In fact, there are many, many ways to live life. A unique way for every human being that is and has ever been and always will be.
You don’t have to spend long listening to people to see that we all cherry-pick, that we’re all susceptible to bending the rules (and frankly I encourage this).
Who wrote this rule?
Was I consulted about this?
Does one human have the right to tell another how to live?
Living consciously means questioning so-called authority and when you realise all authority simply denotes someone has written something (see that word AUTHOR at the beginning?) – it’s then you realise how easy it is to con people when they’re sleepwalking through life.
I don’t blame people for being asleep nor do I blame them when they say ‘fuck this shit’, I’m off. Freedom assumes responsibility and that’s painful because it means you have to make the decisions proactively, not defer to someone else.
Them: BUT WHAT DO I DO?
Me: I don’t know, fellow traveller. I’m figuring things out myself.
It’s painstaking, it’s uncertain, it’s uncomfortable, yet it’s good, not nice but good!
Your choice.
