We live in a world built on promises, constructed by Storytellers. One must be a fox to recognize traps, and one must be a lion to frighten wolves. But until the lion learns to read and write, every story will glorify the hunter. The wolf on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill. The bird who has eaten cannot fly with the bird that is hungry. This is just the nature of things. And a trap is only a trap if we do not know about it. Nature does not tell stories, people tell stories. We find ourselves in stories, we make ourselves in stories, we choose ourselves in stories. And since we become the stories we tell ourselves, we better choose our stories well. On life's vast ocean diversely, we sail. I fake a smile; you fake a life. We are all imprisoned in the realm of life, like a sailor on his tiny boat, on an infinite ocean. Land was created to provide a place for boats to visit. A boat is always safe at the shore, but that is not what it is built for. When a man comes to like a sea life, he can no longer live on land. Give a man a fish and he will have food for a day. Teach him to catch fish and he will spend all day at the lake drinking beer. The human body is 80% water, so we are basically cucumbers with anxiety. Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can almost hear the fish laughing at you. The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many of us. Anyway, we all want to be like a Caterpillar: eat a lot; sleep for a while; then wake up beautiful. Today is the Tomorrow you talked about Yesterday. You want to go to Bora Bora, but you are poora poora? Your wallet is like an onion, opening it makes you cry? Anyway, do not worry about the world coming to an end today - it is already tomorrow in Australia Yesterday you wanted a burrito.
