“Whatever you've done in life, it will be insignificant, but it is very important that you did.” Gandhi
I was thinking that no one really cares what you do with your life. Our daily flurry doesn't change the order of things.

Lately, I've been using phrases like:” it's all a dream, wake up”,” it's possible, everything is Possible”,”something happens that can happen, but it will never happen, it can always happen”. The author of all these phrases is the creator of theomism (philosophy of ontological minimalism) Theo Om. Perhaps the wisest of all the wisest.
“Come on, rag, you can do it,” my friend tells me. Whenever I'm about to give up, I keep replaying these words in my head.
