life.the road of discovery.
yeah im back for a while. lazy bugger me trying to slack a while before getting back to hit the books. maybe i might. literally. anyways, i just wanted to blog something that i got inspired again while i was on my way home after studying. as you can see from the heading, its my opinion about life. afterall it remains as my opinion, so don't take it to heart.
life.this is a word that has got many stumped for centuries. i dare say so because even til now, philosophers, scientists, religions and people from all walks of life, example like me, are still debating about what life is.a simple word it may be, but underlying it is a whole new world of abstract thinking, views and arguments.
so what is life? religious faiths claim that life is a gift of God. the existence of a transcendent being who is omnipotent and omnipresent created this world we live in, us, and every single thing that is on earth. must be a pretty darn detailed architect/designer i must say.
scientists however claim that life began from the Big Bang. literally. the world got banged into place, as dust particles coalesce and form the various galaxies, stars, planets, comets and what-have-yous. the bacteria got banged onto earth where they start mutating..i mean evolving, growing more complex more intelligent..more everything.
philosophers...well the way they discuss life is pretty abstract, even for me, so i won't type about their kind of thinking, lest i write something wrong and embarrass myself.
however, all these i stated above, is not important to me and not what i wanted to type about (haha, got you there didn't i). my take is on the present. everywhere you go, you'd always hear about how life is hard, life is crap and people are suffering in their lives. true. i've always believed that life is indeed hard. life is a life sentence upon all of us. we live just so at the end of it, we die. simple as that. the health promotion board always say, eat healthy and proper food. the government encourages people to adopt healthy lifestyles by engaging in sports and yada yada. yeah yeah, whatever the case, as i would put it simply, eat right, exercise, die anyway.isn't this the case?
of course, i still do believe in it. unfortunately or fortunately, its up to you to decide. thats my view and i will keep it this way. however, i do realise that life is also slightly more than that. i don't mean the working, studying and other mumbo-jumbo. all these things, if seen from a bird's eye view, out-of-body view..whatever views, is trivial. its like the little stones we pick along the beach and we try to skim it across the water surface and see whether is can make how many bounces before it sinks.
life is a road of discovery. we discover things every single day. about our surroundings, about others, and more importantly about ourselves. there are so many discoveries we make and so many more waiting to be made. the number is staggering. i've always asked myself questions like "why am i here for? to study? to know and get girlfriends? what am i doing?" all these stuff. through these, i tend to think alot and i try to give myself answers where i can. and of course, i discover things about myself that i never noticed before.
everyday, i discover myself in various ways, in some ways a bastard, in other ways abnormal etc. the things that we do or occur in our life have an impact, if we just pay more attention to it. i think this is amazing because it helps me to relate to myself, sometimes i ask myself why am i such a bastard for the things i do, of course, sometimes i do do good stuff, even if i do say so myself.
i think there is only one word to explain it. change.
change is constant. the only constant thing is change. sounds cliche but yeah you get the point. through change we discover ourselves. we even make new discoveries about ourselves. at some point in life, you'll be thinking why are you like that the way you are now when you weren't like this before. maybe now you're dumb when you aren't last time or you're handsome or cute now (like me) if you weren't last time (not like me)...you get the idea.
such an integral part of our lives is the concept of change that we structure our lives..no we condition ourselves to change. we discovered change, and we change to discover. it is a driving force that keeps us on our toes, on our never ending journey on this road of discovery that we call life, at least until we stop and die lah.
