+ journey+
On the very day you were born, you were born with a purpose, for a purpose. Which is unknown to all. Unknown like the uncertainty of the near future. And, that very purpose? That's for you to find out.
Life is a journey, that is, somewhat, like walking in search of the horizon. You dont have any slightest idea, at all, when or where, it is going to end. That is, actually, one huge question mark. But finding the answer, is in fact not, at all, what we should focus on.
What we REALLY should focus, is the course, the path taken whilst in the journey. It can be tedious yet enjoyable, tedious and unhappy, relax yet anxious, relax and easy and so many other...ways to walk this journey. It doesnt always remain the same. It doesnt have to.
Down that path, there are bound to be challenges. It may seem to get difficult each time you get past one, but then again, it may also get easier. It depends on yourself. How you think and view it as. How you face it.
Do you,
`1 turn around and run.
`2 find alternative route to get past it.
`3 face it in the face, and do what is needed to be done.
`4 turn to others and let them lead your journey.
I feel the answer for me, is the 3rd one.
``Analysis``
[turn around and run.]
A cowardly act, as i view it to be. If there is only this path for you to get to the 'other end', then there wont be this choice at all.
Many choose to run and even seek protection from their parents. Yes. As children, yes. We arent ready to face challenges as such yet. Running away isnt a solution to most things, or say, not at all a solution. As much as i wish to run away from challenges, i dont. The problem will still be there the very next day. And may i ask, how long can your parents shield you? Someday, they are gonna let you go on your own. Then you'll come to realise, what they've done is to try give the best to you. But, some time, the very best is to let you 'suffer' and know how to get through obstacles yourself [maybe with a little help though.].
[find alternative route to get past.]
Not bad an idea itself. But...the thing is, it is there, yet you walk PAST it, ignoring that the fact that it still exists.
Getting past it shows no problem. In fact, it seems easy [ maybe it really is]. But. When you face another challenge, do you actually do that again? If you do, how long are you going to do that? As of so, this option is another form of running away. You are still facing the challenge, and it may get complicated in most cases. This option, takes quite a courage to do that. By yourself actually. Rather than the earlier one. This takes more. In fact, if you have the courage to do this, why not have the challenge using the next option?
[face it in the face, and do what is needed to be done.]
Easier and faster way of conquering fear. The above two options are examples of fear. Taking matters into hands and there wont be anymore fear. Once the fear is conquered, what more is there to be afraid of? Another challenge? Comm-on. Take it as it comes.
[turn to others and let them lead your journey.]
Sure. Let them find the solution for you, while you sit and rot in your seat. Then, they become stronger mentally while you remain the same. What do this sound like to you? Great? I think, pathetic.
Comm-on. Let's face it. What the adults call it? A race which the strongest stay alive? Or what is it actually? I think it's all about the determination and believing. Some may disagree.
Like i even care. [i listen to opinions. =)]
im torn between
silent & violent expression
