What is this life that we experience?

From the consent of this reality, we begin to live under pressure to discover the meaning of our lives...

So many plans to choose the ideal profession and build a recognized career that we don't even realize the opportunity we have to live. We grew up involved in the ideology that we need to seek success and, with that, position ourselves in society. From the consent of this reality, we begin to live under pressure to discover the meaning of our lives.

Therefore, simplicity tends to distance itself from the commitments we assume. The emptiness of this busy life makes us miss the best parts and all because we believe that our mission is to accomplish something to get recognition. We are so hedonistic to the point of talking about ourselves without listening to the voice that comes from the other side.

We don't realize that we are born with survival resources and, moreover, we want more than we already have. We think that the details of life are insufficient for what we want to have. Questions about "who we are" and "what we need to accomplish" will always be conflicting scenes in our minds. But, is it necessary to do it? Can we not know who we are?

Such conflicts exist from unreflected experiences. What's the meaning of life anyway? It does not present itself, it just exists. Living it does not mean enriching it, nor understanding it. All we need is to experience it for this life to be simply lived.
