No Strings
I stumbled upon a great quote today by Cheng Yen:
Happiness does not coming from having much, but from being attached to little
How true? It seems like we are happiest when our lives contain no strings – no material things, no pets that can die, no significant others we care enough about to hurt us during break-ups, no kids to worry about getting hurt or sick. But, when does a life of no strings get tiring? Maybe never. Maybe there will always be some exotic destination to jet off to or something to throw money at besides saving it for a child’s college tuition. Maybe there will always be a hot Pool Boy that you never get close enough to for them to break your heart.
But, on the flip side, maybe a life of strings is worth living. Maybe a life where you risk your heart everyday is the only life worth living.
