Description
Getting higher makes sense if it takes you somewhere.
We tend to live or lives like a race, as though there is a final destination that will make everything alright when we get there. It is so common to lose perspective and fail to realize that life is no more than the succession of days we live through. No day is more important than other and sacrificing the present in favor of an hypothetical future is a waste of out life. We cannot live as there is no tomorrow, but we cannot live as if today does not matter either.
Everything we do should be for a good reason. Getting higher in life, earning more, gaining responsibility, having a bigger hose, a better car... these things can add to a happy life, but will not make a miserable life any better. They will only hide the facts and help us deceive ourselves. We should strive to make ourselves and the ones around us lead happier lives, not to have more. Maybe earning a little less but spending more time with our children and loved ones would make them happier than buying them more unnecessary things at the cost of not being at home.
Some people rush mindlessly through their lives until they die. Some are fortunate enough to live through a close shave and realize we have just this one life and there is no time to waste in the superficial.
Remember, not only do the best things in life come for free, but also they cannot be bought. Do not try to buy yourself a better life. It will not work. Live.
