Feeling depressed I consulted my guru and he says
‘No matter what I do or where I go, I shall look for
things I like best’ – but looking at the routine work
on my desk makes me angry - only work without
interest - this is not what I want to see at all!
I want to see obstacles and challenges - just like
Sherlock Holmes who openly confessed he could
not stand a hum-drum existence, he only really felt
alive when deciphering clues or hot on the heels
of a criminal or two – the rest of the time he left
The world to itself and smoked his pipe, waiting
for the next big thing - it sounds impractical, but
what the heck - being human is very impractical,
everything we like is detrimental and guilty
pleasures like chocolate make our teeth rot –
What does true freedom look like? – I bet few
people know, only those who spent years locked
up in dungeons and made rats into pets – because
they have no craving for fattening chocolate and
have forgotten what temptation looks like…
