Hugo's World

It is easy to ignore our surroundings when we are doing fine in life after a pretty remarkable way back on track in my career, objectives and personal life.

…But this is not how I am. As part of my healing I am able to feel compassion for the struggles of others. The homeless man who inspired me to make my story of struggles public is making one step forward and four backward and walking in circles without finding a way out of his situation due to inability to beat his own demons of drugs and mental paralysis.

It hurts to see a human being taking his precious life with no direction only showing his lack of motivation to get out of the hole where he finds himself.

My fellow Randy is in my prayers and daily meditation. Hopefully one day a miracle happen and he gets back to society until that day comes if I see him I will say hi, share some food and feel compassion for someone who shows with honesty his struggles.

Many people would prefer to not think too much about the whole background behind a favourite song of a favourite singer, I would try my best interpretation based on what I know.

Like A Stone of Audioslave by Chris Cornell quotes:

“In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we’ll die alone
And if we’re good, we’ll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go”

Perhaps the meaning is a real journey through depression fighting with own demons of drug abuse, loneliness and seeking for ways to communicate publicly and share the message in a powerful way that Like A Stone may be part of your personal troubles and die alone.

Trying to see this from another perspective, the main singer and my favourite performer Chris Cornell at the time of writing this song in 2002 during a rehab of drugs and probably unhappy prior separation from his first wife the following year 2003.

In other words, music is art that heals people and shares messages of personal journeys with some stories of compassion for ourselves and others and hope that the future is better.

We don’t need to feel alone and isolated as the main character of the son but the answer and the change is personal and we can inspire others one day at a time.

Also Chris’ honesty as performer and composer is alive always everywhere.

I have been developing something unique for the past few months post separation struggles being able to read others needs and feeling compassion for other people when I see public messages of someone struggling with depression unable to see the light inside that person and share my stories of hope to make dealing with their own demons a little better.

There is a building not far from me where some people with mental health live and I started opening my heart and smiling to these individuals and there is a particular one that may be in his late 50s, he typically ask for a smoke from now on I always say hi and wish him a best day and when he sees me he waves and smile at me which made feel great.

This action of compassion towards another person is a unique way towards enlightenment in my view and peace. If any of us could open ourselves and see widely our world perhaps we can make a difference in someone.
