From The Eros Prison (coming soon!): Contentment is when one is completely comfortable to know nothing, do nothing, and to be known for absolutely nothing. It’s what I call the death that counts. It’s when we finally have that long awaited funeral for everything that once defined us (or presently defines us) and made us feel important, useful, or worthy of existence or being loved. It’s an intentional suicide of the soul-self that wore out its welcome for the last time. Suicides, homicides, pesticides, and genocides, all have one thing in common—they’re all associated with killing and death. The common thread in all these terms is what I call the “cide” effect. This is why decision-making is really about deciding (de- cide-ing) or killing off the objects and stuffs in our lives that are harmful, hateful, hideous, and hindering. Decisions are meant to do away with the harmful belongings while harnessing the health. The death that counts is a decision. It’s when we de-cide (undoing what causes potentially deadly outcomes) to stop the madness that accompanies competitive living, trumping, and both public and private performance initiatives aimed at others, ourselves and our perception of god. It’s a surrendering to the world at large and a “giving up” on having to prove we matter.
