Getting and choosing

Getting what you want is not the hard part. Choosing what you want is.

Because the more we get, the more we realize the cost of getting.

We might try making better choices but to no avail. One day, we might stop choosing. We might realize getting isn't worth it.

But we must choose something. Life forces it. This leads to frustration.

The only liberation is to continue strategically choosing until you don't have to anymore. At some point, we can find a place where we can, but don't need to, choose.

Sure, we will probably still choose. But the outcome of our choice no longer matters - internally or externally.

Being purposely dissconnected from getting and choosing is the ultimate freedom.
