one second. Then you will be able to eliminate the stress from your mind and react how you should.

    I warn you with this though, don't just eliminate all stress, because if you don't have any stress you could neglect important things. (I've made this mistake).

-learning in general

    All types of learning, from my own imagination, to revelations, to learning knoweldge, learning wisdom, learning experience, learning to grow, improve, influence, expirement.

    Seems to be really nice mind map that I found through lifehack.org. Its here. ---> :)

    Stride - moving forward in long/strong steps

Compassion, for nothing will be fair, no matter how hard we try nothing can be completely fair. Compassion is full of love, warmth, forgiveness, growth. With compassion we can really help others and the world, we can lead change and progress. Fairness creates punishment, segregation, seperation, compassion breeds love, growth, progress, and unity. We will be divided through fairness, brought together through love and compassion.

    I have a question for the world, and it is why? Why can't we all just stop and love, love each other, love ourselves, love the world, why? Why can't we all just be open and understanding, why can't we make this place the best for everyone instead of trying to please our own temporary desires and temptations. Why can't people use power for good instead of bad, why can't they tell people the truth, tell them their potential for greatness, for love, for unity instead of using and manipulating them. This are questions of passion not reason, for I know of our faults, our instincts, etc, I've posted some about them, but even with all that we can still love everyone. People need to open their eyes, and maybe we are here to open them, or at least to partially open them to the point they realize what they are doing is destructive, cruel, and sad. What a wonderful world this can be, and what a horror it can become, at least we are in the middle, at any point we can start to become either one, if not both at once. With a small percent of the population controlling a large chunk of the world who knows what is next. Well, reflect on your own lives, look at the unloving things you do and change it. People will see what you do, it'll change them, I'll do my part too of coarse. Start this by loving all, and see where it goes from there.

    I stand for true progress, reform, and revolution. True as in pure, all roots of the actions supporting and during the progress are 'clean', pure, no corruption, temptation, or sin taints its name. The hardest type of revolution, the strictest yet best revolution. If one has read the book (or masterpiece) Les Miserables you will see how Enjolras protected his revolution from being tainted, stained by sin. My revolution is for progress in its entirety, progress of people, understanding, truth, justice, enlightenment, reform. I stand for the practical ideals of the true revolution of progress, one that is accomplished through extreme dedication, sacrifice, and commitment.

I have a saying for those who say or think that they are enlightened, to bring you back down to earth.

    "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself a fool."

To explain that to anyone who may not understand; one who thinks themselves wise, enlightened, knowledgeable, etc is really a fool, for he knows nothing. But one who knows and accepts that they are a fool and know nothing, is wise because they acknowledge that truth.

    What makes most of us guard our stability so much, for even the most tiny things. It seems like it would be boring, unfulfilling, the same life day after day, with occasional adventures now and then or small excitements that people encounter during the day or week. Take the sterotypical 'American Dream', which actually now isn't even close to the people's dreams; the big house, with a spouse, children, white picket fence, good job, family, car, comforts. It screams one thing, complete stability, no change in it at all. So I ask again, why would people strive for something like that, why do people work to fit into a class, to fit the norms, to have the same life every day? I believe one big factor to this is our want for stability, which is an extension of our survival instinct. Human nature as some call it, our natural instincts such as motherhood, or eating.
   
    I will start at the beginning, with the survival instinct, as barbarians, cavemen, or what ever they are referred to as. In the beginning survival was based off of access to food and shelter, acquiring food and protecting our shelter. Acquiring food was done through hunting and gathering, a daily or almost daily occurance. Once people learn more, such as storing food, organized hunting, and the layout and seasons of the area surrounding our shelter, life becames more stable. They know were to  get plants and animals for food, when to go out for them, and what times of the year have certain conditions. Later farming and animal husbandry is introduced, and in some cultures agriculture comes very quickly to replace hunting. The stability grew, fighting to survive day to day, or instant to instant, it became week by week, month by month, and with the storing of meat and plants, year by year.
    
    There was still left the other main part of the survival instinct though, protection. Complete anarchy would be chaotic and inefficient, to have the people continually stealing or killing from each other threatens our life. Stability protects us, so communties were formed and developed, so one person would be risking their survival much more if they went against a group insted of an individual. Only one who is desperate who greatly risk their life to steal or harm the community.

    So in the interests of survival the communty they protected each other, but the same interest also created conflict. One community might intrude apon anothers' hunting or farming ground, risking stability of life for that community. Also within the community itself groups may be created to protect specific priorities. Some will have different priorities than others, some will more influence and strength than others, creating what could be called the first classes in organized society.

    Fast forward to modern society, our stability is based on many things, many parts of our lives are influenced by our stability. People create routines and traditions, 'daily' or 'normal' life as people may call it. This is stablity that people go through everyday, if something disrupted this state,people might become worried, stressed, possibly sad or angry, maybe even depressed or violent. Our stability now replaces the survival instinct of before, since people have less of a need to be fearing for our survival continually. No longer is it our survival to live, but our survival in society and our standard of living. Our comfort of living, luxuries, entertainment, enjoyment, fulfillment, and so forth. It is also our status, if people feel they are slipping, or lowering our status at anytime it as if our survival is being threatened. People keep their status by conforming to norms and media, the middle or upper middle class buys the latest gadget, others who don't have it feel like their status has dropped becuase of what others have gained, to compensate they buy it as well.

     The continuous changing of the definition of class, what I will call the old and new class. The class changes, creating the new class, the new class has a different standard, in America it could be said a standard is to own a computer or an ipod like device for middle and higher classes. So the new class owns this technology while the old class doesn't, eventually the old class becomes part of a lower class. People protect their stability by becoming part of the new class. Stability becomes one of the contributing factors of selfishness, greed, gluttony, materialism. There is also a smaller sense of class, say in peer to peer relations, peer pressure is created and followed by sustaining the stability of being accepted in the peer group. The stability of peer status contributes to things like; the want to fit in, conforming to norms, accepting pressure and influnces.
   
    The survival instinct, one of humans driving instincts, which shapes our actions and thoughts, creates conflicts, our ablity to control that instinct allows us to stop and resolve conflicts. Stability is an extension of that instinct, and it is a contributing factor to many conflicts and issues of today. Survival has several extensions such as; stability and power. Power is the ability to acquire desires, Stability is the confident safety of life. Power is used to protect stability and go much further. In a negative sense stability is the fear, and power is the aggression. They can complement each other, and can cause major problems throughout the world. A great way to combat these influences, these instincts, is to give up, or even sacrfice their comforts. Give up your power for the use of helping and bettter others, give up your stability and constantly change to better yourself. Survive to improve the world, insted of surviving for the sake of survival.
