You Only Live Once (YOLO)... for Pokémon

I've explained an aspect of certain feelings and how that may relate to Pokémon, then proceeded to explain one of two others that I said would be related to that aspect - even if faintly by experience - while still including Pokémon. Now, I'd like to "close the gap (or circle)" by explaining the third in the group, certainly along with Pokémon. It is now also evident of how else the three aspects are related - by their assonance - besides by experience and now putting them alongside Pokémon.

The third aspect is "YOLO", short for "you only live once". It does mean what one would think it implies: there is really only one life for every person in this world, notwithstanding the possible future ones in different spiritual realms. It also means that one may also have certain freedom to pursue all the good and best things in life, for there may only be one chance for them. Depending on the person, this may be a prompt to pursue different things - hopefully ones that are wholesome for one and all, like Pokémon.

For that, Pokémon can provide entertainment in all its varied media forms, achievements for those who are willing to go the extra mile, and connections to all kinds of fans who enjoy and seek for the same things. All those things are great things to have in a life that may only occur once, so to pursue any and all of them would be great to do. Though, as they say, the pursued things may not be able to be carried over to the next life, it may be that the wisdom gained from them could be, and that may be the only comfort.

Meanwhile, the aspect is also the exact title of an instrumental music piece by Yanni - which I don't have to say is an artist I'm rather fond of and have frequently attempted to connect on this blog. It's a contemplative but upbeat piece that may provoke considerations of much of the above. A little more offbeat from that is a song with slightly closer ties that I happened to discuss exactly one year ago (see below), but may also be regarded to have similar spirits to the aspect as I've discussed above, and that too is a good thing.

With this discussion, the three experiential aspects have all been discussed and are all now present on this blog along with their possible ties to Pokémon. All their relations, to each other as well as to Pokémon, seemingly may not be clear-cut to most people and/or fans, but at least by my dealings with them and then with Pokémon, some things may become evident to be considered. And all that happens within the time that is my life, which like other life is fleeting and perhaps only once... but in a good way, especially with Pokémon.
