I think that's the crux of the matter. Life is not a game. The problem with games is that there are winners and there are losers. Circumstance, fate... our life is full of random variables upon which we do not have much control over. Games have rules; but what rules define this world? What are the goals? How can you win or lose a game that has already been decided? Maybe these are just excuses. I used to have expectations for the future; I used to have dreams of being successful. But sometimes I feel that I am not heading toward success anymore... which then begs the question, how can you end your life as a failure? Maybe the question is not "how you can win". Instead, maybe the more important question is "how can you lose?".
Think about it. How can you call yourself a failure? How can your life be a loss?
Sometimes we like to think that we are given a life, and that we all must make the most of it. It seems like such a simple question, but it's actually more complex. I mean, how can we make the most out of life? There is so much subjection in every statement about life... Argh. I don't know what I'm doing, or my goals, or anything. Not being EMO, promise. Just making a note that I'm very confused at the moment. Just gotta get back up, and give things another try. We're always given second chances so we can realize what we truly want. A little Google search, and I've found a good quote to cheer myself up.
Oh yea, here's another pic I took when I flew down to Dubai during spring break...“I am here again, in a familiar place feeling something I've felt before, wondering why it's still here, why I didn't deal with it more fully before. But I'm glad I have a second chance at it ... and I know that if I need a third chance, I'll get it. I also know that if it comes up again, I'll recognize it sooner and deal with it more readily. This is growth. And, I am happy to be alive.”
