Fight fight fight. I have been going through a lot of weird stuff lately. Mostly positive, but also some challenges. Work has been very busy and stressful. And yet, I still love my job. I love my job so much. I thank the universe every day for the fact that I like my job, because it really is a huge blessing. I only hope that I can really contribute to my company and help take it to the next level, because we really could get huge.
Lately I've been thinking a lot about how little I know. From the very big, macrocosmic-level issues...does life have meaning, do I have a destiny, am I somehow the architect of my own reality...to the very small, day-to-day issues...is it right to do this or that, am I taking care of everything on my to-do list, I am keeping myself healthy...there's just so much uncertainty in life. And it seems like there really is no way to know.
不識廬山真面目只緣身在此山中
Life is always going to be overwhelming for all of us I think. Or at least, it will be if you are paying attention. The thing to do is just to let yourself be overwhelmed. It's hard to do that because we want to be in control. Evolution and nature and culture puts pressure on us to fight, and to win. But ultimately you can't win, per se. Technology may help us transcend our current, physical limitations, perhaps. But there are just too many huge forces beyond our control. We're all mortal, for the time being. So if you just relax, let yourself be overwhelmed, then you can sort of be free.
That's not to say that we should give up. Letting yourself be overwhelmed is not that at all. It just means that you're not fighting reality. You're just doing your best without resisting what is.
Fight fight fight, but also let things be.
