life, that two sided coin.
I’ve decided to abandon my old blog after thoroughly inspecting its contents and realizing that I’ve strayed away from my original purpose of owning and writing a blog. My blog, has turned into something slightly more than a rant machine, churning out dozens of complaints and lamentations of my mere human existence. I used to detest blogs that seemed to be so self-centered; often relating about how life is such a bore or how life is such a pain in the ass. Well, to be brutally honest, I think I’ve turned my blog into the very thing I used to abhor so much. Glancing through my posts, I guess I’ve been veering to the edge of becoming one of stuck-ups that go like, “I’m smarter and better than everyone else. I am the best, the rest are just scum.” And if I go on this rate, I’ll be heading in the direction of WSM. This is worrying, very worrying indeed.
Although life has its fair share of ups and downs, but surely, a coin is not coin anymore if it only has one side. No heads, no tails, it’d all be pointless and everything would be so mundane and predictable. Wouldn’t it?
Maybe once in awhile, we should just sit down and look back to the past. “Oh, the nostalgia”, you say. Not quite so. A life full of regrets “what if”s, "if only"s are probably what you’ll remember, if you think hard enough.
I’ve done my homework(and my fair share of thinking) and I’ve come up with a list of regrets.
If I had more courage, would I have become a better player?
If I was a better player, would I feel like I really am part of the team?
If I had been nicer to the people around me, would they still treat me the way they do now?
If I had listened to my mum, nothing would have gone wrong.
If I hadn’t been such a jackass, it wouldn’t be so bad.
And the list goes on, leaving me to think about the infinite possibilities of these scenarios. It also left me with a big headache and a whole truckload of worries. After all, thought is the enemy of action.
until the last tree is cut down,
and the last sea is dead,
and the last fish is caught,
will we realise that we,
cannot eat money.
