I’ve been on the edge of something momentous that I couldn’t quite grasp for most of my recent life. My way of thinking and my whole way of life are going to change from this moment on. Because its finally dawned on me that the memories you have and that the love that you experience are the only things in this world that mean anything. All my life I’ve been looking at the world and humanity in the wrong light. For so long now I thought that life was pointless.

Well at first the ideas of honor, courage, and striving for your success and power were what living life should have been by. Then I slowly started to come out of that when I realized that the only reason I’d felt this way is because this was how I was programmed to think. So I became disillusioned because I no longer believed my core values anymore. I was lost and trapped in my own pessimistic frame of mind. It went in circles and I knew something was wrong and that there had to be more, but I couldn’t find what that was so I started to think there wasn’t anything more and that there was no point to anything. We were just all here doing our mundane tasks and after a life’s struggle we would rot in the ground after we died ,and that would have been the end of our pointless depressing existence.

Now I see things so much clearer, the point of life is to strive for harmony and to strive to find your soul-mate and to enjoy what leads you there. The whole point of life is not the end result but your trials and tribulations that you endure to make to the end of this broken path leads you right to who you were meant to be with. I feel like everything I need to know I now know and that I’ve learned the meaning of life. Now I’m not trying to be cliche or sappy here, but it makes sense im not just writing a card for hallmark here.

You spend the early part of your life going to school so that you know how to act in society, but society is a fickle thing. It demands perfection and if you don’t have it you are pushed away to the side. The whole point of education is asinine in that you spend 19 years of your life preparing you for what everyone tells you is this most important thing in your life. What’s the most important thing that everyone tells you is going to run your life? Well its your job.

Now your job shouldn’t be your life and certainly shouldn’t define you as a person. People need to have the mind set that the only reason any of us work is to live; we should not live to work. If your living your life to go in to work your not going to be happy. There will be this hole in you that you’ll always feel its emptiness. Honestly I cannot remember a time when I was “just happy” and nothing else. I’ve been living solely for the purpose to get through another day and get closer to the point where I would die and it would be done. This is not acceptable. Do you really want to look back on what you’ve done just to decide that you haven’t been living your life, but merely enduring it?

In an attempt to try to prove my point to you I want to look at it from this perspective. Which would you be more willing to live without. Would you rather lose your job, your house, and even your life. OR would you rather that all the memories that you have with your girlfriends, wives, and family be wiped away forever? Which would you choose? The pain is worth the result. The world is a shitty place sure, but if you find that a person that you are truly happy with. The world will be a better place; if only for a short time.
