You Do Not Exist. o_O

Buddhism:
"Why are you unhappy?
Because 99.9 per cent
Of everything you think
and of everything you do
is for yourself-
-and there isn't one."

You as you are is one person. But you will never exist as you are in this moment ever again. Even if you have the most boring day of your life, that boredom will have changed you even the slightest- but it's still a change.

Puts things into perspective. Decisions made for you at this moment won't last, because a single change can revolutionize yourself entirely. Decision should be made for something greater, such as morals you believe in, people you love, or goals you hope for. And even then, things can change. Life is a moving river, according to Buddhism, and just as soon as you know what's going on, everything changes. But there is some hope, cause just like a river there is always the water that flows along with you, moving slightly ahead, then slightly behind. Things do change with you, as do people.

i think the catch is learning how to make decisions for your whole self, and for your life. Not just for yourself in the moment.
