The secret to Immortality

Posted by Oh-Sama - June 16th, 2020


Success isn’t everything

At least it wasn’t meant for me

It never was that way

Embrace failure

What I learned from failure

Is that when it’s a reasonable time for you to die

It is absolutely certain that you will fail doing that one damn thing the right way

But let me ask you something

Are you sure you know what the hell I am talking about?

The day you think you’re the luckiest or the most perfect

It may be game over for you

But that counts as failure too

So it won’t be bad

At least I think it won’t :D

You’ll always be in safe hands

Thank you for all your blessings you whom I still cannot see :D

That just messed up my whole vision on life

So that makes me the Mess-iah too, good to know that as well XDDDDDDDDD

Do something so amazing that you will be spoken off many hundreds of years later. There's your immortality.

I agree. I'm still trying... I never said I would give up anything. Still looking for a way to get the Fuka's fruit: Bezu Bezu no mi will soon be mine!

As usual I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, but it feels like there's some kind of great revelation just hiding behind those lines...

Indeed life's all about equinoxes, beginnings and ends, cycles, good and bad, the balance of all. When you hit rock bottom it'll get better, and when you're at the top you'll probably fall down, but as long as you just keep on going you can keep reaching these moments of happiness along the way. Maybe climbing the mountains quicker, lingering on each peak longer when you're there, and learning to fall without hurting yourself all as much.

Hi my dear Akuma-san. Failure comes fast to those who dare to try :D

BTW I think that what we call failure is just the perception of the unexpected outcomes that one gets at the end of any experience. So what makes failure failure and not success is just our expectations. If we hold none we wouldn't assume it's failure at all!

But isn't it only when you don't try that you actually fail? ;) As long as you keep trying...

And very true. Only with expectations is it possible not to reach them. But of course we need expectations... without expectations why would we ever try to reach, either? Seems like hapiness might lie in the thin line between being happy with what you have and wanting something better. Not too much, not too little, just right.
