Try to avoid anything, and necessarily fall into the same pit

Imagine that you are learning to ride a bike. You are driving on a quiet road where there is no traffic, early in the morning and see the red mile stone standing on the road. The road width of twenty meters, and the stone is very small, but you're scared: you can get close to this stone and crash into him.

You completely forget about twenty meters of the road. In fact, even if you're blindfolded, your chances to encounter a mile stone, crash into a mile stone would be smaller, but your eyes are open, and the whole road is forgotten; you're focused.

 





First of all, the red color is very focuses. And you're so afraid! — you want to avoid it. You forgot that you're on a Bicycle, you forget about everything. Now you have only one problem: how to avoid this stone; otherwise you can harm yourself; you can crash.

Now a collision is absolutely unavoidable; you're sure to bump into the stone. And then you wonder: "I struggled trying to avoid it". In fact, because of the fact that you tried so hard you crashed. The closer you approach it, the more I try to avoid it; but the harder it becomes to avoid it, the more you focused on it. It becomes a hypnotic force, it hypnotizes you. It becomes like a magnet.

 



When you make peace with the idea that everyone lives just for itself.

Courage or cowardice is only a habit...





This is the most fundamental law of life. Many people try to avoid many things and fall into these same things. Try to avoid anything, put great efforts and you will definitely fall in the same pit. You can't avoid it; that's no way to avoid it.published
