Life isn’t about getting all the answers, is it. It’s about having unanswered questions hanging in your head, having conclusions you have no idea how you got, being on journeys without any real destination in mind.

And of course, not knowing when you’re going to die. Actually, some do. We just don’t want to face it. We ask ourselves ‘what is the purpose of life?’ ‘what do i live for?’ , you look at someone else, a complete stranger, and you ask ‘ what does he live for? ‘

Some say Rock&roll, some say fun, some say happiness, i used to say memories. Some say love, some say to help others, some say for God. The fun, is that our answers will never stay the same. Different equations, different conclusions, same piece of paper.

Fasten your seltbelt.

No, i like to live life with a little uncertainty.

I get these little dialogs in my head sometimes. Can’t sleep. 4.21am. People read my blog and tell me I’m ‘deep’ . Quite honestly, I’m not. I’m shallow as can be. I look at something, a glass cup with water in it, I move the glass in a circular motion so the water in it twirls, and i don’t try to think of something smart to say. Some analogy or theory i’ve derived from that action or that object.

I think, “nice water.” I remember the sound of water hitting water and i think ‘ nice sound.’ I drift into thinking about the smell in the air before the rain hits and i think ‘mmmm.’

I don’t want to be deep. I don’t want to be one of those condescending people who think they know everything and compliment others to exalt themselves. Yes, go figure how that works for them. I don’t want to be one of those people who are always sizing things up and down, always searching for a deeper meaning to things.

Simplicity is joy, in my opinion (oh what a smartass) . A cup is half full. A cup is half empty. Hell, just drink it. If you don’t, someone else will drink it, that could be someone else would direct your life, or someone else could steal your dream, or the water could evapourate, which would mean opportunities don’t knock twice, some.

Simplicity is joy, ignorance is bliss, uncertainty is pleasure, knowledge is power. And we all know where and what power leads to.

    “Simplicity is joy”

    For me, simplicity was always a joy. Remember how we were kids not giving a care in the world. We never knew how reality actually worked but i believe we were happy then. At least, i was.

    Btw i love your writings =)

    Yeah. I agree with siru. when we’re kids we are carefree. nothing seems to bother us at all. everything to us is joy and happiness. we scream,laugh,smile and couldn’t care less. haha. i wish i was a kid again. =D
