What you want(.)(?)(!)

So many ways to express that phrase, yar?!

“Knowing others is Wisdom. Knowing yourself is Enlightenment.” – Lao Tzu

I’m not so full of inspirational quotes, but I just thought this so apt. We are learned people, studying many things, from evolution, to relativity, to finance, to computing, etc … we seem to know so much … we seem to know others well …, yet, possibly, the 1 person you least know is – yourself.

Guilty as charged!

Living off the dreams and hope of others gets you no where. Living off the aspirations and expectations of others, also, gets you no where. You just have to decide what is it you want. What is it you truly love.

I guess, receiving enlightenment, isn’t about climbing up tremendous amounts of stairs to reach the highest peak of some obscure mountain, or I would have already attained now.

Figuratively speaking, I guess, it’s about going millions of miles deep within yourself, into the darkest parts, the deepest crevice of your heart to feel the beat, see the pulse and come to realization.

So, as you ‘walk through the valley of the shadow’ you are either all by yourself or you have some one with you or you have someone with you and also have God. (Pick your choice, depending on your … erm … belief.) It’s always good to have someone or God there. That way, you don’t stay lost too long. (I meant stay lost … cos’ you most probably WILL get lost.)

And, at the end of this whole conversation, with myself actually, I have come to realization that I still have no realization of what I want or am.

You’re troubled. Troubled, because you feel excited, happy and afraid all at once. (So, which right?)
