l'équilibre

All truly wise thoughts have been thought already, thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take firm root in our personal experience.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe



Life is a brief interpretation of experience. It is composed of our very own ups and downs that we take part in whichever way we are taking it. Upon thinking further, we take note of almost all the various experiences that we are experiencing. We manage to think and learn about it, but the best part is that we share it and imply it to our lives and to others. It is either an adventure worth taking or nothing at all. It is the greatest blessing which is within our reach; though we fall foul on the very thing we search for, without ever finding it.

Definitely, there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; and that he must take it because his conscience tells him that it is right. Have you ever questioned yourself about that? What if the world only thinks that the best way to live life is only to experience the best out of it, and not experiencing the worst? What a splendid world it would be. Now we think again, is it really that splendid that we only feel happiness and that there is no space for any other emotion more than that? Then if it is, you’ll probably need a slap on your face. You deserve it. You’re dreaming. You are coward; very coward to face the truth. You lie in an indefinite measure of boredom. Somehow, if you’ll think further, you’ll realize that you need pain, suffering, loneliness, etc. to complete life. It only shows that you also need these negative surfaces, and not completely rely on positive emotions to learn something out of nothing. This is reality; it never changes. It might be harsh, a very hard thing to comply to, but it is really worth your effort to go and gain it. It helps us to understand and become a more mature person. Remember that when one door closes, another one opens. But often we look so long so regretfully upon the closed door that we fail to see the one that has opened for us. Somehow, if you’ll base it through the quirk of fate, it will only lead you to one road: the realization of REALITY.
