The Buddha said:

"Those who are following the way should behave like a piece of timber which is drifting along a steam. If the log is neither held by banks, nor seized by men, nor obstructed by the gods, nor kept in the whirlpool, nor itself goes to decay, I assure you that this log will finally reach the ocean".

Suddenly, I want to drop so many things.

The fight for better life is lost it's shine the more experience I gain. Experience speaks an unambiguous language.

I have no wish to be in a center of the things. It feels so empty here. Only the ego has a feast here. Have you observed that everything becomes the same at the centre of events. And only somewhere in an insignificant place does something really happen?

I have no desire to possess things. I have a constant urge to get rid of what I own and reduce the availability of items of clothing and jewellery. I don't want to acquire things anymore. For me, all these activities of the modern society can be explained very simply - since people do not have the opportunity to realise something big, we satisfying on something small - be it a cigarette, a shopping spree or a lot of sugar, for me it all the same.

It's hard to explain. But for some reason I began to really appreciate silence. In silence you can recognise reality more without embellishments. Do you know what makes a person hum or talk to himself when he is walking alone in dark streets or in the forest at night? Right, because he is afraid. So it seems to me that all this street noise and what we call self-expression has the same source, namely fear.

And yet I always get caught up in this whole thing with people showing off their egos. For example, when I'm cycling and someone unfriendly decides to overtake me or just breaks the rules. And the next minute I try to overtake him and sometimes I go through the red light headlong, obviously risking to get into an accident. It's so stupid. And I see it and I see my stupid ego and I see how I can't control it. But I keep looking and sometimes I just know that I'm not going to get along with the others. So why should I get in the race?

I believe that one day I will (my ego) surrender.
