qu'est-ce que 'la vie' ?

A question often asked.

You can define it as biochemical equilibrium body that is self sufficient.

You can define it as a quantummechanical consciousness.

Or even as a gift from some higher dimensional power.

Either way, we all know it is there. It is one of the very, very few things, we can be certain of in this world!

So first of all Enjoy it

Second, we might find interference in it from all three above called explanations. You will be faced with contradicitions, your life will be hormonal, you will have emotions, you will be dealing with other people. And your faith will fall.

why?

Because that is life. you are an organism, therefore you will make mistakes which in time will hurt others. Fact 1.

You will be troubled with the will of other people, no matter how hard you will try, you will notice you cannot live life solely by your own will. Fact 2.

Your faith will fall, that is good, doubt and contemplation strengthens it, or renders it useless. Either way, believing a fictional tale, will surely put forward many contradictions after all, You didn't think of the tale yourself. Fact 3.


So now what?
enjoy life?

yep.

And if I might suggest an action.

Find someone to love.
real love.

cos as you will miss your limerence when they are gone.
You will not miss the love for them.

No matter what the distance, your love will remain, for that will never be gone. Love is that piece of the other, that isn't part of her at all, but does keenly resemble them, kept here with yourself. Regardless of their choices and actions. Hence you cannot love someone else, if you don't love yourself.

Don't try to achieve happiness through a relationship, you need to know how to become happy by yourself, you are the only one who can do it.

Remember, most people don't think, they can use this list.

You are different from others, and those difference can destroy you, or enrich you, if you are willing to accept them, and not let them consume you.

Friends come and go, and  a precious few stick with you. For they respect you, and also apply to the above list.

You can never always be wise, it is impossible. You will be faced with weak moments, just like you will be faced with strong.

You are never done learning, no matter who writes, no matter what you think. There will always be things to learn. Which is good, otherwise you'd better die.

There is no goal in life, no higher purpose, no reason for life. That is very good. For we are all free.
We are all free to chose our own goals in life. We are free to chose whatever purpose or reason our life should have.
We are utterly free to do whatever we want with our lives.
So keep a weary eye for those who want to supperimpose it upon you, and take care of the young, who didn't have the time or strength, to protect themselves from it.

and for all the other advice,
wear sunscreen.
