Every Part of Life

Sunday, August 06, 2006

This week is rather eventful. Thursday - to the airport to send off relatives and dinner with cousins, friday - a movie with platoon mates + fire piquet duty, saturday - SENTOSA with 64s and today - at home civ and slack :)

Was enlightened by the movie "Click" I've watched on Friday. It has such a good mix of fun and touchy sentiments. The idea of the universal remote seems totally cool at the start, but when things start to go haywire...life starts to go wrong. You are missing chunks of your own life.

It made me recall what I wrote in my journal in Sec 2. "Why does our life has to include misery, sadness when we don't need them at all". I wrote the whole sentence in caps. Sec 2. So that's why my teacher called me to talk to her during reading period.

She said something like, "Life will be so boring without all these emotions...life will seem very pointless without all these things..."

Seems like a trivial answer.

And now I think the answer is beyond that.

Everything makes you appreciate everything else.

It's back to the typical "yin-yang" argument again. Whenever there's light, there's a shadow. Things exist for one another. When your life is in misery - it makes you appreciate the other side. Sickness, sadness, hopelessness are things that you need to help you appreciate the life you have now.

It's probably destiny or fate that help us pave our lives. Just walk down the road and appreciate the scenary and learn from all the experiences. All the drops, all the drips, every part of your life - it's worth living.

I had hoped to fast forward these 2 years. Now I'm having different thoughts. It's a worthy experience.
