THE CONSTANT QUERIES OF MY SOUL

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, WAS IT ALL WORTH THE EFFORT SO FAR?
I would like to think so. I mean even if it does not look perfect, I believe it has been productive to a point.
WHAT NOW?
Well, keep going forward, I guess, still the same me so no surprises there.
IS IT THAT SIMPLISTIC?
Not at all. Humans, we can be complex creatures so there is nothing simple in what I will do or I will not.
ARE YOU HAPPY?
That is such a unfair, cliche question to ask. I am content right now.
Happiness is an state of mind not a constant attachment in my life.
HAVE YOU BEEN FAIR?
To whom? To me? Yes. To others, yes.
AFTER THE WARM UP CHIT CHAT MY BROTHER NOW TELL ME, ANY REGRETS?
You are a piece of work indeed. I am not going to generalize by saying everybody have regrets. Instead I am going to answer YES I have regrets. But the more I accept I am a flawed man, the easier it is to acquire humility, vitamin for the soul.
TOUCHE. NOW TELL ME, HOW YOUR DEMONS ARE DOING?
They are doing fine, thank you. I keep them in line. They do not dictate some of my actions like they used to, instead they are enjoying a nice long vacation.
And I do not think so they are eager to go back to work anytime soon.
AH! SARCASTIC AND FUNNY. NICE COMBO. YOU ARE THE INTELLECTUAL TYPE (YOU THINK), EXPLAIN TO ME, HOW DO YOU MANAGE PRACTICAL, EVERYDAY LIFE?
I assume you mean how I live my life without feeling wasting it. Simple, it is all about priorities. You used the correct word, PRACTICAL, that is how I look at life. From a practical point of view. I assess what is important in life at that moment and I make decisions based on that.
CAN I ALSO ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE BECOME "CYNICAL"?
If by cynical you mean a practical approach to life, I have to say YES.
I still believe in others. I am not negative or pessimistic about others.
WELL IT'S BEEN FUN. I MIGHT VISIT YOU AGAIN.
Anytime.
