No pain

"A soul friend is someone who brings out the best in you, someone who gives energy to your soul so it can continue growing. Not all the things have a limited growth."
- Some character in "Six feet under"

The term "soul friend" doesn’t please me too much because I hate when it’s necessary to add adjectives or comparatives to the word "friend". This proves how much worn out is this word because of our underestimation of it.

But it’s the meaning of this phrase which really matters to me today.

Today. One more day in which I find myself thinking and realizing how lost I am. And how much mistaken are all my absurd theories. Today I only want to remind that, as one of my soul friend says, “It’s not the end what matters. It’s the path”.

Fernando Sanchez Dragó (Spaniard journalist and writer), who has so many hateful things, also has very good opinions sometimes. Once I heard him explaining one of his theories about life after death. He said, more or less: "Not all of us will live beyond death. You only live after dead if you have built you a soul. And a soul is constructed solely by trying to grow up, to get greater, stronger, stretcher than you were when you arrived at this world."

I suppose that the path’s pain is inevitable and more than necessary. And I suppose this is a part of its bittersweet charming.

No pain, no gain.

No mercy. No remorse.
