All Things Happens Things Happen

More From Haruki Murakami

All men and women are born, live, suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... we do not choose to be born. we do not choose our parents. we do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. we do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. but within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.

This i choose to do. if there is a price, this i choose to pay. if it is my death, then i choose to die. where this takes me, there i choose to go. i choose. this i choose to do.

We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.

We do not choose to be born. we do not choose our parents, or the country of our birth. we do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. but within this realm of choicelessnness, we do choose how we live.

Now what kind of an attitude is that, 'these things happen?' they only happen because this whole country is just full of people who, when these things happen, they just say, 'these things happen,' and that's why they happen! we gotta have control of what happens to us.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice. if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. you can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill. i will choose a path thats clear. i will choose freewill.
