i was watching bagger vance a couple of weeks ago, trying to get into the spirit of golf (that movie always does it for me) and there is a line in the film that i cannot get out of my head.
bagger says, "what i'm talking about is a game that can't be won, only played". the reason that it has been popping into my mind is because of the relevance that quote has to our everyday lives. it's kind of like saying, life isn't full of good or bad choices, it's just lived. i mean isn't what's good and bad relative? what may be good for you could be bad for someone else and visa versa.
so what i'm saying is, i need to stop worrying so much about what's good and bad. i mean isn't life a journey? life can only be lived. life. it is not good or bad. it is just life. good and bad. life. so live it. and be the best you along the way and do it passionately.

a purely postmodern post.
and although morality may be relative to some, does it not seem more fulfilling to be guided by...something? one thing? anything? how can you be the best you if what is best for you isn't what someone else thinks is best. is it really then 'the best'? is there a Best version of you? certainly our opinions and feelings on the best version of us really are not the Best. and regarding passion: how can one passionately live if the goal of living is just to live? what does "LIVING" look like? and moreover, what does it look like when its done passionately?
just some questions...and not one ounce of dis-R-E-S-P-E-C-T
