Some things I have learned through my journey

ON TIME...

Time is but water, slowly evaporating away as the sun passed through it like days passed through memories but unlike water, it won’t come back like rain.  Just like the trees swaying in the wind, people of this world expect us to sway towards the direction of the wind blowing. Try as we might we can never swim upstream for the weight of pressure and expectation weighs us down like water under the trenches in the abyss. How I wish it was not so. How I wish we could be like lightning, unpredictable, yet swift and sure to hit the goal regardless of distance or regardless of the strength of the goal, it is sure to hit. Yet it is not ruled by any direction, it could go in any direction yet still hit its goal.

Time is relative, yet also constant. Just like honey, it can be thickened or thinned, yet it always tastes sweet.

ON OUR FUTURE

Like the hundreds and thousands of sand in the ocean, you will never know where you would land in the near future. You might be in the deep successes of life, or live a simple shallow life along the coasts. It is inevitable that whatever the future may be, all will someday be one again with land…

ON LOVE and Beauty

Love can be the rose petals and the thorns, yet it can’t be only one or the other, for there is no love without pain, and there can’t be love without imperfection. For imperfection is beauty in itself. Symmetry in this world is too simple; imperfection makes it unique and special. The earth was not made to be symmetrical.

ON FEELINGS

Sadness makes us realize happiness and pain makes us taste joy. Warmth helped us to discover coldness and weariness makes us appreciate rest.

ON PEACE  

Peace can never be attained, for entropy is the rule of the greatest to the least. Disorder abounds in all, from the universe to the quarks. Yet, peace can be attained within our minds, whose myriads upon myriads of axons and dendrites work every millisecond to keep us alive. Ever wonder how that could be?

ON ANGER

Anger is like a worm, eating the insides of an apple. People don’t know that you have already become a hollow empty shell, devoid of happiness and life. Yet when you finally open up, all becomes clear.

ON LYING

Lying is like gears, once a gear is put in motion, all other gears move, until a gear is stuck with the truth. And thus the lie in the beginning also slowly comes to a halt.

ON WORK

The wheel of life has its ups and down, yet constantly it begins to become redundant, going through life’s never ending revolution. One should take a quick moment to change the wheel and renew it with life that lives for others.

ON BEING SPECIAL

Normal people follows the flow of water, good people pulls the normal ones, great people swim against the flow, exceptional people push great people to swim upstream.

A small drop of water in a pail does not make a big difference, but the longer it drops, the fuller the pail. One cannot fathom how large impact small things have until they are gone.

ON HAPPINESS

Sharing happiness with others is giving happiness to oneself.
