Another of life's contradictions ..

Life is never simple, sometimes by choice and at other times, unwittingly, inadvertently.


People strive so hard, every single day :

To climb mountains they do not love,
To amass things they don't really want,
Achieve goals that are hollow and mean nothing,
Realize dream that make living a nightmare,
Attain heights that leave them lonely and acrophobic,
Follow paths that leave them lost,


They keep believing that life is worth living only when we die trying hard ..
.. they are too serious about life to be able to live every moment of it ..

Trying to be brave and living a life they do not want .. it would be so simple to just let go ..

At such time, bravery lies in not being brave but giving up ..
