Hate life for the lack of direction
Or
Love it for the freedom it punishes us with.

Book VIII
5. Before all things, be not perturbed. Everything comes to pass as directed by universal Nature, and in a little time you will be departed and gone, like Hadrianus and Augustus. Then, scan closely the nature of what has befallen, remembering that it is your duty to be a good man. Do unflinchingly whatever man’s nature requires, and speak as seems most just, yet in kindliness, modesty, and sincerity.
The Meditations of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, by Marcus Aurelius

True happiness is an intrinsic mindset, not an extrinsic destination.

@Ferric67

Happiness or no happiness. Within you or outside of you. Your own attitude or the storms that surround you. Dependency or independency..life is variation and the love of life is the love of all of that.

Some think it's inner fulfillment, for some it might be acceptance ..journeys defer including those about self knowledge.

It is easy...just go outside and look up and feel the warmth of the sun on your face.

@okaybut The worst advice you could give to a vampire.

@Miram Hmm...okay...go into the night and see and feel the beauty of the calm peaceful powerful darkness.

@SW-User I didn't have him at mind when I wrote this but I can see the relationship, especially with the absurdity of existence and his emphasis on passion.

You seem doomed, is that how you truly feel? Why? Would you tell me your story?

Get ready to wait
Miram · 31-35, F
@jehova wait for what?
jehova · 31-35, M
@Miram thats my point such things in life occur rarely. If genuine or at all.
Miram · 31-35, F
@jehova The second is a choice. It is not something that happens to you. A purpose doesn't have to be a thrill.
