The Purpose of Life is Life

As the world shuts down, one must wonder

What is the purpose of life?

Is it merely to stay alive, or is it to live?

How much are you willing to give up in order to keep your heart beating and your lungs breathing.

What is there to live for, if everything is taken away?

If your spirit is crushed

All consumed by fear and hysteria.

Fear, is the great enemy

And it’s the fear of death more precisely that we’re all enslaved to.

But perhaps it’s not all the fear death; perhaps it’s also the fear of Life.

Let’s be clear, there is no life, without some element of risk.

Without courage,

Without personal responsibility

It’s easy to hide away in the shadows and slowly whither away, deluding yourself into safety.

Outsourcing your wellbeing to others

But it’s difficult to stand up and be counted
