curiosity alive by holding us from knowing why? Yes, it is. And what a
wonderful trait of life.

No matter how hard we try to anticipate, encapsulate, sort it out by
putting it up for debate, the future is sure to always stay ahead. It's
easy to see that the desire to know pours out from the mind's need
to control. The mind needs to have as clear of a view ahead as possi-
ble, so that it can project what it thinks it has to happen next. No
need to say that 9 times out of 10 it gets it fails. But oh, that one
time. It will cling to that until its dying breath. It will make anything in
its power, to make that one time worthy of a Medal of Honor.

To get passed all that, do nothing in fact. You are not the one respon-
sible for these habitual responses, nor are you the one responsible
with mending them. Stay as the ever-present awareness that you are,
because that is the best position by far. Resting in your true nature
will turn things from a problem to a genuine adventure. An adven-
ture in which nothing can truly hurt you.

So you see, there is no getting better at living life, or anticipating, or
having the best life plan. It's not about any of that because life isn't a
competition for who performs the best rendition. If anything, life is
about seeing yourself, seeing that you never needed no help, for you
are life itself.
