I came across this blog that questioned our reason to live. The person argued that why should we live if we die in the end anyway. I just wanna measure out the pros and cons of living. I'm dead sure this person has no idea who I am, but heck. Sometimes we need to reset our motives and values, like how in a floorball game the defender resets the game behind the goalpost if the opponent's not playing to our speed. Nothing wrong with that.

Pros of living
You get to experience life. You learn new things everyday, learn how to eat, drink, sleep, love. You endure pain and humiliation and it makes you a better and stronger person. You learn endurance, humility, virtue. You experience what its like to do simple everyday things like breathing and talking, nodding your head in agreement or hearing your tummy growl in hunger. You get to feel the soft, smooth texture of silk, and the warmth of a hug. The fuzzy feeling when you see someone special walk by. You get to hear the rustling of the wind through the window. You understand what it's like to have friends and be one. You learn about teamwork, through sports and games, even simple chores such as shifting tables from one end of the hall to another. You see how high a person can get when doing something they really love. You learn to be organized and neat. You see what its like to have faith in someone and see that person excel. You get to breed and bring up your children whom you'll be so proud of when they accomplish something.

(I won't touch religious issues here, for the benefit of others.)

Cons of living
You miss out on the above-mentioned activities and you basically don't exist on the face of the earth.

The one thing that got me thinking is that how can a person question something so precious to all of us. I'm sure she'll be regretting what she said if someone near and dear (possibly her boyfriend) was on his deathbed fighting for life. Notice the sudden watershed here? If no one is in any danger of losing his/her life, it is ok to question our motives of living. But when someone held near to our hearts is in danger of losing their lives aka dying, BAM, pleas to save his/her life comes in, and the motives suddenly become clear. Why is there even the need to question these motives? If you know that we're gonna die anyway, make the best of the time you have now. Why waste it brooding over how you're gonna die and whatnot. The very fact you question these motives suggest that you are one girl who has your priorities completely mashed up. You suicidal or something? Be thankful with what you have; at least you don't have to fight in an ICU for your life.

So please, next time you wanna question your reasons to live, remember one thing; there are millions of other people who would want your life to save someone they love, instead of wasting it on you brooding on whether to live or not.

Well, that's done. I kinda miss GP somehow. And I can't believe I just said that. I hope I didn't offend anyone. Those are my views and if you disagree with them, you are entitled to do so (: Like Mr.Norman Chua said (God bless him), "Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one."

We're getting our results next week. I'm shit scared, I really hope I get promoted. I mugged my ass off for promos. It'd better be at least passable. I don't wanna end up in Miss.Lai's office begging her to promote me. I'm like the last person on her list to promote. The sad cases of appeal students in MJ. Hai. If only. If only. I hope she leaves school soon. The new principal may allow us to use the hall for floorball trainings now instead of resorting to TSH or Valhall.

I'm reading again, THANK GOD. I kinda like my new blogskin. Haha, Fana claims its too girly for me. Ah well. To those undergoing exams, GOOD LUCK. To those getting results, EVEN MORE GOOD LUCK. To those still holidaying, TO HELL WITH YOU! Kidding, haha. Enjoy them while they last.

I'll blog about open house another time. With pictures I guess. Chaos!
