As year 2007 come to a close, as friends after friends wave goodbye and as i venture deeper into life, sigh, looks like growing up is not a pretty thing as i thought ii would be when i was young.
No wonder Peter Pan dreaded the process of growing up because you being older equals to more responsibility and more thinking in life.
Year 2008 will most probably be my last year in Ipoh i am sure, and until now, i still do not know where should i go.
"University lah!" many would say but for me, following others footsteps or what is considered "normal" just is not my thing.
Come to think of it, life just seems like an endless pointless cycle sometimes. Don't you see?
At first it is getting born, then it is getting to school which is followed by getting a degree/diploma/PhD (depending on ur brains) and then its getting a job followed by getting cars, houses, $$ which leads to getting a spouse and eventually getting children and lastly getting into your coffin.
SO pointless isn't it? Everyone of us must go through basically the same stages in life, same obstacles such as finding money to support yourself and sad to say, each and everyone of us must die.
Which makes me hate growing up even more.
I have to think of why am i doing all this if everything seem so pointless. I have to worry about so many things, so many aspects in my life. I just cannot understand how some of the people my age, even older than me, go around enjoying themselves with sex, booze, games and self-enjoyment without truly considering what will happen to them after the next 20 years.
Come on, for example, how long do you expect to party like there's no tomorrow? Until you're 60, 70? And after you die, what's next? If you really go up to heaven or hell, most probably, what is your answer when someone asks you what good have you done in life? Making 10-20 children?
Like they say, ignorance is bliss. Or, some of our brains just aren't build for questions this big or else it will go "BOOM".
Why then, am i still hanging around here and not preparing for a jump off Petronas Twin Towers? For one, suicide is just for those who give up on life and i'm just not ready to throw in the towel yet. Why should i waste such a beautiful life that God gave me? Good country, nice family (most of the time), good friends and heck i even have good looks. Throwing it all away is just plain stupid.
Besides, i also do not want to get a good nagging from the Lord when i do go back to heaven. Nagging on why i did not do my part in this world properly.
Yeah life may be hard, full with nails and thorns and dang, it could be a long one too. But there's an easier way to do things, without having us to worry so much and well, what else could it be? Living a life which is for God, our creator!
Put everything in His hands and let Him take care of all your needs and future. It certainly will cut down the list of the things that you have to worry for! Plus, comparing God's way to money way, fame way, sex way, drugs way, God's way absolutely stands out.
Which other way gives you everlasting joy and peace, a sense of purpose even when your whole body is wrinkled? Which way helps to make you not afraid of dying and which way gives you a lift when you're down? Which way guarantees you an eternal life, a life which you will have no regrets for? Nothing else but God's way!
Have you ever muse about life? Where it is heading? What lies beyond death? Why are we all here? Why are you even living? Why waste so much energy for life? What for?
My dear friends, brothers and sisters, what i am sharing with you here is a testament of my life. Looking back and looking forward, without God in your life, you'll discover that life is nothing but just a scientific coincidence, and the reason that you're reading my blog here today is nothing at all! Only by looking at God does it really provides an answer on why we are here on this planet Earth.
Don't be ignorant anymore~!
My friends, if you really have a better comment, do leave it here. I would welcome different kind of view from you all and if you think that this post is good, i do hope that you can forward it around. At least make the electrical bill i spent for this post worth it. And if you think it's bad, well spread it around too! I wouldn't mind if you'll just spread it around to flame it.
Til then, adios~!
Signing out,
A teenage friend
