All of these above are so essential to a good life. They are existentiella because if we go through life with these words as only words..we cant say that we really have had a good life and thereby we are being deprived of life and what life can do to us and with us.
Sad to say very few in this world today are even near or close to fulfill these words. In my eyes today the world is a miserable place to live – war, oppression from government, famine, poverty and much more. John Lennons song Imagine is summing up what it should be but cant be. That is why the song is called Imagine. John Lennon is one of my favourite musicians because he could say it like it is in his songs.
Anyway something about my own relationship to these words. I must say that I am super priviledged to say ”Yes I can do this..plan, dream, anticipate, hope..etc” And I can make many things come to pass in my life. Many people think it belongs to the billionaires, millionaires to do these things. I am not a millionaire, not even close, but I know that within my means(money) I have, it is possible. My life is a living proof that it is possible. My last choice, decision to move to Tenerife is one of many of my choices in life. Some of these choices and descions are kind of complicated because they just dont happen.
My priviledge is that when I am in a situation that I find most uncomfortable and dont feel good…I say to myself;”Get out, change, do something else”. And here is where my priviledge comes in
I CAN DO IT! I know it is a priviledge because of many factors…health, free country/democracy, fairly sane, some money to make it come through. I actually have a pension now that I can so to say BUDGET my financial life. If in the world today there are 10billion people, I dare to say that maybe 1% of these people are able to do what I did without fear of consequenses. Even people in countries like China, Russia, North Korea, Myanmar, Syria, Afghanistan, SaudiArabia, Belarus….and many more are not as free as I am to make choices, planning even if they are wealthy and influential..They are always watched by oppresive government that in a blink of an eye can take it away.
and as always more to say…always…
