What About Life

I just watched Seven Pounds and Knowing recently and it really got me thinking about life. What is the purpose of us living? Why is it that so many people go through life without really knowing why they are doing it? Is it because we are creatures of habit just going through the motion? Or are we doing it coz everyone else is doing it?

So many people I know do not believe in an after life and don't really know why they are here. They believe they are here to live and to die. That's all. The End. But isn't it sad to think that that is all there is to life? It this is the case we all might as well not do anything and wait to die right? What's the point of studying hard and getting a job if we are not even going to bring it with us when we die? It's all so temporary.

I believe our life is just a really small part of eternity. And I also believe that there is a place we will go when we die and we will live there forever. I used to think I knew where I would end up and I was so certain about it but now I'm not really sure where I'm gonna end up at and this scares me.

Watching those movies really make me start to think about the way I am looking at things. I realised that I have strayed so far from what I used to believe in without even noticing it. I've let time slip away just like that. Once it's gone it's never going to come back. *Sigh*

No point looking at the past and regretting not doing this and that. I have to move on and change things the way they are so that it will be better.. :)

hey kar jeh! very nice post!

I like this part -

" I realised that I have strayed so far from what I used to believe in without even noticing it. I've let time slip away just like that. Once it's gone it's never going to come back. " and " *Sigh* "

Sometimes, just let bygones be bygones. Cheer up sis. Exam is just around the corner. =)
