Ways of life.

 Life isn't to be documented in the eat-sleep-work schedules and the details of it; it should be something more. Many a times, actual experience is a side-track to an original pursuit; say like in a relationship, the chase of endorphin highs also gives a sense of companionship with a person and thus begins a long time of togetherness. 

To know everything as it happens. Or to discern it from a distant future and be in a blissful ignorance and just participate in the now, with hope and optimism. The former aligns with a high functioning brain and it brings stress as a side effect; the latter is easy on the psyche. 

Thus awaiting surprises is easier on the brain health than to come to term with everything; unless, one has trained to be in a stoic imperturbable state. Any awareness about the details (or depth) therefore makes people scroll back with a 'too much details' and choose to distract themselves with some arc/activity.  

To be in a depth/details where there isn't much(or any) of himself but the thorough participation in the act, event or work. That would mean a mindful expenditure of time. The spotlight on some place elsewhere other than oneself. Not all are with the consternation about themselves; but some eventually arrive there out of some sequence of events that unfolds. 

None of this matters in the end, but one is to be in a state of unawareness about that short lived nature of life to ensure a thorough participation! The paradoxes!
