In the past, things which I had to really force myself to believe or be have been wrong. They always felt wrong, and when I freed myself of them I realised the relief to be more myself again.

In a good environment, we naturally gravetate towards our true and good natures. We adapt. You need to be flexible and continue to work with your own evolution - some people stay wrong out of stubbornness or ego - but in general, the road to being the best adapted to life is not a road at all, but a stream, which naturally finds its own way to sea if left unhindered.

You need a bit of creativity, and to see different perspectives, insights. This gives your unconscious mind an idea where to move towards. The point I'm trying to make here, though, is that if we work with nature and not against it, we naturally become the best we can be. I say "adapt", because yes, you can become destructive by letting nature work, but this can only be because something has tought you that there is profit from doing so. Someone who has adapted best, in the modern living environment, becomes a "good person", because human nature does include love and when we are safe it is profitable to our happiness to gravitate towards it.

People give you ideologies that make you go against your nature, like "it is wrong to play because adults are serious". Some ideologies could be law, in which case it could be your nature to follow the law to avoid punishment but not your nature to believe the ideology - so you are caged, but still yourself. The greatest happiness comes from embracing your nature. Don't let anyone tell you to be ashamed for being yourself.

I decided to write this after reading Pook's Mill - it got me thinking of my own experiences.
