“In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.”― Edith Wharton

To be honest there's only a very few situations where knowing in advance would benefit us very much. Nearly all growth and learning happens right after something we didn't expect happens to us. Thus does our unconscious psyche unfold itself in the accidents and miracles that poke thru the bubble of our hyper-organized world.

“Aren't you afraid of dying?
Not really. I've watched lots of good-for-nothing, worthless people die, and if people like that can do it, then I should be able to handle it.”
― Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

[Magical Realist]

You can eschew worldviews and belief systems and still live deeply and soulfully. No gods or ministering angels required. Just dwell lucidly in the poetic enchantment of whatever arises, both around you and within you. There's a hidden artistry in everything that happens if we just take the time to notice it.

"If a man’s imagination were not so weak, so easily tired, if his capacity for wonder not so limited, he would abandon forever such fantasies of the supernal. He would learn to perceive in water, leaves and silence more than sufficient of the absolute and marvelous, more than enough to console him for the loss of the ancient dreams."— Edward Abbey

"What a strange machine man is. You fill him with bread, wine, fish, and radishes, and out come sighs, laughter, and dreams." — Nikos Kazantzakis

"Let me live in a house
by the side of the road,
Where the race of men go by-
The men who are good and the men who are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner’s seat,
Or hurl the cynic’s ban;-
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man."---Sam Walter Foss
