Living

(Entry 65 - 01.10.2019 )

Bread - symbol of living

When men is stripped of everything

Bread alone still sustain life

Necessity and essential

Of cause, metaphorically speaking

I’m in no position to speak for all cultures

Point is, very little needed to sustain life

But what about the soul?

I can survive on bread alone & be happy

However, bread consumption takes little time

Even if 3 meals a day, plus tea brakes

Then what happens after the stomach fed

Hypothetically, human population can thrive on bread alone

But apparently, it’s far from the truth

Many people talk about suffering & hardship

Seems keeping the mouths fed doesn’t solve all problems

We have minds , and we have souls

They need to be attended as well

Attending those needs can complicate things tramendously

And that complication could lead to human extinction

Many Hollywood movies have convincingly portrait that

By far, no satisfactory solution has been found

among all living things, we pride ourselves for our intelligence

But we seem to be the only one capable of self-destruction

As for me, my life simple enough like bread

I’v done my best to minimise complications

But it takes every ounce of my energy to be a minimalist

Because we are living in a consumption driven society

This consumer culture trains every living brain

Into forever wanting more of everything

And there is no end

Perhaps until the dooms day
