More From Seth Godin

Everyone talks about freedom. all around the world different people, different races, different countries are fighting for freedom. but what is freedom? in america we speak of living in a free country. but are we really free? are we free to be who we really are? the answer is no, we are not free. true freedom has to do with the human spirit-it is freedom to be who we really are. who stops us from being free? we blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame god. who really stops us from being free? we stop ourselves.
Country Freedom Fighting
They are self-loathing people, these leftists. i can't imagine what it would be like to get up and live their life every day. to have to be mad all the time, at everybody else, knowing full well you are a failure and having the inability to do anything about it because you will not look at yourself. you gotta blame george w. bush or you gotta blame corporations, or you have to blame somebody. blame talk radio.
People Mad Blame
Do not be afriad! i can see that americans are not afraid. they are not afraid of the sun, they are not afraid of the wind, they are not afraid of 'today'. they are, generally speaking, brave, good people. and so i say to you today, always be brave. do not be afraid. do not be afraid. god is with you. do not be afraid to search for god-then you will truly be the land of the free, the home of the brave. god bless america.

No one to blame! that was why most people led lives they hated, with people they hated. how wonderful to have someone to blame! how wonderful to live with one's nemesis! you may be miserable, but you feel forever in the right. you may be fragmented, but you feel absolved of all the blame for it. take your life in your own hands, and what happens? a terrible thing: no one to blame.
Hate Hands People
And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive
Hope Morning Fear
When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. you look for reasons it is not doing well. it may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. you never blame the lettuce. yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. but if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. that is my experience. no blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.

We love best those who are, or act for us, a self we do not wish to be or act out.
Love Is Self Wish
Love is not of the mind, it is not in the net of thought, it cannot be sought out, cultivated, cherished; it is there when the mind is silent and the heart is empty of the things of the mind.
Heart Love Is Mind
How can we have the courage to wish to live, how can we make a movement to preserve ourselves from death, in a world where love is provoked by a lie and consists solely in the need of having our sufferings appeased by whatever being has made us suffer?
Lying Love Is Suffering
