A life less lived.

Aye, a spurious life. Non experimental. Status quo. Acceptable. Look at it with disdain, spur onwards to a life of possibilities, of taking chances, of seizing moments. Victory will be yours. But you must be ready for certain failure, heartaches, loneliness, and ridicule. And this day, choose you must. Laugh in the face of life's uncertainties and live on for it is a short life, this.

The pot of gold may be anything but. However, character, a colourful life, liberation and an unshakeable sense of having lived is yours to keep and no one can ever take that away from you. And this is why we should always be ready to toss a wrench into the gear works of life.

For the opposite is costly–a life commonly lived. Dull. Homogenious. Sterile. With enough regrets, you may end up walking about as a living dead. And what a waste that would be. So I urge you, friends, to live it well and by your own terms and if need be, within reason.

Two rules I will leave you with. The approach, by the balls. The thrust, to tear it a new one. Go forth.
