Have you woken up?

"We wake up. No, that's not right.
We live? No, that's not right either.
We are given birth. Yeap, that's it!

We are given birth. We need help to even start living. We need help to take our first breath.
And then, we need help to start walking. Start talking. We are children, young-lings, little boys and girls, incapable of doing their own thinking.
Selecting their own religion.
Choose their way of thinking.
Making decisions, that will change our lives, or even, the lives of others!

Or are we?
You see, the one true fact about life, is not that it's a circle.
It's not a bitch.
No, it's not money, love, adrenaline rush.
It's not cool mojitos in a beach in Bora-Bora either!
It's a school. The only school we all get to join, and the only one we all get to check out from.
Everyone you meet is a tutor, and like it or not, they all get to teach you something. How to talk, how to walk, how to breath, how to drive, how to fight, how to love, how to read, write, run, play, act, pilot, fix, break, survive...

Survive. Survival of the fittest some say. Well, who is the judge of that? I mean, you see brilliant people that die. I'm guessing their not fit. Or leaders! Not fit either, huh? Well, i'm guessing the strong in body, right? Nope, still wrong.

You see, none of the above is "the fittest". You don't survive by being any of the above, alone. You get to survive when you learn to play the game. When you take a look behind the glass, under the hood. When you see how it all works, how the game mechanics are running.
That is when you survive. It's not God, or any other deity or power, that whispers in your ear. It's you.
Name it subconscious, soul, instinct, whatever you like.
It. Is. You.

And this is why you need to take care of your self, first and foremost. Trust you, listen to you. Even when you are wrong, get to learn from those mistakes. It's not madness when you're "talking to your self". It's madness when you don't listen back. So you need to move on and don't break. Cause if you break your self, then you break your God, soul, etc.
This is when you have lost, and you are no longer fit.

So, the questions remains.
