关于我

CURRENT MISSION

Become the master of confusion

ABOUT ME

I cannot write all about me. And if I could, I wouldn't do it. Where is the point of meeting me in person any longer?

PHILOSOPHY

I'm going in search of the adventure of being alive.
And it's complicated: Why am I not looking for happiness when everyone has taught me that happiness is the only goal worth pursuing? Why am I going to risk taking a path that no one else is taking?
After all, what is happiness?
Love, they've told me. But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.
All right then, peace. Peace? If we look at the world, it's never at peace. The winter does battle with the summer, the sun and the moon never meet, the tiger chases the man, who's afraid of the dog, who chases the cat, who chases the mouse, who frightens the man.
Money brings happiness. Fine. In that case, everyone who earns enough to have a high standard of living would be able to stop working. But then they're more troubled than ever, as if they were afraid of losing everything. Money attracts money, that's true. Poverty might bring unhappiness, but money won't necessarily bring happiness.
I spent a lot of time looking for happiness; now what I want is joy. Joy is like sex: begins and ends. I want pleasure. I want to be contented, but happiness? I no longer fall into that trap.
You're surrounded by a universal desire. It's not happiness, it's desire. And desires are never satisfied, because once they are, they cease to be desires.
