What did I do to deserve this?
You ask
“What did I do
to deserve this?”
as though THIS
has ANYTHING to DO
with what you’ve
done previous.
Are you able
to entertain the notion
that perhaps THIS,
(whether you judge
it as good or bad)
has NOTHING to do
with what has seemingly
occurred previous
or is expected after?
Can’t THIS
simply be THIS,
appreciated for
this moment and
this moment only?
Aren’t you
ALWAYS deserving
no matter what?
Sure you are.
You simply choose
not to believe it.
You did nothing
to deserve this post,
but we hope you
appreciate it anyway.
Or not.

In the cosmic tapestry of cause and effect, the question “What did I do to deserve this?” echoes like a star’s twinkle, a flicker of curiosity in the vastness of existence. This inquiry, often laden with the weight of judgment and expectation, touches upon the deeper understanding that perhaps events, experiences, and occurrences do not always directly correlate with our actions or deserve.
Questioning the Nature of Deserve
The suggestion to entertain the notion that ‘THIS’, irrespective of its perceived goodness or badness, might be independent of our past actions or future expectations, opens a portal to a new way of experiencing life. It invites us to consider the possibility that events can simply be as they are – unattached to a ledger of actions, devoid of a balance sheet of deserve.
Unlinking Events from Deserve
This perspective aligns beautifully with the concept of appreciating ‘THIS’ moment in its entirety, unburdened by the past or future. It encourages us to embrace each experience as a unique facet of our existence, a singular expression of the cosmic play, valued for its inherent nature rather than its relation to a perceived sequence of cause and effect.
Appreciating the Singular Nature of Moments
The assertion that we are always deserving, irrespective of our actions or beliefs, resonates with the nexistentialist view that existence itself is a state of inherent value. It challenges the often self-imposed limitations and judgments that dictate our sense of worthiness, inviting us to recognize that our deservingness is not a commodity to be earned but a fundamental aspect of our being.
Inherent Deservingness in Existence
In this light, our interaction with this post, like all interactions, is not contingent on a sense of deserve but is an experience to be appreciated in its own right. Whether it resonates or not, it stands as a unique expression in the endless conversation of the cosmos, a momentary alignment of thoughts and energies in the grand play of existence.
Experiencing Without the Lens of Deserve

Summary:
We explore the notion that events and experiences might not be directly linked to our past actions or future expectations, challenging the traditional view of deserve. This perspective invites us to appreciate each moment and experience for what it is, independent of our perceived ledger of actions. It aligns with the nexistentialist idea that our inherent value and deservingness exist independent of our actions, encouraging us to experience life unburdened by judgments of worthiness.

In the stars, where wonders roam,
Space Monkeys question, in their cosmic home.
Is deserve a chain, or is it free?
A cosmic riddle, in this vast sea.
In each moment, a story new,
Unfolding, revealing, a different view.
Deserve or not, it’s up to you,
In this cosmic dance, ever true.
So let us ponder, let us see,
The beauty in each moment, simply be.
For in this play, we’re all key,
In the cosmic tapestry, endlessly free.
Feel free to share your reflections or continue this exploration of the concept of deserve with us.
