" 'And that,' put in the Director sententiously, 'that is the secret of happiness and virtue-liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny.' "
i love how deliciously a brave new world encompasses what i fear in almost every human being, including myself, at exactly the point that i realized it.
the tethers of stability and control and security and money and possesions seem to be stronger than ever now, while those of love and happiness and discovery on every level possible seem to be hanging on by a thread.
everyday someone buys into happiness rather than feeling it for themselves.
i cant even organize what im thinking right now and where exactly its coming from, but to put this simply
i do not want to live my life by working, working to get something, waiting for life to hand me what i need, in constant need of some thing or house or tv or job.
i dont want to settle for any less than what i know is real.
i dont want to settle for a mediocre life.
i dont want fake happiness or blind myself, or kid myself.
i dont want to always be searching for something to make me happy, i want to be happy.
i dont want to be waiting for life to happen, i want to watch it as it opens up before me.
i want to find the right pieces and put them together.
i want to be satisfied, and suprised, and ecstatic.
i dont want to stand in one place when i know i made a wrong turn.
i want to find someone just as happy as i am to be in each others company.
i want so much and i just think that if i dont keep reminding myself of it i'll forget and let it go.
and i think that where i stand now is a good place to start.
