The road not taken

 Observation of the patterns to know how things work..


But from my end, the realisation that to spend the lifetime giving shape to the programming of the species is one thing; the exhaustion of that journey called life in the aforementioned way is another.

When working for survival (driving, maneuvering people, earning) or when engaging thoroughly in a purpose.. I feel alive. No stress. Clean energy.
