After all, what is life? I like to always think of life in blocks of ten years. This always makes me think like this: If I had the conviction that I wouldn't be here ten years from now, what would I do?
If a doctor said to me: look, you are certainly ten years old. Are you going to keep doing the things you do? Will your schedule remain the same?
Are you going to keep spending so much time on superfluous things? Sometimes life is buried more than death itself. When we can't handle life.
When we are not able to look at the difficulties we have. When we don't face our limits in a positive way. When we bow to our weaknesses, our frailties.
When we create this spirit of victim, of poor people. . .
I will not allow life to bury me more than death itself. Don't want a life without suffering, want a life with struggle. That's what distinguishes honest people in today's world.
Those who are able to look at the limits they have. I have this limit, but the limit is mine, I'm not his. I was told that the purpose of life is to get rich.
And it's a lie. Building equity, earning money, no time seemed short. An anguish that doesn't go away when life is done.
And a life in pursuit of material benefits is a life made. And for me it proves why you die. You die and all assets remain.
You don't take, what do you take? If you were born you will die. The meaning of life is death.
Is this the life I'm wanting to lead? With the people I want? Ask what we are making of ourselves!
What do I want? Where will this take me? Who am I?
Does it make me happy or not? Life is too short people, it is too fast, it is too fleeting to waste time in a mediocre existence, a small existence, in a weak existence. It's too little time for that.
We need to be brave. We need to look this life in the face. Enough of failed people.
Enough of people unwilling to take on life. What do you want out of life? I replied: everything I can take.
Because money, comfort, social consideration, privilege, is not enough for me. I wanted more than that. What I wanted I didn't quite know.
But I wanted the satisfaction of being alive and I didn't have it. I don't know what I want out of life. But I'm learning what I don't want.
I won't see a fair world but I work for a fair world. Because if I don't work for a fair world, my life is meaningless. If I have an existence that benefits my surroundings that I see that people give benefits that are good for other people, that makes me happy.
I can't enjoy privileges in the face of misery, I find it embarrassing, I find it shameful. The schedule is for you to be a relentless competitor. This is not just a teaching model, and above all the media, the commercial media that infiltrates every home using psychology of the unconscious to create false, material, superficial values .
To create compulsive consumption cravings. And the people behind these artificial and material needs forget to satisfy their internal and material needs. No wonder you take tons of antidepressants every day.
Because lives are depressing when they're just focused on the material. Steve Jobs puts it this way: "Remembering that I will be dead soon is the most important tool I have ever found to help me make great decisions. Because almost everything external expectations, pride, fear of embarrassment or failure fall to death leaving only what is most important.
" The problem is not the money. The problem is not the matter. The problem is ambition.
The problem is selfishness. The problem is the craving. The problem is the need to be better than others.
From implanted, artificial need . If you are content and use only what you need, you will have an evolutionary behavior. The problem is when you start to feel that you need more than you really need.
If the feeling had in the foreground, society would be different. Come down from there that you are not able to command. Feeling will lead.
Be honest with the life you are writing. Be honest with the fears you feel. Be honest with what truly deserves your commitment.
Be honest with what truly deserves your attention. It could be that we are wasting time in life. Because we are paying attention to what really doesn't need to be.
Individualized human beings in their own pursuits lose awareness of their identity. He loses awareness of who he is. He loses consciousness of what life is, life, what life is!
You lose the ability to realize that life is short. My friend, if I am aware that life is brief then life is brief. I need to enjoy every second of life and remember that life is brief and fragile.
First thing to see, people want to find a way out and there is no way out. Seeing reality is the first thing to do before you decide what to do. Human society is not human yet, it is rehearsing to be.
And eliminate that urge to see the world evolved. We are not going to see the world evolved, we are going to see the world evolving. If you dream of a perfect world you will die disillusioned.
If you are content to work on improving the world, you will fulfill your life with satisfaction. And you will know that you are not going to reap these fruits, you are going to be planting them. And that alone will satisfy your life.
If we could be aware of how fleeting our life is. perhaps we would think twice about throwing away the opportunities we have to be and to make others happy. We don't know how long we will be decorating this garden and we neglect it.
We take little care of ourselves for others. We grieve over small things and waste precious minutes and hours. We complain that we don't have or we think we don't have enough.
We charge others, life and ourselves. Now, today is still time to rebuild something. Don't look back, what's gone, what's lost, what's lost.
Look ahead. It is still time to appreciate the flowers that are all around us. It's still time to give thanks for the life that even fleeting is still in us.
