Rust away with me in the night..

(Thank you Priit L. for the photograph.)

I recieved a comment from a complete stranger
regarding my previous post.
One of his final sentences grabbed my attention:
"...or just take things as they come?" (- Nabil)

Good point that one.
The notion of planning very little.
Allowing Life to take its natural course.
Trying to survive along it.

The truth is
that we have very little influence over life.
One moment we may be planning the most incredible event,
just to be hit by a speeding bus the next.

There is a certain beauty to that however.
It allows us to be Free.
It allows us to remember
that not everything is ours to choose.
Thus, not everything is our fault.
In fact, very little often is.

Circumstances are extraordinary sometimes.
Regardless of our Willpower,
our astounding Obstinacy,
and even our Emotions towards life,
we die,
we suffer.

The beauty here is simple though.
The chances of suffering are just as plausible
as the chances of falling in Love
or maybe, for the luckier ones,
finding Home.

Myself,
I believe in just living.
Planning works to some extent,
but at the end, there are far too many uncontrollable factors.
That is the freedom we are offered.
Now it is up to us to accept.
I just hope that we don't Rust away in all our pain,
and learn to focus on all the Pleasures.
