My Best Hours of Life?

Former Member
Former Member
31 Mar 2013

It's not a very uncommon situation to find myself being having sleepless nights because I'd rather do something else but sleep.

I as probably many others before me, if not everyone. Is thinking about "what is the meaning of life?".
Well, my answer to that would be quite simular to the YOLO (You Only Live Once) that you have probably heard about. But let me explain it further:

 

Sometimes I feel the people around me are strongly consumed by money and power. That they forget to enjoy their life!

Money is just a value of your life that will grant access to opportuneties.

But whatever makes you happy, is what you should spend as much time as possible at.

 

Which brings me back to, "why am I awake?".

I'd rather say "why do I sleep?".

Sleeping is also another value of life in the same line as money. You only sleep when your body feels like it have to!

Your body is made in such a way that it will naturally tell you when something has to be done... This includes sleeping.

If you don't feel tired, you can keep on spending your time at what you love most. In my case, that is often games or programming.

 

If you would like kickstarter for enjoying your life, I can tell you that there is a possibility that you might not wake up tomorrow! Yeah, you might for whatever reason die while sleeping.

I'm going to add a reference here to a very informative tv-show called "1000 ways to die". Which is very good to have in mind...

"There are very many ways to die. The fact that we survive it all, is a miracle! Every day we live, we face a 1000 ways to die!"

 

Thanks for reading. Best of luck with YOUR life. =)
