To you (mou)

Welcome to life.

I look forward to showing you this world—

One full of happiness and pain,

Full of life and death.

A world that will crush you and enchant you,

Full of the magic of nature and its brutality.

Be curious, my son.

Embrace the new, love to learn.

Learn to filter out the noise.

Respect your body, yourself and others.

Be passionate about your dreams, 

not about companies; 

protect those who need it.

Welcome to this amazing, scary, exciting, boring, unjust—yet full of values—place.

It's a short trip, so make it matter the most by doing the wisest thing you can:

Find someone to share it with.

Experience love, rejection, and companionship.

Take risks, but also plan ahead.

Make it last long enough—yet don't play it too safe.

Διαπίστωση #19

When we are born, we are given two finite and valuable resources.

We are given Time and a bucket of Effort.

We should be waking up and going to sleep always having these in my mind. 

Every day gone, every effort spent is a thing of the past. 

Something we will never get back.

Yet, we spend them like we have them in abundance. 

Mindlessly, without cause. 

Only ,close to the end, we realise our mistake, despite knowing their limited nature. 

This is what humankind is about. 

A monstrous intelligence of poor wisdom.
