When studying turns to pondering life

Not that life is a bad thing to ponder. Here is my Sunday evening thought on life, structured in a vaguely poetic format :

Life is simply a war between the known and the unknown.
Where we end up depends on our ability to determine which we should let win in each and every battle.
To abandon all known would lead to a loss of self,
to refuse the unknown, a loss of opportunity.
It is balance in this that will give us the freedom to become who we truly are.


I also believe that it's up to us to be present and show up to each battle, because most of the time they will happen whether or not we've picked a winner. And I think it would be the biggest tragedy of all to get to end of all things and realize that we could have taken charge and accomplished wonders at times when we instead became barely even spectators. This is not to say that I believe that we can control every aspect of our lives and that we can always count on things to turn out the way we've designed them to. But I do believe that we are here on this Earth to learn how to make choices and how to make changes, and that we each have an active part to play in our own lives and the lives of others.

Viva la No Regrets is definitely back. Hopefully to stay.
