What is life? Is it change? Is there something unchanging in all of it? What's the "you" that's underneath all the drama and clutter of life? Is it your emotions? Brain chemistry? Your certainty? Your power to reason things through? Well, there is a "something" underneath it all. Maybe it's the mathematical product of your every experience contrasting with your current experience. Maybe it's a swirling "something" that is formless, memoryless, bodyless, timeless? Maybe it's real. Maybe it's an illusion. Maybe it's a bit of all of these things. But there's one thing I can say for certain: your attitude towards yourself and towards the life you find yourself thrust in determines your happiness. You take yourself wherever you go. Do you love the person you are taking with you, or at least tolerate that person? Do you see yourself responding a certain way to life and a voice inside goes, "No, No, what are you DOING?!?" yet you behave that way anyhow? Who is that voice? Some say God. Some say conscience. I personally consider it the "kid Ken" who has been judging my every move and calling out the actions of its older tenant. I don't always listen. I'm usually glad when I do. Although... sometimes, he's just a stupid kid.
