While
thinking about what to share here; while I’m experiencing a quarrel with
somebody, while I watched Tangled where Rapunzel, the lady protagonist, sings
and a line that she mentioned says, "What is this life? Up where will they
go.” I was made to ponder what life is all about. Encounter lots of things that
made us cry, made us regret, made us decide, and made our
heart break into two. We toiled, we worked hard, we exerted so much effort just
to fight and go on with this life. And at the end, we still made things in vain
and everything seems so meaningless. I remember that Solomon stated this line
in the bible, “Meaningless, Meaningless… everything is meaningless.” Why? Why everything is meaningless? We’re
trying to fix everything but still everything is meaningless. Maybe even this
piece of writing is also meaningless.
Oh! Life
really has so much in it. We don’t know where things lead us. We try to work
things out, but most of the times we fail. We tried to beat odds, tried to
battle everything that comes our way, there were times we go with the flow but
still everything comes and resulted to meaningless things. We overcome, but there’s
still a point in our life we thought of it as nothing because we also went
through to another thing we need to overcome. Just like the saying that goes, “Our
lives are like a candle in the wind.”, that you tried to light that said candle
and you had difficulty on doing it because you only have one match stick left
but the wind blew it off. Everything change, our friends left, our life alter.
If I kept on stating everything we could think negative about this life… this
page is not enough to contain everything.
Grandma
Moses said, “Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.” Yeah, I
totally agree with that statement. Everything in our life, the results or
outcome, the way we handle and take it depends on the way we deal with it. Even
if things in your life goes down to the deepest pit of nowhere, but when you
knew that everything has its reason, everything has its function and you
received them in a way that will make you to push through with life even if a
wall or big mountain already hinders your path, those are just nothing to you
because you do know, that life is like an onion, you peel it off one layer at a
time that sometimes you were taken aback because your tears already blurred you
sight but .
They
said its okay to cry when things like these happens, however better smile
because things like that happens in your life. This means that you are mature
enough in that level, that you know already how to handle such situation.
A quote
says, “Life is the first gift, love is the second and understanding is the
third.” This means that you need to have those ingredients to make your life
rolling. One said already that Life is simple, but it is not easy. You will
really feel all the various feeling in this life because everything really
needs to be faced and be encountered by an individual like us.
“Life
isn’t worth living unless you’re willing to take some big chances and go for
broke.” It might lead you to where you don’t think you’ll go but HELL! The most
of it you fight and go on with life. If it’s meaningless, then so be it, the
best thing there is you did know it’s meaningless, or worthy, because you reach
the end than staying at the entrance, or at the middle of this life and are
left hanging and wanting, dreaming and desiring to know what’s at the end of
everything.
