I am a simple person who was so naive that life is this complicated and intricate. I was once blinded by the superficial world, thinking that it was paradise, when in fact it was just a fragile dream (or nightmare) that will never be realized. I also succumbed once to the material world and lived a hedonistic life style and there I realized that materialism just makes it more complicated; spinning you around, 'til you get dizzy, confused, and lost. Yes, I was once lost, became a rebel that fought for nothing but for my own desires. I also became a hypocrite, blaming others as if I am saintly. Yes, I was rewarded with pleasure,ecstasy, but in the end I realized that I never found the one great thing that I am searching for; happiness.
Now that I have been awaken from that long, tempting dream I have realized one thing; happiness is not found in a hay stack. It will never be achieved by having everything you want,instead it is about contentment.
If you'll ask me if I have regrets with my past, my answer is NO! Though it was a mistake, I have learned a lot from it. From those experiences it broadened my perspective about life, about people, about being human.
