My biggest mistake so far has been the lack of questions to consider why I was thoughtlessly following, instead of ruthlessly leading my own life. Not understanding my self enough to know what I wanted was the next biggest issue, a problem left ignored because of the safety of the script I thought I should follow. Clearly that was wrong.
Since then, I see awareness itself is the meaning of life, because without it, we know nothing. But, with enough time and understanding, we will realize the emptiness of our life is equivalent to its goodness, and because of that, anything is possible.
