Requests.
Please endure the obvious oblivion?
Please understand that everyone has a story; it is important that you show respect to this deliberate, delicate sonder.
Questions.
Why do you have to be so sure about everything in life — unnecessarily stiffed, fixedly jelled into some kind of made-up beliefs, ideas and opinions?
Why don’t embrace the fragility, the unknown,… this abstract life?
Why don’t choose to live free to living inside the box?
Why is it so hard for you to accept the blessings of your existence and the others around you, alongside the insecurities that flourishes between you two.
Why don’t you just collide with plentiful human lives and ever-smile at the uncertainty of their bitter, sweet impact?
Why don’t live like children, always curious despite abominable affairs, gracefully sad but eventually un-sad, given the circumstances that things didn’t work out as fine, as expected?
In the words of Martha NUSSBAUM:
“The condition of being good is that it should always be possible for you to be morally destroyed by something you couldn’t prevent. To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness to the world, an ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own control, that can lead you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very important about the human condition of the ethical life: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something rather fragile, but whose very particular beauty is inseparable from its fragility.”
Life is but series of awaiting events. Few under control. Many, out of control. Always ask of the difference and play wise, play safe.
