I don't care anymore.

We don't own anything here save the chance to pass through this so called Life. Then what? I don't really know because no one really asked me if I wanted to be here, and I don't really know where I came from to begin with. This is the reason why we are all bipolar: ecstatic one day, depressed the other. This is a crazy world.

I am not happy today, nor do I see a spark in the sun's light at sunrise. All this tells me is that I have to wake up and work, eat, walk, then sleep again. Others achieve lots of things, and somehow feel happy about them, but that can get cancelled out by some random event one given day. Time for another pity party.

How should we then live?

I don't know. I just don't want to strive anymore, since we are actually striving for that which we don't know: the Future. The best thing we can do is to live simple daily lives, expecting nothing from no one and ourselves. We can eat when we are hungry, drink when thirsty, smile when amused, cry when lonely, shout when angry, rest when weary. We can only be human. The unknown is for the supernatural, and it is not in our physical or mental capacity to hold it in our hands. We can only get a glimpse of it, a vague idea of what it feels and looks like. In our dreams.

Everybody is rushing trying to figure out how to be rich, and hopefully happy. "YOU" is on the tube, and everybody is watching until "YOU" has passed away. Why do we rise up in the morning only to get into bed and sleep at night? What are we doing this cycle for?

Simplicity is the key to contentment. And contentment is the key to happiness. More actually gathers weight, and weight is heavy on the body, heart, mind, and soul.

Today, I will not strive to be happy. Rather, I will keep things simple, pure, and natural. I will break bread and pour wine in remembrance of him who brought me here, sustains me here.

When you stop striving, you won't have to strive anymore indeed.

I have everything I need.
