Success
What does success mean?
I love being trite and pedestrian with my questions.
Is success having money. It doesn’t feel like it.
Is success having a family. It doesn’t feel like it.
Is success being happy. I wouldn’t know what that means - it’s been a while.
Is success being in love. It’s never felt like it.
Do you really want success? Or do you want peace. I think most people are far too scarred to try for peace. It means not coveting. It means loving more than wanting. It means leaving bad things from bad people at their doorstep and not yours. It means putting others first.
Success seems selfish.
Peace seems like something you can make yours. But very few people are smart and brave enough for peace. Most of them just want things and to be perceived - that’s not peace - that fleeting. That’s pain. I’ll likely die that way - I’m not brave enough to walk away to find peace - because I know what pain lays that wake.
Success isn’t what I’m after. Peace isn’t going to be attainable. The alternative is what ?
