VIVA LA VIDA!
"Do you look at your life Sir?"
This question since the first time I heard it, never fails to pry me. Then suddenly, I realized, yes why not look at your life, reflect or whatever you prefer to call it once in a while.
For eighteen years of my existence, though it feels like I have lived longer than that span, I always thought as some other people say, "life is what you make it". But isn't it in Logic, it says that we were born with everything that we need to sustain our lives is just there scattered and the only thing we must do is just seek for those things you believe is essential for you to survive. Which most of us do; well of course except for those people who were born with "silver platter/spoon" and they just open their mouth and take it all in, without so much effort, don't you think that is unfair?? Unfortunately, I am not one of those lucky people.
Well I don't blame my parents for that, well first of all I don't consider myself as the less fortunate one. Actually, I pity them for they weren't able to taste what the true essence of life is. Life is yes, suffering, as Buddha said. But these struggles, the pain, hindrances and everything that leads us to frustration were the very things that teaches us to fight. I'm happy that I do not have lots of money, atleast I have the urge, the drive to seek for it hahaha! My parents didn't have that so called ideal education, and guess what? they trying their best to give us one.
What I wanted to impart is that, let us not be sad or devastated if we have these "holes" or missing part in our lives. Example, I don't have a car which will take me anywhere I wanted to, so what I'm doing right now is that, Im focusing in my studies so that eventually I'll be able to land a lucrative job which will enable me to buy a one tight car. Damn! And if I will not be able to fulfill that fantasy of mine, that is the only time you'll caught me committing suicide.
People may not take me seriously by now, they may think that I'm still too immature for me to digest life, what they do not know that I'm so up for every challenges, every arrow and every bullet.
VIVA LA VIDA!
