Life is like ripple on the sea, where it will have its high and low continously. One can say that it creates issues and problems to life, however, it gives life texture and making it something to look forward to. I do have to admit that upon facing the lows, digesting it might seems to be difficult and maybe, that is what created middle life crisis thingy! It is not the heat rash or any syptom that makes it such a big issue, but seriously it is the mental state of mind that stirred huge waves of emotion! Guess one has to look at the big picture and squeeze out some reflection on it and move on!
At this point of time, I guess that middle life crisis is still not anywhere near the corner. Life is really like a buffet spread to me... when you are rich at this very moment, you get to have the red carpet service that ushers you into the resturant where tons of food awaited for your pick. One might be overwhelmed by the variety that he/she losses touch of reality and might even becomes arrogant and egolistic. Temptation looks good but never necessary meant beneficial!
Anyway, back to the issue, it is not so idea if you are filled up with bread, way before your entrance to the buffet spread! So, the question now is that should one just stick to the holy bread for filling or enjoy the colourful buffet temptation while they are still capable of footing the bill? Wealth don't last forever - grab while you can, on the other hand, arrows from cupid is never a machine gun too!
This is a classical dialectic dilemma, where by the mental discourse is subjugated by the eminent presence of temptation.
ReplyDeletelife's journey seems to come unto a cross road when u hit the 30's, whereby the youthful vibrancy and nonchalant life dons a different taste.
The subtle tones of constancy, stability and assurance creeps in an incipient manner into our sub conscious state of mind.
The idealistic pursuit for freedom and gratification seems to wane, and in its place we ponder on things that are far more complex, when we slow our pace in life to piece together the sniplets of the melodrama of our yesteryears.
we then see the synchronity and flow of events leading and shaping our very actions, "life a result of cause and consequence or a resultant of fate" we often ask!!
The monumental question often being "are we at ease with status quo, and where am i heading to" .... do we turn to faiths and beliefs or do we continue in our somnambulism.
to sum up, " the non examined life isnt worth living" the interlectual intercourse between us and society at large builds the superstructure of our being,the very basis of who we are, what we stand for and what we will become...... so choose wisely~!!!! :)
