ASK/TELL ME ANYTHING


Nothing Good Happens After 2am.
Saturday, July 24, 2010

"It was all a matter of control. And choice. Nothing more and nothing less."

Indeed, that pretty much sums up how our lives turn out, or will turn out to be from here, right now. Every choice, every decision you make is a conscious one. Yes, under certain circumstances, one may argue that he was not "given a choice" but I beg to differ. In every point of your life, in every situation you are stuck in, you have a choice to make. You are always given the liberty to choose, to decide for yourself, what step it is that you are going to make. There is no point in blaming.

Pointing fingers only make it easier for one to accept and live through one's own sufferings. It is always, undeniably, easier to put the blame on others. Most of the time, if not always, though, the finger should only point to yourself. I'm not saying you must always take full blame for any tragedy or ill fate that befalls upon you. Of course, you can always blame your circumstances which led to your poor sorry ass being knocked down.
Then again, think about what leads your sorry little ass down on that ground. Retrace the steps, retrace your own steps.. and you will realise, at the end of the day, no one else should be blamed for your fate. No one, not even God - especially, not God.

Right, who am I to spew such nonsense in strings of words that in fact, may seem to lack coherence even. Nonetheless, I stand firm to this long-standing belief rekindled deep in my heart.
No one should take the blame for your own actions. Every action has its consequences, it's as simple as that. If you were not prepared for the consequence(s), then why take the step that leads to such consequence(s)?

The point is, if at the end of the day, you find your face completely covered in the dirt, smeared with nothing but pure filth.. then accept that foulness within. Of course, I'm not saying one should be foolish and embrace such debasing form of one's soul. Simply suck it up, and continue holding your head up high while reconstructing your inner self. Even though it is going to be a tumultous journey, having to rebuild yourself per se, it's going to be worth it. As long as you keep reminding yourself there's a light at the end of the road, that taking a leap of faith and believing in the richness of life, in blessings and punishments, then you are always in control.

My mind's truly running amok right now. Most probably, it is due to this really good book written by Paulo Coelho, which I had just finished reading; its title being "The Devil and Miss Prym". A whole struggle between good and evil. Right from the first page, it sets my mind working.. and till now, my mind just can't rest.

Self-introspection is indeed important for one to fully grow and lead a meaningful life. The search for enlightenment always seems to be a perilous journey, one that only few choose to embark on. Why is that so?

I don't think I will ever comprehend.
