wonder? well... you are alive for more than the past quarter century, what have you achieved? or maybe more like what did you achieve for the past 28 years of your life...
sometimes life makes you ponder on how you live your dreams and sometime on how envious lifestyles of the rich and famous (maybe infamous).. you know what i mean?
well, i'm spending my "youthful" years in seclusion in a land down under trying to look in another different point of view of this so called life that has given us...to better understand what is the meaning of life to us... to further witness what life is offering us...well... apart from personal interest here as well of course...hahaa...
what have i done the past years that am i proud of... hmmm.... *pondering*
what is the thing that you actually want out of this life you are living... wealth, health? or the legacy you lived that you want others to remembered you by..
we live on this earth for such a short time... ok.. let's say we averagely live for 75 years..(that's 3/4 of a century what more can you ask for!) you think that's a long time? i'd say it's freaking short.... to do something that you been dreaming of doing in your lifetime, that's like a quick fuck. 3 minutes of pleasure... that's all, nothing more... how sad that is... oh well...
there's always dreams that we have yet to achieve or never will achieved...
ever dream of hiking the Everest?
mountain biking on the grand canyon?
skydive at an altitude of unbelievable level?
trek the amazon Forest? round the world in 80 days?
diving into the abyss of mariana trench...
sking from the highest peak off the alps...
swimming with wild dolphins in open seas..
driving a machine that hits the sound barrier...
party in the most amazing scene in the world?
photography sessions in the middle east war zone...
or lately the infamous swimming adventure across the coldest waters in Arctic?
and my personal fav, partying at the bunny house =D
will you be content? that's the question.. will you be content? are you satisfied of what you have done?
now that's my topic of the day... what is the meaning of content to you... and to my surprise, i've found many different answers from many different culture and colors of people... it's more to what heritage you are born and bred with. i found vast differences with western and eastern cultures.. the way they think, how way they are brought up, the differences in levels of mentality... with that i sum up that each and everyone of us is born special... with unique identity.. that makes us 6 billions of populations on earth with different interest.
the point is whether if you are living your in dreams or are you dreaming about living your dreams... if you are content... then you have answered your inner most desired dream...or are you not?
so i am hitting my 28th wonder... am i content? well... 1/2 of my dreams are achieved... am trying hard to live the 2nd part of my life.... so am i content with what i;ve been through for the past 28 years? well.. i can tell you i am 1/2 way there now before my golden years...
life is not about how much wealth you have earn nor how healthy you are... what's the point of living for more than a century if you have not lived in your dreams!!! cuz there is no such thing as free lunch... there will ALWAYS be sacrifices... whether for the good or the bad choices you have made... in every choices you made there is always consequences.. it's the action and effect thingy... whatever you do and the consequences.. be it good or bad..
life is about are you content with what you do... are you living your life to it's fullest... we have a very very short life span on this earth...
so my question is... you can be hitting your whatever wonder you are at.. but are you living your life as you wanted it to be? or are you living on your family's legacy? or you are living on social peer pressures?
my answer? reality check! *cry*
11.55am 25th June 2008, 5 more minutes to go b4 my bday ends =) and i am having my fav cocktail... Graveyard muahahaa.. with my colleagues. 2 glasses of it should should make me content for the night... or maybe not.. hahahaaaa...
