A Levels.
Sunday, September 14, 2008
It's been a week or so since I last posted. It was prelims, then slacking, and more slacking.
I think I will start only tomorrow, and hopefully I can finish the things that I want to do.
Someone told me that my life is a sad one a few days ago. I won't deny that, but still, I'm okay with my life. I'm not complaining about it, although it definitely could be better.
Which brings me to the concept of true joy. I debated whether joy is subjective or objective in nature, and came to the conlcusion that the concept is objective, but the feeling itself is subjective. Given the same circumstances, the emotions experienced differ from person to person.
Ultimately, you decide how you want to feel, at least in the long term. My life could be hard, with not many friends to go out with, no siblings, no one to talk to at times, and the list goes on. Yet, I learnt to appreciate what I have even more, and stay contented with what I have. I could, on the other hand, choose to complain about the unfairness of life.
Maybe I am immune to the disappointment that life brings. Regardless, such mentality is difficult to change once set. To those who find no purpose in life, I urge them to find one soon.
Lead a life that you want to lead, for you only live this once!
