Love etcetera...

 

Today while I was strolling through a parking lot, I kept asking myself what I really wanted in life.

And do you know what the answer was? The answer was that I wanted two things. First, I want love. Then I want happiness. I always have.

After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real love seems to be composed of ecstasy and agony. 

Will I hence never have the only 2 things I desire in life because of the conundrum of their coexistence?

And as someone told me yesterday, rare are the people who actually love.

Plans...

 

Today I break from my usual format to write about the subject of plans. Not so much my plans for this blog particularly, but more about life plans and how we all make them...and how we wish for all our close and loved ones would make good smart safe plans of their own. But if we are really honest with ourselves, most of the time our plans don't work out as we'd hoped.
So instead of asking people: "What are your plans?" or " What do you plan to do with your life?"...maybe we should tell them this: "Plan to be surprised!"
