run
We are on the run.The infinite chase of wants. The more we do, our goal post increases. Also, as we age, we realize all we did was endlessly run instead of living.

FOMO

We are all fighting for our own.How can one have any expectations from others?Or if we keep any expectations, will it not lead to suffering? I know we are no saints of the past, believing …
detach
