I've always wanted to start a blog, so here it is.
I heard about this site from a friend (hey Ell !!!!), and it seemed pretty sweet.
so basically, i have a lot to say. Things that i've never had the oppurtunity to put into words for other people to read, and maybe get something out of. For example: yesterday at uni, i heard that a friend of mines grandfather passed away. Although elderely death is inevitable (for now anyway), i couldn't help but think about how pointless the whole cycle of life really seems. Seeing the pain that this person was feeling due to this was enough for me to start thinking about existence.
I see people trying so hard (me included) - whether it be for their education, profession, or just everyday kind of stuff. We are trying so hard to 'become' something; to achieve success in order to eventually have enough money to sustain a family. With this in mind, death seems to cancel all these aspirations out for me. Fair enough, we're alive and we should make the most out of the time we have, and i really believe in this, but i can't help but feel like i'm sitting in a waiting room, just waiting for the end. Back to my point: we try so hard, and strive to become what we want to become... but in the end, the equation adds up to nothing. We will eventually die. Our names will be forgotten over time, and the things we strived for/to become won't stand for anything - don't get me wrong; to our children, and our childrens children, what we did during our lives will be spoken about and remembered, but over time, as our children and their children get old, our achievements, and our lives will be lost.
I know i'm pondering on this, and you may not have the same thoughts as me.. but the occurence of death, and the sadness it brings got me thinking about how life is just a waiting room, full of up's and down's, laughter and tears, family and friends etc, and we shouldn't take advantage of the little time we have left, because eventually our lives will be forgotten, but the lives we lead and the people we spend our time with are all that matters in the end.
Don't take anything for granted, we're all more fragile than you think.

ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's like we are living with no purpose though. There IS a purpose to life, but it all comes down to how we perceive it and what we do with it. The whole purpose of life is to make the most of it like you said and not take anything for granted. We do die in the end, but life isn't necessarily a process of waiting for that moment of death to come. Think of the orgasm thing from english, text and writing (haha i know) but its quite similar to that in a way, the 'climax' is those exciting moments in our lives that we live for, like when we get married, or have children, or travel etc. But the orgasm eventually ends, and its 'beautful' but it has to end.
Life can seriously be perceived in SO many ridiculously different ways. From my point of view we're basically just living our life, making it as beautiful as we can, and living with the though that one day we WILL die, so why wait for death pointlessly? Make the most of it :) like looking up random crap on goodle Aka Vampires and aliens ahahah thumbs up we're so cool
