- Life doesn't promise you anything.
Life doesn't promise that you won't fall into the MRT tracks at age 14 and have your legs severed. How could we ever, ever make such fallacious assumptions in words and thoughts like "will", "surely", "definitely". These words have no meaning in reality, they do not exist in the world because the laws and rules of this universe was never built on absolutes, on unchangebles. These words are just salves we use on our emotional wounds, to tell ourselves that everything can be alright.
The greatest lie in the world is the promise of something. No one, owes us these promises, not least the world. Most often, people willingly take the blue pill and never consider trying the red, even though it's always at the back of our minds. Always a reminder that there is more randomness and chaos rather than order and justified, morally satisfying conclusions. The more we expect and believe of this world, the more we'll be disappointed.
I'm done with gurantees. I hate hearing gurantees about life. Stop telling me and presuming how my future will turn out because that is NOT how the world works. Words are for expression, for release. They don't form the concrete of my reality.
Yes, positivity still drives. If you want something, think it hard enough, the universe may bend itself in ways that help to form that reality. You will act in small unconscious ways towards your purpose, because of thought. But at the end of the day, there is still no gurantee. No matter how close you narrow the odds. There never is, even if its 99.99999% possible. Life gurantees and promises you nothing.
So don't for a moment, believe that you're ever entitled to something and then fall disappointed because you didn't win in the lottery of randomness.
If something good happens in life, it is a miracle. And nothing less. One could stand and look out patiently, expectantly for a miracle. But then you'll wait a long time and most probably, in futility.
Fuck miracles. Expect nothing.
