These days you are considered a weirdo if you live without a phone. Yet nobody cares if you live without a purpose. Anything wrong with that picture?

No matter what they say, you always have a choice. You just don’t always have guts to make it.

I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something…there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.
JRR Tolkien (The Two Towers)

I’m not ambitious. I just want the world to drop dead at the sight of my awesomeness, that’s all.

There are so many people in this world who were taught they need a career, but never told why. They spend their lives chasing after the next promotion, but if you ask them why they want it so badly they would have a hard time answering, because they have no clue. And so they live these empty meaningless lives without even knowing they are empty. They just wonder sometimes why there’s no happiness and what’s missing. They don’t understand that without knowing the why you can’t be happy. You can be wildly successful, whatever this means, but not happy.

That’s where it all begins. That’s where we all get screwed big time as we grow up. They tell us to think, but they don’t really mean it. They only want us to think within the boundaries they define. The moment you start thinking for yourself—really thinking—so many things stop making any sense. And if you keep thinking, the whole world just falls apart. Nothing makes sense anymore. All rules, traditions, expectations—they all start looking so fake, so made up. You want just get rid of all this stuff and make things right. But the moment you say it, they tell you to shut up and be respectful. And eventually you understand that nobody wants you to really think for yourself. But if you still develop this bad habit, you need to learn another trick—to keep your mouth shut.

“A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl.”

 - Stephan Hoeller
