Journal 21 - Living on the Edge

My life is not at risk. However, it might be on the edge if you consider some aspects and possibilities. The things that could happen are just scary. I think the government, nature, the flow of life, and death are forces beyond our control. There are plenty but those are the four main ones I thought of while writing this journal. Willpower, energy, fate, hope, motivation and mind are the forces that determine what I do that are coming from me. I wrote this because I never always have full control of them meaning it is very hard for me to do somethings such as being motivated at nine pm at night. I would only get my motivation to do work later at night or I wouldn't do it at all. I have many risks when the forces turn hostile. If nature turns hostile, there is an issue of life and death. With the government, if there are political problems, there can be death, and poverty but on the bright side there could be prosperity. The flow of life controls how rich or poor the family is. Life and death are mostly not within our controls. May be life is but not all aspects of life is under control. You can't prevent that one day you will die. You can speed up the coming of death by destroying your health and you can also slow down the coming of death by preserving good health. However, you can't stop death from coming to you. My friends and family gives me hope during hopeless times so that I can achieve my goals. I sometimes get tired of life and when that happens, I remember a quote I have read before. It is by R. D. Laing and it says, "Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent." This might just be my favorite quote.
