It was going to be a la gossip magazine. You know, the one where people blabber about nothing – write pages and pages about nothing.

Isn’t that impressive? From having nothing to say one might write a whole magazine every week, and sell it for quite a bit of money. Because apparently people like nothing. They dwell on made up problems and unnecessary drama. They like to make it confusing. But who are they?

Well, but no one knows. And more importantly, no one even cares. It’s just always they, because of them, for them and it’s their fault. And why would they care? Why to care about nothing? Nothing is there already, without any extra effort. So why bother oneself with something unimportant when there are so many important things to take care of?

Why? Why! Why even ask?! Don’t ask a question if you don’t want to hear the answer. Hmm… oh yeah,

so it turned out not to be a la gossip magazine because all those love triangles and who did who are not even that interesting. Did you know that things are only of interest to us because we make ourselves believe they are? Nothing has a meaning except for the meaning we give it.

So very easily we could simply stop thinking that this uninteresting thing is interesting and all the mystery together with unsolvable problems would be over. It’s easy. But the thing is that maybe people don’t want the complicated mystery to go.

They want to be trapped in unclear connections, they want lies, they want gossip, they want problems… everything must go! But where?! But who cares?! Stop asking questions… shit hit the fan that’s where, o rather how the gossip and lies work. They spread so quickly and with so little care that they ruin everything on the way. Don’t poison your soul. Dirty

thoughts produce dirty actions the truth for a change, you migh it. After all, even the darkness exist without light! We can’t one without the other. Well, should you care anyway? No m how much you try there is way much darkness in the world alre So just go with the flow and messing it up. Don’t do anything complaint about how bad the w is. If everyone is doing it, mus the right way to go about it. Rea Yes, really. Oh well, no, not reall course not really. It’s so east to you. You shouldn’t believe every you are told. They can say any they want, it’s a free world afte but you have to decide for you what is true and what isn’t so Yes, life is opaque – so unclear an complicated, and so confusing, unforeseeable. And it’s so difficu see the light at the end of the tu through all this mess. But don’t fo

s. Try ht like can’t have why matter y too eady. keep g and world st be ally?! ly. Of o get ything ything er all, urself true. nd so , and ult to unnel orget

that it’s not about the light at the end, it’s about the light within the tunnel!

It’s only dark because you want to see it dark, because you make yourself believe it’s dark. The way you are now is not the only way to be!

It’s all just the matter of attitude you acquire. It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be, and the time for this change is now. Because the time is always right to do what is right. Don’t hesitate – the more you think about it the more reasons and obstacles you’ll come up with for not doing it. There is always an excuse for not doing something, but it’s your choice whether you’ll use the excuse or do the job properly. And the choice that you make will constantly refine your life. Life is a chain of events – we always live the consequences of our own decisions. There is no them to blame for how our life turns out, because we are the ones living it. So don’t say it, be it!. You must be the

change you want to see in the world.

You are here now, hence the time to do it is now. We don’t waste time, as it is rather impossible to do, because time just is there for us regardless of whether we want it or not. What we waste is ourselves. So do yourself a favour and stop wasting your life.

Waste is out of fashion these days, the news informs us. And how do i know that? Because rumor has it! If only we all did our jobs as good as gossip does its… today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. So what are you going to do with it? We could just speak in quotes… and why not?

Does it matter who said it? What is a quotation anyways? Is the person who claims to have said it the only person in the world who has came up with this precise combination of these particular words? Where did they get the words from? Words are there for everyone to be used.

So how can we suddenly claim an

authorship on something that was never ours in the first place?! Nothing is original – everything is a thought, a copy of something else. We are paraphrasing as we go. We think it’s new but it’s not, we think it’s original but it’s not. Greeks did it all and said it all, after them it’s all just a copy/ paste reaction. Which isn’t a bad thing in itself, because evey time copy/ paste action is done differently as we all are different people with different views. Hence the result turns out to be different each time and we unconsciously call it new. But it’s not new! Lets call the things by their real names and that would illuminate a lot of confusion in the world. The law, the art, the literature, the philosophy, the great leaders of the world – all references back to ancient greece.

They did it all. We are doing the exact same thing only with different tools.

But the worst is that we are trying to fool ourselves that it’s all new.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “look!

This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
