Intensity and Excess, Forever?
by Alexander Becker on February 18, 2008 | Link
Intensity vs. forever, that is.
I don't want to be with you forever -- do you know why? Well, first, forever is quite a long time, where some of us, at least temporarily, might get bored or boring, second, almost nothing is forever; and this comes from the guy who once invented forever...
What I do want is being with you right now, in person, in practice, as intense as it gets, forever is just theory and you nor I can't hold that kind of intensity for this long.
That is quality over quantity. Let's try to take quality over quantity as often as possible. The result is even more quality.
You can't endure and enjoy excess forever either.
Right now
The rest of time -- beyond now -- isn't supposed to be out of the mind at all. We are still responsible for our future and since we strive to have many more moments of intensity and excess to come, we'd do best to behave as sustaining and responsible as we possibly can.
Self-destruction is not the most elegant way to appreciate excess, intensity, and that moment.
Sure, it is not going to be the last moment but if it was, it would be great nonetheless. And since it is not the last moment, you just have to repeat it. Again.
And again.
What about that kind of forever?
A series of nows instead of a extended then.
A repetition of quality moments, as long as it lasts.
