All life has to offer you are moments, there are good moments and there are bad moments. In the end, all that matters is whether or not you've lived up to each moment, good or bad, that life has handed you to live, if you have, then, no matter what, you can say that you've lived a good life, a proper life.
It is said that life is a gift…, I disagree, life is a challenge, a struggle, if you are to keep on running, then you must wear your shoes, and strap them well, so they don't fail you through your paths.
A strong foundation is good, but it is never enough, there is always more that is required of you…, it turns out that "blood, sweat and tears" don't suffice either…, there is the need for that additional spark: the will to live, the courage to endure through the bad and to live through the good.
It is never enough to strap your shoes, you must know how to act, when to collect your gains, when to show your losses for what they are... losses.
Lessons in losses, losses in lessons, everything goes around, and around it goes...
Every circular motion has an end in a path away from freedom: freedom is to escape in kairos into a new rotation, to survive through the meekness to will to power, not the power that humans want for themselves, to keep the unkeepable in the face of decay, but a power to autonomy... to self-reference... to self-determination... to dignity...
