RE: The Cost of Ambition

in #life6 years ago

It is as if everything is just a passing show, but that's just life right?

Yes, it is. For some reason we spend much of our lives being told how much we need another...and we do...but we also need to be comfortable with ourselves, and realize that there is little permanence in life. People come and go. Life changes. Some people feel like they belong in our lives...like we've known them forever...but even they often must eventually go. If we're lucky, it's only after 40 or 50 years or more. If we're not so lucky, it might only be a day. If we're really unlucky, we might find that even though we feel like they belong...in truth, they aren't good for us, and we spend weeks in emotional torment.

It's important to learn to enjoy life no matter what the circumstances. Sadly that skill is so rarely taught anymore.

I followed my own adventurous path to see whatever there was out there for me.

Such is commendable.

Good luck on your journey forward. May you find the path that leads to the future that you don't even know you may seek.

Truth. I think the most important thing is to be comfortable with ourselves first. We all need each other but then we have to accept that nothing is permanent in this life. Easier said than done though, humans need to feel attached to something. If we don't feel that, it's something to be alarmed about too. We are not born to be psychos.

We all want to belong to some place or people. Most would rather be with company in prison rather than be alone in paradise.

Well, paradise without people is just a hot beach with nothing to do.

Though I'm not too certain why so many think of beaches as paradise. They're fun occasionally, but they burn your feet!
