Take a leap off the edge into the unknown darkness, to a place where time means nothing; where everything is still. That is where I am, and that is where I wish to stay.
A wise professor once told me the only thing in life that will never change, is change. So if change is so consistent in our lives, why do we still fear it? If we continuously experience the same wonderful situation, we will never understand defeat and will have nothing to compare. I believe true happiness does not show itself through repitition; for what is joy without a bit of sorrow.
In the spirit of Prague, I read a book by Milan Kundera. He referenced a German quote, translated, "If we only have one life to live, then we might as well have never lived at all." Kundera recognized that because we only have one life, we have nothing to compare our "right" and "wrong" decisions to. But isn't that the beauty of living! Being able to make mistakes; for without these terrible decisions, we will never understand complete bliss. This is why I embrace being human.
So why not ignore time; why not jump off the ledge? There exists only two possible outcomes: the first: you hit rock bottom; which is humbling and full of wisdom. And the other: you realize, even for just a brief moment, that you can actually fly.
The most beautiful aspect of life is being capable of making mistakes.
Again, spoken with wisdom beyond your years yet you get it.
ReplyDeleteMany live life with regrets, and with this fail to take the lessons and continue in the same pattern, never changing, never evolving thus never really living!
