I saw a video on Instagram about a guy who had no pilot experience stole a plane in seattle and flew it for 75 minutes and doing multiple airstunts before delibrately crashing it onto an island with no human population in Aug 2018. The story is stunning and more stunning is what made him do it. Nobody know what made him stole the plane and crash it aftwerwards. How could he fly the plane with no prior experience except playing airsimulator games on his phone. His family said they had no idea or signs that he had mental illness that he could do such thing. Even on the radio with ATC he said he wanted to apologise to his family for doing this.
What I can understand from this is that he wanted to do something, like flying a plain. He could do it through his intent but life is fragile. You never know what is going to happen. Maybe he never planned to do something like that, maybe he thought dying or crashing was the only solution to what he did by stoling an aircraft from seattle airport and alaska airlines. We would never know what was their in his mind and heart. But we are sure that life is fragile.
Whwn we know that anything can happen the next second, then why are plannign doing so much for the future as it is unknown. Why not fosture ourselves in our present and try to live the best possible way in today. Why think too much of future becase it is uncertain. Why not do things which are imporatant today and live in the moment. I think, he also did that, rather thinking what is going to happen in future he lived in the moment. He never know that he could fly but he did. He never know if he could do a backflip with a commercial airplane, but he did. And he lived in the moment and cherished every part of it. He voice seemed happy that he was happy doing and living that moment of flying an airplane all by himself. That was powerful and the moment too. Sadly, it ended with a suicide. I dont say that what he did was right, he was out of his mind by doing that. And shouldnt have done that. There were legal and better ways of doing that. But, what I am saying is that, if you do the right thing and live in the moment you life would be beatiful. So, stop thinking about future and start living in today.
You are the creator! You are the power.
