{flickr favorites} quote

Tuesday, 6 July 2010

Às vezes parece-me que todas as obrigações do dia-a-dia são tão inúteis que deveria viver duas vidas paralelas: a que vive segundo as regras, acorda de manhã para ir para o trabalho e passa o dia em contagem decrescente até à hora de regressar a casa e a semana em contagem decrescente até ao fim-de-semana... e a outra: a que vive a vida ao máximo, aproveitando cada momento para explorar, criar, crescer e viver - mas na verdadeira acepção da palavra.

Porque enquanto nos obrigamos a (sobre)viver realizando as tarefas sucessivas a que nos propomos para atingir os objectivos que nos impõem, a vida está a passar-nos ao lado... enquanto sonhamos, os nossos desejos já se concretizaram algures numa vida paralela que nunca iremos chegar a viver.

Pensem nisto, deixem de fazer planos e vivam.

Sometimes it seems to me that all our daily obligations are so useless that I should live two parallel lives: one of me that lives by the rules, get up in the morning to go to work and spends her days counting down the days left until the weekend... and another one: living life to the fullest, enjoying every moment to explore, create, grow and live - but in the true sense of the word.

Because while we are forced to survive by performing successive tasks we set ourselves to achieve the objectives that the society impose on us, life is passing us by... while we're dreaming, our desires have been accomplished somewhere in a parallel life that we will never come to live.

Think about it, cease to make plans and live.

  4. Todos os dias me debato com essa perspectiva, e sempre chego à conclusão que a nossa sociedade nos impõe valores errados! Quando não é possível passar para o outro lado totalmente, há que tentar fundir ao máximo as duas realidades... pelo menos tem sido a minha táctica para (sobre)viver o melhor possível ;)

  9. Jip, love this quote too! If things become a drag, it's time to re-evaluate and see what you can change. There is no reason to keep going on if it's not making you happy. I try to live as every day is my last one and it feels great! Try it, it works! ;)
