Let's choose one or the other of the either roads (or NOT)!
And the hesitation, does it comes rarely(?), Nooo!, we are very frequently and
suddenly put to situations where we have to choose between roads (in other
words, options).
Of course, how to choose and what to choose are the questions. But did we ever
ask why? But of course it depends on the context, let's not give it a context,
let's talk abstract. Why? is the question. Maybe to be like a stoic or
something, not sure!
The advice from a stoic would be to not choose but just hang around at the fork
and not think about it at all, just try to be at peace, the hesitations aside.
But no we have to make a choice, why? because, the world isn't going to wait for
us! We have to make a choice and move along with the world, fast forward. We can
deal with whatever comes.
No! but sometimes it's not worth moving along, sometimes we can just sit at the
fork and think through things, cars, engines, birds or rocket ships or the
stars, really, anything at all, because it doesn't matter what about, anything
will do, why not! thinking is fun, just living the fantasy that we forgot to
live, the fantasies that engulfed us when we were children, make a peace out of
the fork, build a house on the fork, a house of fantasies, a house of the colors
from the river on the night sky, a house of wind and the smell of dirt or grass,
a house on no where, wouldn't that be fun!
Here again comes the 'but', the other 'but', that is, you start to hear a
calling from one of the roads, it's a call for you to continue along and at this
point even though you are sure of the choice you need to make, it's not really a
choice anymore, it has become the destiny, this is the path of your life, but
you cannot make the choice, you cannot leave the fork, the house of no where!
You have already fallen in love with the fork and the house, so why bother!
This clinging nature (from clingon maybe!!!!) to things is going to be the end
of you. You wanted to be free, to live a life of a free spirit, and you always
forget to be free, you always forget to think, you always forget to keep the
fantasy alive, you always forget that wherever you are you can wrap yourself
around with the house, because the house is of nowhere and you are always at the
nowhere unless you make it a somewhere. Remember the difference between a
nowhere and a somewhere, only then you will be able to not forget.
I will make a stoic out of you.
