Eternal Vigilance
by HeadCase on Sep.04, 2009, under Philosophical, Relationship
The price of freedom, is eternal vigilance and vice versa. The will to power, the uphill battle to thrive in this life seem to diminish when we are satiated, when we feel satisfied. It is the feeling of achievement when you get what you want, and the bliss that overcomes you when you are with the one you love. But this bliss comes with a price, and that price is your drive. Your drive becomes compromised because all you want to do everyday, is to get thru the day and spend the rest of those meaningful hours with someone… who is meaningful to you. Success, self improvement, personal dreams, and the such, become secondary, and we find ourselves in a prison of bliss with no will left to make changes in our lives. That is what happens when we make the happiness of someone else take precedence over our own, that is what happens when we become docile… numb from this valium in the form of love or maybe even lust.
So whats the solution to this double edged sword? It boils down to freedom vs love. Well, in my opinion, I think its best to not settle for love until your life is where you want it to be already. Otherwise, your life will be a limbo supported by the clouds of emotions and you will find no will in the thrill of making a better life for yourself… it simply becomes your responsibility. yuck!
