The things you want in life are those that matters most to you. Sounds like re-stating the obvious, isn’t it? What if the things you want in life aren’t really the things that should matter most to you? And who’s to judge which things are more important?
It’s better than sitting in a vacuum, isn’t it? That’s how my friends view it. You worry day in and day out what should matter most and then miss the rest of life thinking about the things that should matter most. All this said over coffee by a bunch of friends who had no idea what they wanted for themselves.
And this was about 4 years ago, now.
Yah, we distinguished between things of temporary value vs. things of enduring value, we thought about who makes those kinds of judgments; your parents, lecturers and religious leaders all seem to have an opinion, eh? Then we thought about it some more and we couldn’t come up with an answer.
So, several years later, I begin to wonder how they will answer now. Now that we’re enjoying the burden of being in the ‘real world’, I wonder if this ‘real world’ really is a sham, an elaborate illusion sustained by a mass of people living the same delusion.
It’ll be a comforting thought for me if this were true.
