Off and On, the past couple of days...I've been thinking.
If there is a reasoning to life, what is it? How do we know if it's the right reason?Is there more than one reason? If these reasons are filled, do we get a new set, or do we perish? What if you never fully finish them? Are your tasks ever truly done? If you live for one person..what if they don't live for you? Do you really live for spirituality? Can you live for your beliefs as well as someone else?
If everyones beliefs are different, and you live for them...what makes them real? What makes them significant enough that we live for them, yearn for them...and worship them?
I'm not bad mouthing religion, in any sense.
I'm just wondering, if we all think such different things, how can such a vast species go on living, when we don't even know our full self worth? Sure, some things tell us, but that's all hear-say. How do we figure it out for our own self matter?
Why do the young die?
Why do the old sometimes suffer before they move on, to whatever happens to us afterwards. If there is an afterlife,what finally decides if you go or not? And if we don't get thrusted into heaven or hell...do our souls just float around in limbo?
Do we have any control over our own lives?
In a way, we do.
Life has daily twists and turns; You decide how you react to certain things..you decide how you show the world who you are, you decide who you hang out with, you decide if you're going to be a bum, or if you're going to be the next millionaire.
The twists and turns..they come in when unknown risk/unknown factors come in.
Such as...natural disaster. You can't always account for that, but you can decide what you do before and after, and that affects how you keep on in your daily life.
The answers to this, we shall never know. And if you have the ability, or the want to think about such things, it means your basic needs are filled, such as food, shelter, basic friendships and basic love. So as those things are filled, you start thinking about higher up things, such as your own status in the world, where you'll be in the next five years...it makes you wonder about alot.
But it seems like such a common thought, that all think like this. But it's not. You have to have most basic needs to think about this on such a deep level. And it can see almost depressing, but that's now how I look at it. I find it very intriguing
So right now, I'm just going to breathe in fresh air, and feel the blood rush through my veins. Even if I never make anything of my name, no matter how badly i want to, I will know..that at least I lived a full live..I would rather regret doing too much...then regret doing nothing at all. I wanna be running when the grim reaper comes and gets me. And I can promise you, no matter how much I may question my placing, I know who I am, and i know who I want to be years from now..and no one can fully change that opinion of me...And that's what matters. Is being true to yourself.
It seems now, we get too caught up in the materalisticness of this world. We don't always stand up for whats right. Even if you're only one person, you're an other voice for the cause you're fighting for. One voice could impact millions..and even if you don't impact millions...you're atleast standing up for whats right. Why believe in something, if you're never going to stand up for it? It's like buying a hot wheels car, simply to say you have a car, but never stating it's a toy. You need to stand up for what you believe in, or you'll fall for anything.
There are no monuments dedicated to me & my name will soon be forgotten,
but i've loved another with all my heart & soul,
& to me, this has always been enough
-The Notebook
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. these persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. beautiful people do not just happen.
