The Meaning of My Life

Today I will move with unlimited energy!

I will imagine myself with Faustian energy

at each part of my day,

and I will act!

I will pursue unique experiences,

for these complex me,

round me whole.

This is how to live,

and with these aberrations I will be saved

from the wandering path

onto the one True Meaning.

I mustn't forget to be present,

squeeze the joy out of the experience,

and smile all the while

because these aren't obligations

like school work or chores.

It is all meaningless

and I'm doing it merely

to taste life’s sweeter fruits.

At the same time I will not expect

to do everything with vigour,

for a rich experience is costly

in energy and time,

and with such a shaky purpose

much will be done through discipline.

Why live? Not think?

Why let the body move

and not the mind?

Because if one thinks

he remains in the same spot

his whole life.

It is gold and pyrite.

You can think of aspirations and fantasies

and run childishly through your mind,

however if you “think” only thoughts of action

you will find yourself not standing

but swept by the rush of life.

Today I will move with unlimited energy!

These experiences always take a leap of courage

because people will sneer and cringe

and you’ll molest yourself by the thoughts of others.

The thoughts of others is perhaps the strongest trap known to man,

for it was made by evolution

to keep you uniform with society and to avoid chaos.

But I've learned that greater chaos brings stronger order.

Nobody thinks twice about your actions,

we are all obsessed with ourselves.

This realization may be the most freeing of all

for it clicks the trap open to the greatest freedom,

the highest place in society,

and from there life becomes easy.

Today I will move with unlimited energy!
