We often chase goals like finish lines, believing peace lies just beyond them. But what if we're fundamentally misunderstanding the structure of existence?
Think of life as an intricate action game. Its core mechanic isn't reaching a final "Game Over" screen in triumph. The essence lies in the constant stream of missions: goals, dreams, challenges, and yes, worries. Completing one simply unlocks the next. This mission flow only truly ceases when the game itself ends, DEATH.
To me this isn't pessimism; it's profound liberation. Stresses, desires, and uncertainties aren't flaws in the design or obstacles to a distant happiness. They are the gameplay(life). The relentless pursuit, the adaptation, the overcoming – this is the living experience.
True calm and happiness emerges not from eliminating the quests, but from realizing: The journey isn't just the path to the destination; the journey is the destination.
