RE: A Portrait of Arrogance

in #life6 years ago

He who has everything does not have nothing,
and having nothing is better than having everything.
They do say after all that perfection is reached not when you have nothing to add,
But when there is nothing left to subtract.
To have nothing then is to have perfection,
and to have everything is to have perfect imperfection.

Have everything and your eyes will be blind to the beauty that surrounds you.
Have nothing and you can see beauty even in a grain of sand.

Have everything and you will use that everything to fill the void that can only be filled by the things that matter most when you have nothing, things like love, joy, laughter, peace of mind and most of all knowledge of self.

You can own things and have nothing. Having nothing does not mean not having things. Having nothing means not being owned by your possessions. Having nothing means not attaching your identity to what you have or do not have. Having nothing means realizing that to have a happy, satisfying, fulfilling life that is full of love, excitement and peace of mind you need to strip away all your possessions, all of your achievements, all of the things you did in the past, all of you hopes, dreams and wishes, all of the things of which you are most proud, all of the experiences.

To live a happy, meaningful, exiting, loving, satisfying life, you need to know who you are at your core, and having nothing opens your eyes to the truth of who you are, having everything hides it.
