The unnecessary struggle

[Agni]

We live in a world that has forgotten itself through constant struggle. People always try to aim higher or aim something that is outside of their grasp. Even tho people will get there eventually.. most of them forget one single thing. And that thing is to live.

We are tense, we are stressed by things that are not in our control directly, or not yet. We see the future as our end and we feel the need to prepare constantly for the worst. While we focus on trying to avoid death or become less than other people, we forget to live. Sure in some instances we do need to be present and be aware of the possibility of death. But doing that all the time when its not needed will certainly bring death to us in other ways. We might not die physically but in other ways we might as well say that we are dead.

There is no problem in having goals and trying to achieve things but you also need to live a little, to take it slow, to relax, to take in the nice picture, to treasure this moment.

My dad told me when you give up your dreams, you might as well be dead, because you're already dead inside. I agree with him, and with this, thanks for the post

I've been consciously doing this. Taking the time to go slow, relax, be grateful to be here.
