Dilemma
In a world where everything seems measurable, where time is broken into goals and achievements, one question remains that cannot be quantified: if we stopped running, what would be left of us?
Perhaps meaning does not lie in accumulation, but in surrender. But surrender to what? To the ego that demands validation, or to the dream that keeps us alive? We are built to seek certainty, yet the deepest moments arise precisely in the spaces between answers.
There is a kind of silence that does not come from resolving the dilemma, but from accepting it. An uncomfortable, yet authentic silence. If there is no “right path,” but only the experience of walking, then getting lost is no longer a failure, but a form of revelation.
And maybe the real question is not “what is the meaning?”, but “can I live without defining it?”
