#40 Happy Occident: Reasons to Stay Alive

We all carry darkness, no matter how much we would like to avoid admitting it. We need to admit to ourselves that we are not so virtuous, moral and good human beings as we would like to think. But if we can’t get rid of our negativity, then we could channel it into art. Wherever we are, at any moment, try and find something beautiful. A face, a line out of a poem, light through your window, film monologues, a lighthouse, first snow, autumn breeze. What a paradox. The things we don’t need to live—books, art, love, cinema, travel, small moments and so on— are the things we need to live. They were, in and of themselves, reasons to stay alive.
