Simply unsimple.

It seems remarkable. This world we live in. All the things we go through. Why? What is the point? Does there need to be a point? Perhaps we create a point as society so that we can all enjoy life. What is our purpose here on Earth? Does God create the rules, or do we? Who is in control? Does it matter?

I have to draw that stupid room with furniture for drawing class. I have to start that common application. I have to rest and heal from the wisdom teeth removal. I have to organize that auction meeting. I have to hang out with my friends. I have to clean my room. I have to do community service. I still have to get a job or find money somehow. I have to read my English reading for the summer. I have to get off the computer. I have to be human and yet I have to be superhuman.

I won't accomplish everything. Now to some people this is resignation. And that is true. I am resigning myself to failure. But only some failure. I will accomplish some things. But it's okay that I fail at some things. As long as I treat failure as valuable rather than just painful, I can be satisfied with my life.

What we do with our lives, where we go to college, what we do at temple when we pray, has nothing to do with the fact that you go there or you do it. Being present is part of the process, but giving value to action makes your presence powerful.
