The life carousel

Sometimes, I think life is one big carousel. We go in circles and never really get anywhere. What is the point in anything anyway? I've never been a subscriber of pessimist views, but I've been reading the views of Nietzche and sadly he has a point (or rather lack of) He claims that life is meaningless and that God is dead. We are doomed to repeat a cycle over and over again and that humans cannot really progress from their current state. The way things are, are just the way it is supposed to be. A status quo.


There could be nothing worse than living in status quo to me. The very idea that any current misery that may be plaguing me will never end; it's nothing short of hell.


I've always believed that I may not be in control of the situation I am in, but I can control how I feel about it. That casts everything into a different light. So as I ride this endless merry-go-round that spins and turns with highs and lows, I'm determined to enjoy the ride.
