So many things have happened in the past few days. I've built a house for unfortunate people, I've been to the most perfect place in the world without my loved one, I've injured myself countless times on this trip and thats only the starting.
Along this trip, I've also found so many things that are bad, hard to name them all but they're there. Some of them physically, and some of them emotional. All of them affected me really badly.
Something recent made me realise, that no matter how much it may seem to be at any point in time, life isn't perfect. Even when you've found the one person that you love truly and that person is someone who makes your world complete and "perfect" it never really is. Life doesnt hand things to you on a silver platter and say, "Hey, no more surpises ok? lets call it even and from now on, you're set" no such thing. Life always wants to surprise us, to shock us when we least expect it and continuously tries to break us.
Face it, life wasnt designed to be fair, if it was, then the world would have no poverty, no starvation, no wars or no deaths. Life would be one fairytale after the next. Life was designed to test us, to sieve out the ones who have the determination to suceed and change their world for the better from those who get impaled upon life's sword and perish.
The thing is, although life isn't perfect and we cannot expect it to be given to us so simply, we cannot just sit there and let life throw all the punches. We are here, to make use of the time we have here, to attempt to fulfil our dreams whether it be to become rich, to change the world, to find that one person you love, anything to be content. We must follow those dreams, and stop life and make our lives, how we want it.
Life can't be pre planned for us, but we can at least make a sketch of our futures and use that as a guide for what we will become. True, we will face life's many ups and downs, enjoy the highlights and die within from the disappointments, cherish the moments that we love, and try to forget those that we loathe...But in the end Life isn't perfect, it never starts out that way, but that's what we can do, We can strive, to make life perfect, in our own ways, make it perfect, in our own eyes and make it perfect, for ourselves as individuals...
Love you all

Actually I think that life is interesting and 'lively', not despite the injustice but because of it. No matter how I think about it, I'd feel like something was missing if the world was 'perfect'. I don't think anyone can fully appreciate happiness if they've never experienced sadness, and vice versa... Just my opinion, but I think it's important to fully embrace all of life's experiences, good or bad. We only live once :]
ReplyDeleteThat's true of course. If all the bad things were taken out of life, then life would be boring, we all need something bad to drive us forward. Nothing has to be completely good, But then in the end, when we make make the effort and step back to take a look at our lives, we see all those events, good and bad as our perfect life. Right?
