As you read along these lines, sure you’re breathing and your heart is beating.
Are you aware my friend?
And, just in case, if you’re still reading, I want to assume you’re living a relatively comfortable life with all your most basic needs met, including WiFi!
Care to self-examine? self-reflect?
Cool!
However, did it ever occur to you, how delicate, fragile, vulnerable and absolutely naked our real Life is.
The most basic freedom we dance on; this food on the table; perhaps the blanket you’re in, this fine roof over your head; these beautiful clothes you wear & all-to-mandatory cosmetics you put on to add flavors to your otherwise simple-self or be it your lovely family, or the love of your life and even your own youth which we sadly, … insanely take for granted — can be easily snapped off of you or me, in any fucking m.o.m.e.n.t! ANY!
Care to realize?
Have you ever exercised life and the choices you make from this not-so-glittery perspective?
Plus, by saying that, I don’t mean only death as a certain, unexpected predicament to our normal life per se, because, sure there are so-fucking-many shits that can rob and kill us for real.
So, awareness?!
As cited in a poem, Epic of gilgamesh:
Man is snapped off like a reed in the canebrake!
The comely young man, the pretty young woman. All too soon in their prime Death abducts them!
Epic of Gilgamesh
Now since, Life is but a becoming end!
Please choose your life in general & your story specifically — wisely! Deliberately! Beautifully! Gracefully!
Awareness is the key.
And, lastly, a grain of wisdom :-
Don’t mistake real life for an instagram circus. No doubt, it’s way cool out there.
Because, real life is well — Real!
