The Twisted Game of Telephone

This article takes on a different shape than the others so far. It is written as a fairy-tale story, but has a very important message for you to ponder: just were do all the inexplicable traditions in our lives come from?

Many beliefs are formed for good reason; however, inevitably these beliefs become changed and twisted to the point where the original purpose is lost completely. Similar to a game of telephone. Hopefully, the story will get you thinking about what rituals you hold dear to this day and why they are so important to you.

Now consider what stands between you and that goal? It could be a lack of motivation or perhaps an environmental difficulty like distance. However, the number one obstacle to people’s happiness is generally other people.

Based on the things we do (or do not do) we could end up limiting or destroying another persons chances at happiness. The goal is not to blame other people for the problems in your life since competition and accidents are inevitable. Instead, keep in mind that all people want happiness just as you do.

Confronting Classism

Do you harbor prejudices you did not realize you had? Do you see yourself as superior to others? Perhaps you don’t realize that you do.
