The thing about being in a rat race is no matter how fast or good or successful you are in the race ... you are still a rat. A nameless, faceless soul in the society where everyone goes about their own business. Nobody knows you. Nobody really cares even. We go about everyday. Rushing and getting stressed out. All for that monthly salary for survival. We use our hands, we use our brains. But how many of us really use our hearts?

The heart is a muscle. And the fewer times we practise using it emotionally, the weaker it gets. Isn't this the case for all of us modern people? We stopped using our hearts in our daily routine life. We stopped learning to care. We lose our yin in our lives.

Life is a balance between yang and yin. Where is the point of balance? I need to find my balance, between making money for survival and being happy.

Life begins when there is peace and when there are balancing forces of yang and yin.

My life hasn't began yet. I pray that it will begin beginning my 24th year of existence.
