6/9/24 Through the Looking Glass

 If the first 25 years were the first S-Curve, we need nothing except our minds and bodies for the next 17 years of the S-Curve.

That's because the future is us without the extra baggage.  Imagine, my biggest challenge in life is smoking.  That makes my second biggest challenge [a]s (is) the Bukit Kiara Run.

Now consider that I never smoked at all.  Then that particular challenge doesn't even exist.  That means, Bukit Kiara is just a walk in the park.

Therefore there is no need for me to carry the burden of smoking to the future.  I just carry my body, because the future belongs to a sound mind and a sound body, and nothing else.


 One box of cigarettes is equivalent to one meal a day.  The economics of it is no longer sensible.  So is the health aspect of it.

In the end, the cigarette is nothing more than a need for a dopamine surge and a habit that won't die down.

It is none other than a legacy of a habit that is no longer sensible and meaningful.  It is an action out of rote than anything else.

Quitting cigarettes is not a battle, it is not even a fight.  It is merely the ability to say no for 5 minutes per impulse.
