Thoughts~
I love to walk along the path from the mrt to my home after the rain. As I strolled under the shady trees, the cooling breeze of the after-rain felt fresh on my skin. And the breeze would sweep through vast green fields gently, forming what seemed like the waves of an ocean. On the path I took, few cars would travel along the roads, thus the air was quiet and clean.
Normally, I would think about just going home to rest, or ways I can buck up on my studies, or how much homework I have to do when I reach home. But today, as half of my holidays are gone and as I took my time to reach home, I thought about a few things. And while sitting here and typing, I thought of a few more things.
Along the path, I questioned my existence. Why am I here?
Well, the simplest answer would be that my mother gave birth to me, so I am here. But to ask further back, why did my mother give birth to me and to no other? How did ‘I’ come about? And why is there an ‘I’? Why am I ‘I’? As in, why am I who I am? And why here and no other places?
And as I sat at my table and staring into the computer screen, I questioned the purpose of my existence. Am I here to eat, study, work, spend money then die? Am I here to seek temporary material and non-material satisfactions? Am I here to slack, play computer games and enjoy my life while other people elsewhere suffer? Then what is life? What is enjoyment? Why do some have it while others don’t? Where do the rights come from? Why the sufferings? Why the unfairness?
Ok if I continue thinking, I *might* end up being a nun. lol
Well for some questions, there are no answers. So it is what it is because it is just meant to be that way. As for answerable ones, it differs from person to person. And even if I answer it now, I may have a different answer some time later. So I’ll keep it to myself :)
What’s your answer?
~~*Society is like a huge picture puzzle and we make up the pieces. And there are no identical pieces although some have similar characteristics with another. Also, just like how a piece affects those around it, we affect the people around us too.*~~
