Inhale... Exhale... This is what we do and we know that we exist. We sometimes need a mirror, to remember how material and mortal this existence is. We have a family, we make friend, we create relationships to believe that our mortal existence matters to some other mortal existence so that we do not feel alone. We invent, we create so that, long after this existence is over, there should be still something that reminds to the next of our species that we actually were here.
Some call this vanity. I call it the circle of life. And I actually do believe that if we understand, and not be taken down by this raw realization of the vanity of life, we can actually be happy in our own skin. And then is when we have the option to go from just inhaling and exhaling to creating and making a living time matter.
Sometimes we just need to place our head over a hill, over the foggy, misty, cloudy reality to realize how simple things are, how small life is and how big us "being" can be.
All we need is a deep breathe of fresh air...
