Life is incredibly complicated. If you are alive on Hive you are probably aware of this.
What drives you? How did you get here? How did I get here? What is Hive? What are you? What am I? What drives me?
When life is done correctly, these questions should always have changing answers. Life is not binary, life is much more complicated than a simple yes or no.
When life is done incorrectly, the answers to the questions above are simple and often redundant. Am I profitable? Am I winning? Am I better off than my neighbor? Am I rich? Am I poor? Did I defeat my enemies?
Life is much more complicated than a simple yes or no. If you are consistently looking for binary answers to your life, than you will consistently squander opportunities that are too complicated to fit into a simple yes or no equation.

What in life is worth dying for? To be honest, I'm not really sure. Maybe nothing is truly worth dying for? If you die how can you change the world? But can you even change the world? Can you control your own destiny? You only know what you know and I am no different. I do know that the things that I think are important are always changing and their degree of importance to me is always in flux. That being said, I am just a dude and I what I think is important might not be important. I must control the ego; I must be responsible for MY mistakes. I hand over control of my life to the powers that be in a sense, but handing over control is not a deflection of responsibility.
What in life is worth living for? There are a lot of things that make life more enjoyable but they aren't "everything." It's not just the wealth I like to collect. It's not just the family that I love to love. It's not just the friendships I try to foster and cherish.
I want to be a good person. I want to do the right thing. I want the world a better place. These are the things that drive me. These are the things that give my life meaning and they are worth living for.
Until next time,
❤️ Hurt
