Fractured Society Today

Fractured Society Today

Society today feels fractured in ways that deeply affect individuals and communities. This disconnection, which leaves many struggling to find purpose or belonging, is stark compared to the cohesive bonds that used to hold us together. Once, a shared sense of direction united families, communities, and even entire nations. Today, however, the societal glue has weakened, leading to an era where many feel isolated, lost, and unsure of their role in the world. This fractured society demands a closer look: how we arrived here, what changed, and most importantly, what can be done to heal and reconnect.

Idealism vs. Reality

November 23, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

Idealism vs. Reality is a clash that many of us experience, especially those with big dreams, high expectations, and a desire for the world to be better. It’s the struggle between how we imagine life could be and how life actually is. For idealists, this difference can feel overwhelming, like a constant battle with the world around them. If you’ve ever felt that gut-wrenching disappointment when your expectations meet harsh reality, you know what I’m talking about.

When Ideals Trap You

November 15, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

This is a simple analogy to describe what ideals are. Imagine a skyscraper being built not by a single architect but by thousands of independent bricklayers. None of them have the full picture. Each one lays bricks without consulting the others, adding their own touch, using different materials, colors, and techniques, all without an overarching blueprint. They’re all doing their best, but the end result is a building that’s uneven, confusing, and far from stable. Now, what if I told you that this chaotic construction process mirrors how many of us develop our ideals? This is often the reason for our problems, and it’s what happens when ideals trap you—because ideals are cobbled together, layer upon layer, piece by piece, and without us realizing, they can become invisible cages that shape, and sometimes limit, our lives.

The Color Purple

I see the light now, but for a long time, I felt like life had handed me a character to play, and it wasn’t a good one. It was terrible! I walked around with this heavy mindset, seeing myself as the “victim” in my own life story. And you know what? I had every reason to feel that way. There were some serious struggles, setbacks, and scars in my past that gave me plenty of ammunition to reinforce that view. If life was a stage, it felt like I was playing a tragic role, a character like Sofia from The Color Purple—that was the role Oprah Winfrey played in a movie with the same name, someone who’s constantly carrying the burdens of bad memories and pain.

Breaking the Cycle of Being a Fixer

November 2, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

If you’re someone who’s always drawn to fixing others, you’ll know that breaking the cycle of being a fixer is easier said than done. It’s one of those things that starts with good intentions—you see someone struggling, and something in you says, “I can help.” So you dive in, you start peeling back the layers, digging into their pain, listening deeply. They feel understood, maybe for the first time, and you feel like you’re making a difference. But somewhere along the way, after much pain and suffering of your own, you start feeling that breaking the cycle of being a fixer starts feeling like something you “need” to do, not just something you want to do.

Parallel Universes

Have you ever woken up and felt like you’re living in a completely different world, like the universe hit a reset button overnight? You know, that moment when you look around and realize everything—your taste in clothes, the music you love, even the people you hang out with—feels like it’s just… changed? I’ve been there and it’s a wild ride! This whole concept of rebirth is something I’ve been thinking a lot about in recent years, and it’s led me to a fascinating idea: what if we’re not just changing internally, but we’re literally jumping between parallel universes?

The Lesson

October 23, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

You’ve got to ask yourself—how many times have you missed a valuable lesson in life because you were too distracted by who was delivering it? That’s the core of the lesson. We get so caught up in our own egos, so concerned with appearances or tone, that we forget what’s really important. It’s not about where the truth comes from. It’s not about how it’s delivered, or whether it came from someone you respect or someone who rubbed you the wrong way. What matters is the truth itself—the lesson life is trying to teach you in that moment.

Taming the Beast Within

October 20, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

Life is a journey of growth, and sometimes that path is littered with experiences that test the core of who we are. Often, those tests reveal parts of ourselves we may not even recognize—parts that fester in the background, only surfacing under pressure. These moments, when confronted with brutal honesty, can push us to become better versions of ourselves. For some, it might take decades to confront the buried anger, fear, or shame that has shaped much of their existence. But when the light of awareness shines on those dark corners, a transformation begins—a process of taming the beast within.

Realms Beyond This Physical Existence

October 18, 2024 / Tony Jarrah / 0 Comments

Many people feel a pull toward the spiritual realm, a desire to connect with something beyond the material world. It’s a calling that’s hard to ignore, yet often misunderstood or even feared. For some, the idea of exploring astral travel, spirit guides, or the realms beyond this physical existence can spark both excitement and apprehension. There’s a yearning to understand life’s mysteries, to transcend the limitations of our bodies and minds, and to find meaning in experiences that seem to go beyond the everyday.

The Scorpion And The Frog

The Scorpion and the Frog: A Story of Human Nature

There is an old fable that tells a powerful truth about people and their nature. In The Scorpion and the Frog, a scorpion asks a frog to carry him across the river. At first, the frog hesitates. He knows what the scorpion is capable of, and he doesn’t want to be stung. But the scorpion argues, “If I sting you, we’ll both drown.” The frog thought about it for a minute and felt that the scorpion’s plea sounded reasonable enough, so he agrees to take the him across the river. Midway through the crossing, the frog feels a breathtakingly, painful and sudden sting right in the middle of his back, the likes of which he has ever felt, .

As the poison takes effect and they begin to sink, the frog, in disbelief, looks up at the scorpion asks, “Why did you sting me? Now we’ll both die.” The scorpion’s reply is as cold as it is simple: “I can’t help myself. It’s in my nature.”
