F**k it June 28th, 2009
F**k it…… F**k it…… F**k it!!!!
I bought a book on Saturday and have read it today! It was so inspiring that I couldn’t put it down so I just sat and read it from start to finish!! I even forgot to eat!! Oops!!
Anyway this book as you might have guessed by now is called F**k it (John C. Parkin) It’s apparently the “ultimate spiritual way” and I have to say I found it very inspiring, the theory behind it is that you shouldn’t let yourself get to attached to anything as when you start building up attachments you start building up emotions and get stressed etc…
Apparently by saying F**k it to all the situations in your life that way you down you actually free yourself up to start experiencing life! I only wish I had read the book a few years ago lol.
I can see his point though, since I have said F**k it to everything that is shit in my life I have become soooo much happier! It’s things like my job! I really hate it but F**k it there is no point moaning about it and there is nothing I can do about it untill I come back from travelling so why worry about it?
It’s a strange feeling to not let things annoy you and to just think that what will be will be! Having so much control over you life and setting goals all the time is so limiting! From now on I’m going with the flow of life and I’m not going to worry about it!
I do have to disagree with Parkin on one point though! He talks about loss & grief and that by saying F**k it to death that we can accept death and so that when someone close to us dies we can accept it and return to normal living in very little time! I have BIG issues with this! I have worked alot with loss & grief and there is currently a huge argument out there about whether someone can actually ever accept their loss and return to “normal” living!! What do you think? Lets just say for example that a mother has lost her child in a tragic accident, could that mother just say “F**k it” and accept it and get on with normal life? I very much doubt it! Some people would even go as far as saying that for as long as she lived she would never accept it!
Also if we were all to live a life with no or very few attachments wouldn’t that be a very lonely existence??
Apart from that I found that the book was very inspiring and it gave me a lot to think about. I would recommend it to everyone.
