Illumination

In my opinion, there are three different attitudes concerning the aspiration for enlightenment:
There are those who strive towards epiphany, trying to achieve this ultimate goal by any means possible. You can call them ambitious. There are those who'll never hear of the meaning of satori, the ones that honestly enough have more problems surviving today than seeking for answers in the past or future. And then there are those waiting, meditating, taking a deep breath instead of a hasty one. The warmth pouring through the outer barriers of your body. Feeling what is inside you, listening to the rythm of the silence...for one last time. Not seeing the light on the other side but tasting the cold grey sweat of what has been a wonderful life.
Awareness leeds you to a choice, but what if you want to be a slave of your own irresponsability?
