CLIMBING DOWN

#Hirayama, in #Perfect Days, is not a failed climber.

He is someone who saw the #ladder clearly and stopped obeying it.

That is a very different thing.

The world keeps whispering: more #status, more #usefulness, more #achievement, more #improvement, more #proof that the self is becoming something.

No one has to #whip us anymore. We do it internally and call it ambition.

Hirayama’s freedom is not that he cleans #toilets. That could easily be another prison.

His freedom is that he is not using his life to become impressive.

Water does not need to win.

The useless #tree does not need to justify its #existence.

And “I need do nothing” does not mean sitting around uselessly. It means I do not need to #manufacture a self.

The #body can #clean, #breathe, #walk, make #coffee, light #fires, put #shoes on, feed #dogs, and #love the ones nearby.

But there does not have to be a grand inner project of becoming #Worthy

Simple living is not automatically #holy.

Low status is not #awakening.

A small life can still be full of #grievance, vanity and comparison.

But a life without #comparison ?

That is #freedom.

Maybe the real act is not #climbingdown.

Maybe it is stopping the argument with where I am.
