We are beings. What is a being a being? Is it the sum of all our qualities that makes us, or is the tendencies we have for certain things? Whatever the case is it seems all boils down to commanding our lives in accordance with ourselves. What is ourselves? What is, I?
Our potential is the sum of all possibilities, given all of our circumstances and stances. Our path, chosen is always one among those many possibilities. Life is an ocean; although we can go anywhere, the past is gone, and the future is many.
Sometimes, we choose a—the path we cannot foresee. We found ourselves amidst a storm. However, there were no indications of the hurricane. At those points in our lives, we try to survive the storm. Not physically, but mentally. I insists on being I against the storm. If we do not give up, the storm teaches us how to be more I. It gives us clues about how to navigate further storms as it teaches us how to assert ourselves against the will of the world. The fundamental conflict between desires and realities.
After the turbulent period, we may find ourselves in a relatively calmer point at the ocean. There may even be stars above on a cloudless night or the brightest sun at the farthest horizon.
We ask why. What is the point of having all this? What is life testing us against? Why are we, we? Why did it all happen like this? We ask ourselves the questions, verbalizing them to the outside. Why?
We may sometimes desire that things would have been different.
But the point is choosing a destination. It is not shaping ourselves to our inner shoulds. It is the act of evolution. Life is a process, not a state. And if we want a state, we miss the life itself.
So, what do we do when we realize that our only navigator is the life itself? Our navigator is not having a navigator after all. And when we understand there is no navigator, only I remains in the ocean.
Regardless of where you have started, it is this unique, most valuable journey that you travel in the ocean. The destination is yours, and as you travel along, the questions of Why are answered. Not that others or the world possessed it, but because the answer is an oak seed. Every seed needs water, and you are the only water that can make it a sprout.
