The Gray Zone

I gave a name for my lifestyle, I call it the gray zone because I work full time to pay bills and don't have the capacity to do what I want to do. I want to have a man cave for leisure and a workshop to build things in and the time on my hands to be there. However I have enough food to eat and I have a home to live in. That is what the Gray zone is, it is getting by ok. It is being ok and that is it. 

I aim for the Happy Zone. The happy zone is where I do have the capacity to do what I want to do. You don't have to be rich to be in the Happy Zone although it is an effective tool. You just need to find a way to get there. There is also the Golden Zone, this zone is where you don't need to work at all. All of your time is liesure time and you have everything that you need. It is the opposite to the destitution zone, on this zone you live in poverty and don't have enough food to eat. 

So it is like this...
Destitution zone, poverty and hardship
Gray Zone, Being ok but always busy
Happy zone, Freedom for joy 
Golden Zone, Having it made. Everything you want. 

I imagined being in the happy zone and meeting a person that was always in the golden zone and is still unhappy. I would say "hi my brother man, why are you crying?" And he would say money doesn't buy you happyness. Then I would say maybe you are right. Then I would go back into my home skipping with joy because I have a workshop (room) to build things and the time to do it. Then the next day I would come out to the crying golden zone man and say "my brother-man, have a nice cup of coffee, I used ground beans and and syrup and wipe those tears of your Farrari and keep your chin up. Then he would say, "you can afford a better car than a Honda Accord, why don't you get a better car?", and I would say, "What is wrong with a Honda Accord?". I don't need a mega Yacht to be happy, I don't need a supercar, I don't need a gold plated bath tub to be happy. 

I need freedom to do the things that make me happy and that is it. My man cave to play in and my workshop to build things in. That is the Happy Zone. I am fighting to get me and my family into the happy zone, to escape from the gray zone.

Speck in the Cosmos

One of the scariest things I would do is look out into the sky in a car park at night time. I would become aware of how big space is, a huge...
