I've looked back on previous posts. Some make me smile, but some make me want to cry. If only life is as easy as it seemed to be back then. Things have really changed. Mistake after mistake, I've finally come to the point where I'm the most pessimistic and cynical about life. But education is part and parcel of it. I could've chose to ignore truths. But no matter how far you run, life lessons always manage to catch up with you and effectively slam the brutal truth in your face, making you realise the true nature of your circumstances. Running away, I've realise, is one of the easiest way out, but also one of the most cowardly. Yet only the strong-willed can survive under so much pressure. Frankly speaking, if I am not that afraid of pain, I would have most probably taken a knife and slit my wrists. Fear is your worst enemy, yet it controls you. I believe (no matter how most people like to deny this) that no man or woman is above fear. But, in a way, it controls you to a certain extent, before it eventually engulfs you and insanity follows. Let's face it- life is hard. And in the fast-paced 21st century, it's survival of the fittest, just like Darwin predicted it would be. P.S.: My reference to Charles Darwin and his evolution theory DOES NOT mean that I am claiming the humans DEFINITELY came from monkeys (although that is what scientist claim is true, nowadays). Go ahead and believe what you want, no one's stopping you. |
