Some choose to believe
they are stuck,
in existential dilemmas,
unable to move in any direction.
Some choose to believe
they can be free,
from existential dilemmas,
able to move in some direction.
Truth is,
you will never know
if you are really stuck
if you do not do your best to be free.
The Buddha-to-be did not believe
he or anyone else was destined to be stuck,
to be a victim of existence, life and death,
which is how he managed to break free.
