This is not the text. The text starts later, because I only have 300 words. But before enlightening you with my philosophical genius, I wanted to give a huge thanks to 
And by reading what others wrote, I learned quite a lot. I still remember one post about something like skin color, and someone stating they'd like to be green in a hilarious post. I would've never thought about reading the question that way.
I didn't participate lately as my mind is quite occupied with earthly troubles, as those reading my blog are well aware of. But I still always check the posts to see if I can free some Brain-RAM capacity to come up with something, and for the 300st week, well, I kind of must. That said, here's the real text:
In a recent post about death, I wrote that my goal in life to be at peace with myself when I’m dying, knowing that I did right by myself and others. While there are many layers to life, the metaphysical is the one most interesting to me. I don’t see meaning in bodily functions, maybe because I was blessed with a well-functioning body. I see it in the progress we make with ourselves, how well we use our restricted time to align our spirit with our actions.
Which is quite the task, given that we’re thrown into a chaos, then raised by people that are not necessarily coherent and a society that is in most parts disrupted from their traditions and values, and hence adding an enormous amount of confusion to what seemed to be a straight line.
Like a big ball of pink yarn spilled all over the floor. That was a good exercise to appreciate life. And a decent metaphor. It’s all one thread, but we have to work hard and do many loops and untangle many knots on the way. I found both ends easily, they were easy to identify. I know where to start, and where it would end. But the middle? A reign of unfathomable chaos. It was very frustrating and made my back hurt. Just like life.
It’s not about becoming a saint or a buddha or a master. It’s about progressing. Not standing still, but actively working on becoming a better being. Even if it’s just one step. Not everybody has the same, very privileged starting point that I had. I can do big strives thanks to that. For others, one step is a superhuman effort. And that realization is something to consider on our path to decode the meaning of life.
So, I hope I didn't break the rules, as it wasn't specified if the text about the topic was to be 300 words, or the entire post. Doesn't really matter. One thing that I learned quickly - I'm not here for the upvotes. I'm here to think and write, and to look at every questions from many angles.
And that's why the Weekend Engagement challenge is still my favorite.
