The essence of life lies in our attitude, our manner, feelings, and position toward events, people, and things. It’s a subtle yet profound orientation of the mind that shapes our experiences and determines how we navigate the world.
In 2024, I came to understand this even more deeply. Each passing day felt like a lesson, emphasizing how we perceive events not as they unfold, but as they fade into the past. It’s not the event itself but how we process it that truly matters.
There is nothing to be happy or unhappy about
We go on living, thinking that the world is supposed to be a logical and consistent place. Well, that is not the case. All misery comes from our idea that the world is true. We assume that if the world is true then we are also true. This self-importance is the main reason for our feelings of depression, sadness, emptiness, and anxiety.
Without any prior warning, suddenly, we have a taste of our own being but we have no clue what is it. From the very beginning we have no knowledge of our real nature. Everything is hidden away from us. And still is.
In life we are forced into a series of activities and experiences. That makes us human beings, bodies with the name. By the time we pick up our beliefs and duties... Our seemingly purposeful actions follows one another and there is no end to them and no escape. We are lost in our experiences... it's said - we are living our life but that is not a case - we are just being lived.
Dazzled by the superficial worldly events, inventions and discoveries, that made us lazy, we have no explanations for anything. With our attitude we paint the picture of our life without noticing that the same thing is repeated... over and over again.
Life is a dream, a vivid, intense attachment to experiences and the pursuit of meaning. Yet, no matter how fiercely we cling to it, this dream has an end. The peculiarities of our experiences will fade, and the curtain will inevitably close on our play.
2024 has taught me one thing: there’s no time to waste. Awakening from the slumber of complacency is urgent. Now that I know the truth, I feel a deeper sense of freedom to live fully — to play, dance, cry, laugh, and embrace the intensity of life.
The curtain will close, and our piece will end, applause or not. But until then, let us create, love, and explore with all we have.
