Because I would learn from them all. Through a process of trial and error I would become the wisest man in all the land.

But for now I’m gonna settle for watching illegal downloads of the old Digimon cartoon.

But then again, so does any job if you think it seems cool.

But if you don’t have somewhere to clean up your bottom then you are either homeless or outrageously poor.

I hope this advice as been useful to all if not most of you.

Oh DAYUM I’m good. I mean, I just MADE THAT UP. I should write that down-oh wait, I just did.

Shit man …

Imagine never being told what to do. Imagine a world where what you wanted was what you got. Imagine, you could do nothing, to obtain everything. All was within your grasp. No struggle. No fight. No resistance. You could be everything and anything, king and queen of all. You were in charge. No restrictions. You did what you want, and that, was perfectly fine.

Think about it. Really think about it. Think about it for a millennia if you have to. Imagine every possibility.  That nothing could ever stand in your way, make you sad, make you angry, make you regretful, make you anxious. Just, think about it.

Completely think about that.

Take a moment and do that. Take as long as it takes to feel that. Don’t ever stop.

Imagine you had to struggle. Imagine nothing was easy. Imagine you coughed and sputtered through every breath. You were stamped on and crushed by life. Imagine you were the lowest of the low. Everything else shat on you, spit on you, cursed at you and tossed you aside.

Imagine there was no hope and no meaning. Imagine your life as a brick wall. Each brick crumbling with dust, ragged and jarred. Imagine this is the rest of your life. You have to fight for everything. Climb that wall with no certainty of hope.

Everyone and everything is against you. Seemingly odds, possibility, probability. You are the most feeble and rejected thing of all time.

Now, after thinking about that for a long time. A very long time. After soaking that in, after days, maybe months, take years if you must;

Think about nothing. Absolutely nothing. Free your mind from everything. Don’t worry about your taxes, your college fees, your medical bill. Imagine if nothing mattered. Nothing existed. You have NO control. You are nothing with the rest of the world. The rest of the universe. Meaning, need, desire and feelings are absent from your mind.

Take the dearest thing to you and toss it aside, like yesterday’s jam. Forget about everything. Anything. Not even you matter.

Be awake and asleep. Be aware and be away. Be everything and nothing.

Don’t be you. Just be.

Be.

When bad things happen in life it is a sign to stop.

Or, it is life challenging you to push on.

There is no differentiation between the two.
