On Reality and Hardships
It's time to think about things unconventionally. It's time to appreciate the stuff we've been taking for granted (for one, like having a brain that can think objectively; but that's just me). Yeah, it sounds funny, but hey... I'm not the one getting miffed up with what I've been posting here (that's you, tools, wahehe). Sounds valiant, but really... I just want to have fun with thinking. You should, too. Drop your MMORPGs, china patterns, "Oprah", monthly salaries, shopping, movies and whatnot... and think. Thinking is fun, really!Seriously though... I think we've been too engrossed with the daily humdrum of monotonous, unexamined living that we've forgotten about having a rational, thinking brain. We're no better off than animals in this case, really. And that just irritates me. So here I am, with such a messianic effort, of ranting just to get the gears in your head rolling. What a pompous loon! Yeah, I agree too! - A friend
The premise of all my posts in my blog is usally experience. And that will continue to hold on this next entry that I am writting tonight. The quote above is nice in a way that it challenges the human brain to think, but I think it's kinda foolish to add some sort of morale highground (by saying that you are challenging others in a very condescending tone).
I know pain really well. Physical and emotional. And I would be a fool to say that I don't envy some people who are having it quite easy compared to what I'm going through. But then again I'm also thankful that I'm not going through what our impoverished brothers and sisters are feeling right now. Some people need to work, and they don't have the luxury of allowance or food being served at their table, day-in and day-out. Some people need to haul ass everyday, just to make sure that they survive.
Thinking is fun, yes I agree. But the "thinking" is not limited to just going about stuff that really don't need your attention. That kind of thinking usually falls to people who really have nothing much to do. I guess the only thing I want to point out is that "Doing" is far more valuable than "Thinking". People who slave themselves for money to give a better life for themselves and their children is worth applauding, than those who just sit around and think. Its hardly being an animal. Working to provide a future for yourself and your children is sacrifice. Sacrifice and charity show humanity more than anything else. The greatest act that I can think of till this day is how parents give up alot of dreams and aspirations just to give way for their children. When the time comes that I have my own child, I would rather have worked my ass off to give them a brighter tomorrow than to have just sit around and think.
Life ain't just about MMORPGs, china patterns, Oprah, monthly sarlies, shopping, movies, and whatnot. For me it's being able to make a difference in the lives of others in a positive way. Thinking helps, but never ever forget that "doing" is far more important. Also, try not to belittle the people who slave themselves to the system, because it's their show of charity and sacrifice for their children or future children.
Yes, the creator gave us a brain. But He also gave us arms, legs, and other body parts.
If the previous author challenged you to think, I challenge you to "do". Get up, work, meet people, and stop thinking about life and start living it.
