How to live your damn life

1. Life is suffering.

2. Even if you are happy right now, 1 is still true.

3. Your happiness is short-lived.

4. You see, the only reason why Life gave you happiness is to take that away from you. THAT is suffering.

5. Therefore, try your best not to be happy.

6. Wear dark clothes.

7. Don't smile.

8. If you have to smile, smile brightly.

9. Absolutely no laughing.

10. Sleep little but tight.

11. Be difficult to yourself, easy on others.

12. Choose a profession that you enjoy doing.

13. Spend 10,000 hours doing that work, again and again and again.

14. Become one of the best in your fields.

15. You are still far from being the best, don't get excited about that.

16. Make just enough money to live comfortably.

17. Use public transportation.

18. Choose a girl that you are comfortable with. You don't have to love her.

19. Marry her.

20. Respect her and trust her. Trust her completely.

21. Do her a favor everyday.

22. You see, that is love. Not the lightning-struck thing, love means mutual respect and trust.

23. Have children. Not child, children.

24. Love them, but don't spoil them.

36. Don't stop thinking.

37. Stop believing. Seriously. Beliefs lead you nowhere.

38. It may lead you to your downfall though.

39. Anyway. Don't hold a rigid set of belief, everything changes, even truth.

40. There is no absolute truth by the way.

41. This guideline is an exception from 39 and 40.

42. Well, time to age.

43. Age gracefully. Embrace it. APPRECIATE IT.

44. Keep your mind young though.

45. You may smile now.

46. But still NO LAUGHING.

47. Retire.

48. Keep yourself busy. Write some novel, compose some music, climb some mountain.

49. With your beloved other half, of course.

50. Love your grandchildren, but DON'T SPOIL THEM DAMN IT.

51. Honestly, Life may have taken you away at any point before this.

52. But since Life is suffering, there should be no regret at all.

53. Now time to think about your inevitable end.

54. Realize that your life was not suffering at all. It was full of happiness and sweet memories.

55. Surprise!

56. Well don't. Honestly, you should have known it by now.

57. Wait, so 1 was false?

58. Hmm no. Only by keeping 1 in mind did you manage to avoid sufferings.

59. Now for the first time in your life, you truly do not bear any burden at all. Close your eyes while holding hands with your beloved. So long, my friend.
