the decision


what is worth fighting for in life? what are the most important things? can one think about life in terms of longevity, and live according to the idea that no moment should be wasted? i sometimes feel this way, that we only have on average 80 years or so, and to spend any amount of it NOT working towards true happiness is extremely wasteful. i think one can know what they want, who they want and do whatever they can to achieve those things. to fight for those things. it is like a line from a song, "i'd rather be working for a paycheck, than trying to win the lottery." that job, that "paycheck" is the thing you really want, and you work for it. not droning beat down work, but inspired passionate pursuit of something crafted and loved. ok. good.
