Living is swallowing the scent while watching the candle melt

What It’s Like To Be Alive

Quote to Conversation: Life is the How versus the Now

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life― Eckhart Tolle

I think we don’t always want what we want, we just want an escape because a fantasy seems better than reality, at least for me.

Or perhaps, in another way, it’s that not every change is good. Not every discomfort is good. Not every moment of patience or kindness is necessary good.

There are aspects that seem good because they seem conventional, and so the probabilistic ideology behind such views and paths shows that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

But there is also light behind us. There are different forms of light on the spectrum that we can’t see, and sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is too blinding for us to comprehend or perceive.

Sometimes, it makes sense to soak in what we have and make use of that, instead of chasing something that may never be simply for an illusion that we’ll be free.
