We are all headed toward the same source we came from.
Your life is not like mine, and mine is not like yours.
There’s no contradiction between these two statements.
It’s like how mountain streams carve their own unique paths to the sea. Then they evaporate and condense somewhere to start the journey all over again.
Yet the opposite is often assumed in our everyday thinking.
People act as if they've bribed fate to avoid getting on the train and will be feasting forever at the Grand Central Oyster Bar.
At the same time, they jealously compare their journey to others’, measuring how successful they are. A scoreboard of popularity, wealth, knowledge, or virtue replaces personal experience.
But your life can’t be reduced to a set of social games—it’s far more complex, interesting, and full of layers. Those who forget this suffer from a vague longing that never finds satisfaction.
A child needs socialization to learn how to hide his thorns. Without it, living in society would be impossible. But once adapted, a person must rediscover his true self, beyond the templates.
To the extent that these two statements are united, a person feels trust in others, love for himself, and openness to whatever comes next.
Sincerely yours,
