Sometimes I wonder: how is it even possible for some people to survive if they go with no life vision day after day, week after week, year in, year out? Desiring something great, but unable to achieve it, because of vanity.
How do they survive? Their days are busy with so much stuff that they can’t take a breath. Because of this vicious cycle, their bodies are wearing out. Only on the sick bed do they start thinking of things bigger than themselves. If they are lucky enough to stay there and have some rest.
How do they survive? They owe everyone attention, answers, help, responsibilities, love, and appreciation. They invest in everyone’s lives. They never treasure their own.
How do they survive? No proper rest, no quiet place, no time to think, recalibrate, change the strategy, change the approaches. They just run.
How do they survive? They eat, consume, they need more food, more things, a better coat, a better car, a bigger house, more money, more loans and mortgages. They can’t be satisfied.
How do they survive? They care about what everyone thinks, and they give whatever other people want. They can step on their values to just align with other people’s plans for their life. They never resist. And if they do, it is because everyone does it.
How do they survive? No happiness, no peace, no fulfilment, no contempt. Just temporary enjoyment from mere things that will vanish tomorrow.
How did I become a survivor?
