Fade out or keep going? What are we chasing after in this competitive and sometimes cruel world? Money? Power? Fame? When you reach it, you get attacked by others and punished more severely. Is it worth it? I think most of us want to be happy and at peace. There’s something beautiful in fading out from the craziness of society to be with your own soul in a peaceful and quiet life. Maybe live a simple life near the ocean or up in the mountains. It sounds so nice to meditate, read, research, write, create art, produce content that helps others, build a service for others using technology, and only hang out with those who lift your spirit. I’m not saying to completely cut ourselves off from the world. We could still continue our hustle to create value for others from afar, only coming back to society for our loved ones and for our most passionate projects. Do you feel this sometimes? If this was possible would you try it?
This is a picture of the sunset in Waikele, Hawaii on 2/19/19.

How many more sunsets do we have left?
If we could count them, we would change the way we see today, and truly understand how lucky we are to be in every moment.
I would wake up with a smile and love you even more, attack my passionate goals, and always make an effort to experience new things.
Of all the things in the world, my time with you would be the most important.
I would do this every day until the orange glow tells me that I must say goodbye.
At that point, I would hug you so I can cherish every second until my last breath as I fade away into the darkness.
(My uncle Neil Akimoto inspired me to write this who is in a coma after a stroke caused internal bleeding in his brain on June 14, 2017 that is getting worse.)
