I’ve been walking a lot.


The man has to choose a way to walk for a long time. Whether he chooses, he needs to devote for a long time. Some guys learn easy ways to make money. To deceive governments, people who believe them, to avoid paying taxes, sell garbage shit.


There are so many easy ways to earn money if someone drops their conscience. Some wise guy once said, “If there were no God, we don’t have to follow any rules in this world.” Yeah. Definitely truth. Without eternal punishment, how do we live righteously? That’s impossible.


So many of us wonder about being villains. I have wondered many times. Thanos, Ultron and Joker. Weird. All of the Villians have beliefs and put effort into achieving their dreams. Incredible! Most people never do that for good reason. But bad guys work out every day to destroy the earth. OMG.


A step is proof. We can see someone on the mountain. Then we realized he went up steadily. Especially since there was no cable to evacuate him. Steps and height are proof that prove their past, effort, and hope.


Without hope of seeing a mountaintop view, no one was willing to go up the mountain path. No one will study hard. No one will work hard. The belief in bright days makes us move to another mountain, and that leads us to another step of life.


Just take a step. That’s okay. No problem. Everyone starts ‘Day One’ with the very first step. Whether you want it or not, you and I have already chosen to go somewhere. We have already taken the step. Even now.


I’ve been stupid, Brad Mehldau
