#status

Yesterday's adaptations are today's routines. ↗

#status-quo #change

I am already living, but something is telling me with unchallengeable authority: you are not living properly. The numinous authority of form enjoys the prerogative of being able to tell me 'You must'. It is the authority of a different life in this life. This authority touches on a subtle insufficiency within me that is older and freer than sin; it is my innermost not-yet. In my most conscious moment, I am affected by the absolute objection to my status quo: my change is the one thing that is necessary. If you do indeed subsequently change your life, what you are doing is no different from what you desire with your whole will as soon as you feel how a vertical tension that is valid for you unhinges your life. ↗

Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone. ↗

Sometimes people think you’re smart if you question the status quo, if nothing else. ↗

Single is not a status, it is a word that describes a person who is strong enough to live and enjoy life without depending on others. ↗
