i ask myself over and over.
what is my existence for?
there are many ways to live your life. there are unlimited fates followed by unlimited paths. to live by that, you could only choose one. one life, one way to live, one women/men, one house, one landscape to look on, one way to die.
it depends on how would you like to live.
for me….living is about learning. a man with plenty of knowledge will succeed on ‘living’ since it will gain us happiness and prosperity to both yourself and many people. i myself, realize that recently after a few months sitting on the seat of a tenth grader. i stand before a tabular mirror, set my eyes upon my own and consider what the world might give to me a few decades later. i started to think: problems, challenge, jealousy, and many others in school context is just the beginning. life out there is much more severe and challenging. you fail, you go poor, got broke and then you die. that;s how you lose if you’re out there. as I sit in high school until collage, my ass is still supported by my parents. without them, i was nothing but a corpse, even then, to tell you the truth, i am a living corpse. perhaps everyone is like that. that is what makes each individual to be consider as equals, only not many realize this truth. everyone must realize that people are insignificant. from measuring our size compare to the size of the earth’s diameter, i feel more insignificant. 2 years ago i went off for a field trip to the other side of one of the biggest islands in the malay archipelago, java. I was heading to solo, yogya, purbalingga, then head back home. from what i realized, just from where i am, in bogor, which is around the west side of the island traveling to the eastern region of the island took a remarkably long time even though there was no stop at all and we were travelling in a constant speed, which approximately took 15 hours. i was stunned, from both towns, it was less than 820 km but it took that long by bus. my journey was far from a half of a quarter from the earth’s total circumference. i glance to the sky, imagining that the earth itself is also nothing but an insignificant fragment of the universe. there are also Jupiter, which sizes more than 100 earths; the sun which sizes more than a thousand Jupiters; the solar system which expands in the diameter of thousands of astronomical units; the galaxy which sizes thousands of light years (one light year is the equation of a distance traveled by the speed of light for the period of a year where the speed of light is about 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum space); the black hole/worm hole that could initiate a jump across to another part of the universe billions of light years away, you will never see earth again.
i believe i made myself clear.
humans are nothing but something to compare as the size of a sub-atom compare to the universe. we learn that human nature is about glory and needs that need to be filled. the only constraints on achieving that is their ability and their mental on trying to achieving that. however, we are design by nature (or by God) to independently think for ourselves and try to make new things, developing tools and gadgets for convenience, and a way on living our lives to the fullest. we compete to achieve that. winners will live happily and losers will suffer and will die with living in vain, but that depends on their condition. if they lost in the condition of jumping to life with a bad start from the beginning, and then die in vain, personally, i never wanted anyone to die in vain that way because i think that as something unfair.
that is why, what i wanted to do is to live my life to the fullest, starting from now. since i;m still young, still healthy and wildly prepare for anything, i still have the chance to shape my own destiny. of course, if i succeed, i won’t credit myself fully. i would thank everyone for influencing me.
i guess that’s all i have to say….good night
what's on your mind?
