10 philosophical mini-stories every woman will relate to
Once upon a time, there was a girl. One day, she realized that life was meaningless and cried, because she didn’t know what to do. Then she realized life was meaningless and laughed, because it didn’t matter what she did. And then she accepted that life was meaningless and finally felt at peace. Because what matters isn’t what you do, but how you do it.
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She dreamed of learning to dance but was too lazy to make progress. Some days, she would wake up at 6 AM — kids, husband, work, grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, cooking… By 11 PM, she would crawl into bed and sigh, “I didn’t dance again today!” Lazy, no doubt about it!
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She wanted to expand her cultural horizons by reading all the literary classics but couldn’t decide where to start — Orwell or Fitzgerald. So she kept watching America’s Got Talent.
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She wanted to help all living beings but didn’t know how. So she traveled to Tibet and asked the wise for guidance. They simply told her, “Calm down. That will help.”
Once upon a time, there was a girl. One day, she read that every fourth person in the world has a mental disorder. She read it… and got a little upset herself.
Once upon a time, there was a girl. And no one played with her. She was very sad until she realized — she wasn’t playing with anyone either. So she started.
Once upon a time, there were two girls. One declared that India was a blessed place. The other insisted that India was a foul-smelling hole. What’s the conclusion? All girls are different. And India? India is different too.
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She loved complete clarity in relationships. Sometimes, she even managed to achieve it. The only problem was… it was never clear whether the relationship survived after that.
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She worked hard all week and couldn’t wait for the weekend. Then the weekend came. And it finished her off completely.
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was always prepared, always right, always first, always kept her word, always set an example. In short, she was a lot to handle.
