LIFE Have you ever experienced one of these moments? I'm sure we all have, but never really talk about them. Sometimes, it happens, we feel like absolute shit. Say something really, really sad or shocking happened. Or nothing even happened at all, but somehow you feel terrible. You cry. You're angry. You experience a panick attack. You've got visions, I don't know. Everyone has their problems. And sometimes, you experience quite the opposite. For really no reason at all, you're happy. I'm just in that mood right now. I'm happy to live, to experience, to be. To hell with my problems, they can wait a bit. Are they even worth all the worrying? I'm just happy to exist right now. How does it make any sense that we're able to feel our fingers, our breath, our awareness? Knowledge never has a response for any of that. We're animals, Sapiens, our organs work like this, our ancestors built aqueducts, blah blah. The past is in the past, the future, well, we always get it wrong, and Science explains mechanisms but not reasons. How are you here, reading this? How can you understand what I'm writing? Not scientifically, like "well, my brain processes the image captured by the eyes and—" Nuhuhuh. Look away from the screen for a bit. Feel the present moment. Not in a voodoo-like way, that's already adding a layer of abstraction over it. Not in a religious way either, those provide readymade answers that anyone can spit out without effort. How are YOU here right now? Get it? No? Whatever. It doesn't make any sense at all. Just know that I'm happy to be here, person-who-could-be-from- anywhere-on-the-planet.
