i wonder..does life ever work out the way you want it to..in the end? or do we just accept that whatever comes comes, and we just make it out to be acceptable and tolerable?? on hindsight..it's not possible life works out as we want, in fact never exactly as we want..mayb with a strike of luck, it ends up vaguely close to our second/third choice..is that depressing or what...besides, it isn't as if hardwork guarantees anything...nothing's ever certain thus we end up right at the bridge with 2 million contingency plans...if we even bother planning, that is...
once again, i reiterate that maybe not having expectations is the way to go..jus let whatever comes this way, comE! let it take it's best shot..then we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and continue this arduous journey...sure, there're little slopes along the way that ease the plateaued trip..but i think it's jus a way of throwing us off guard to make the uphill ride reeeally tedious....

hmM...is it just me being really impatient n difficult..??
i echo a friend...i hate uncertainty ..but there's nothing that can be done about it is there...? as i also told the friend, jus wait it out n go ahead with whatever is ahead of you at present...hehH..alot of good that's done..

what's so great about life if you already know what the ending is?

It's a little like how beauty is even more beautiful when it is doomed...?

I think what makes life, life is not knowing what's around the bend and taking whatever comes and using it to help you get that much closer to what you want ultimately.

The ups and downs will be there regardless of what you do or how hard you try to ascend but the emotional ride is part of what makes us human. Woudln't it be the ultimate boredom if you were on a constant high?

It's a fact that there are no guarantees in life but if you can learn to appreciate the uncertainty and transience, you learn to love what you do have that much more.

I think that goals in life should be like your goal in a game, it's not about trying to get a certain score but about playing to win. You miss some, you score some but as long as you keep your focus and keep on trying your darndest, you're a winner already.

love you, che

okae..im still not very savvy at this...

what if im not interested in what's round that bend?? 'sides, i dun fancy being human very much if its so emotionally draining...what's the point in that..sure, we get a taste of what joy & sorrow is..but hey, if one never knew, one'd never noe what he/she's missing out on right...ignorance is bliss ain't it..??

but i noe what you're trying to say, since im already living a life, i should jus live it..
point: i dunno what the best kindda life is, how then can i live it to the fullest n best? there's always gonna be another best isnt there....

so i try my darndest & wish n hope that it'll make a difference?? is that it??
 
wrong... having emotional ups and downs don't necessarily make it draining... I think, with time, practice and sufficient discipline you can actually objectively analyse the dynamics of any situation and being to appreciate what makes a human, human.

At the end of the day, it's the collective set of flaws we each have that makes us so unique and different, How interesting would life be if we were all uniformly perfect? I wouldn't want to talk to people nor learn more about the way they think; what's the point? We wouldn't even be having this conversation because we would already be in perfect understanding and agreement with each other. What would be left for us to ponder over, converse about? The scary part, is there even room for celebration and joy when you have attained utopia? Point: The only way you can go is down.

When you say ignorance is bliss, you are right because humans are inherently ignorant. Our journey through life sees us learning more things every day (always good fun) and the discovery process never ends.

On another level, you say you'd rather skip feeling the joy and sorrow because ignorance is bliss. What would you know about living a life with no emotions? If ignorance is bliss, why are you hankering after a state of being that you are ignorant about? Shouldn't your ignorance cause you bliss now?

Nobody knows what the best kind of life is, my conclusion for now is just to try to be as happy as you can, where ever you are and whatever you choose to do or to be. Why strive for perfection when you can spend the time and energy striving to make yourself happy? Come to think of it, who even gives about perfection? It's been non-existent in the history of humankind so far. Why don't you try analysing why perfection means so much to you and while you're at it, what makes you happy?
