The very pure pleasure of living.

I wonder. If some people refuse to think. Because they really don’t want to be. For fear. That they may not like themselves. Their instinct is to abhor life.  Therefore, they shut down. Suppress the very thought of being alive. And conscious. Because then they would have to figure things out. Give meaning. Maybe that seems like a formidable task. So overwhelming.  Wishing. Wishing that they had never been born. As for me. I can’t get enough of life. I want more and more. To feel the very pure pleasure. Of living. Consciously. Forever. –Jim Broede
