Keepin it R.E.A.L !!!!

Real, what does the word mean? To be acknowledged of having existence?
Yes, that could fit into a definition of it. Being TRUE and not ILLUSIONARY, is also another way of trying to describe it (as defined in dictionary.com).

But KEEPING it REAL, what does that mean? How do you KEEP it Real?
To keep something is to remain true to it, not to hinder it in anyway...(whatever "it" may be).
In this case, "it" is being REAL.

Keeping it Real means to be able to remain true to oneself. Honestly being able to express oneself through emotion, and action. What I mean is being able to without CARING about any judgment by external forces, just ACTING as humanly as possible, the way you FEEL, toward the Other.

How about murderers? When they feel angry, or sometimes pleasure, they kill. are they keeping it Real?
This is tricky in a sense. They keep it Real in terms of expressing themselves, but they neglect their true self. Humans have a violence complex through nature, there is always a BEAST within us all. But To keep it REAL, is to be able to EXPRESS oneself TRUTHFULLY, with uttermost control over our Nature...being able to tame the Beast within, or rather Control it, and not let it overpower your.
This is the tricky part.

How can it be kept REAL, if it is CONTROLLED?
To be Real, is to be honest. To be honest is to act truthfully, about how one is feeling. To act truthfully, is something that cannot really be fathomed and explained in REAL terms, but can be FELT. YOU CAN FEEL the HONESTY, and TRUTH when someone is KEEPING IT REAL...

To Fathom REALNESS, is to NOT Fathom reality. You just BE.
BE who you are, BE what you are, and BE what you do.

I've developed a formula in how to do this. and it is by keeping it R.E.A.L

Respect
Endure
Accept
Love

If humans can learn to Respect all things, there will be a sense of order.

If humans can learn to Endure all hardships that they face in life (annoying friend, vengeful enemy, not being able to understand something, not being able to take control of a situation, having no money for something, feeling alone and deserted, feeling UNLOVED...etc.) and be able to Respect the situation, there will be peace and calm.

If humans can learn to Accept that it is inevitable that there will always be suffering and hardships, then will there be a tolerance of being able to Endure anything, and be able to Respect it's existence (that is the existence of suffering).

If humans can learn to Love all things, there will be Peace. Love is what helps humans have the capacity to Respect, Endure and Accept things that occur in life. Without Love, it will be impossible to completely and truthfully keep it REAL.

To keep it REAL means to be able to Love, Accept, Endure and Respect all things, so that one can TRUTHFULLY and HONESTLY Express themself to others. REAL is relative, you are only REAL because something (others) acknowledges your existence.

Therefore one must be able to Respect the other, Endure the other, Accept the other, and Love the other.

Only in this way can one Keep it R.E.A.L.






Jesus is a perfect example of someone who Respected all, Endured extreme suffering and hardship, Accepted his fate, yet still Loved everyone, even those who killed him.

I want to pull a Jesus.
