Hopes and Fears

We had to drive 1000km to be here. The drive was southwards, the easiest direction when you start so high in the North. We hoped on better weather; we hoped on wonderful weather, sun, warmth, a gentle breeze and a shore covered of topless girls. We got cold pouring rain, icy winds, wet grass and the heating turned on. What a delusion. Was our delusion a result of the weather, or a result of our hopes? We feared the weather to remain like that, what a joy when the sun appeared above the hills! It's the power of expectations. Hope makes us unhappy, cause we get deluded, and if not, we just expected to go that way. Fear does not help either. Intensity seems to be the key. Make your life worth living, make every single day worth living. And intensity is the opposite of stability, intensity is change. We didn't notice the sun, but when it disappeared, or reappeared. I forgot I had a knee, up to the moment it started hurting. We forget everything, but what changed us.

Happiness is change.

So change clothes and be happy.

Change hairdo, and be happy.

Change job, change house.

Change partner.

Change children.

Be Happy
