| Life thoughts of a Libra I am a Libra. When u make a decision, simple as between lying on bed or waking up, u are acquiring something and forgoing something. We all know, and we all accept it as a part of life. Life is a series of options. We choose this, and we forgo that; and these options make us who we are now and the coming future.
When i was young, back to the age when somehow i think war is kind of fun, i didnt pay much attention in choosing options. I just let it flow. Academic? Friends? Compeitions? Win or lose, right or wrong, so be it. I'm not saying i chose the wrong option, there's not a single wrong option in life, only experiences. I experienced things that result from laziness, arrogant, damn pity, such and such, but luckily, adolescent. I encounter someone who loved me, someone who treated me as their mentor, and above all, my heart was moved by some people. From time to time, I learn from mistakes and I grow to be a more conscious person. I start to question about ambiguity and abstracts. I dwell into the world of ethics - do the right things, do things right. I become a person with morals and responsibilities. I urge things to make sense. As a result i often regret of things i did and tried to get rid of my pride, wanted to turn back to people i hurt and say sorry to them. But u cant always find them, you cant always keep the chance in your pocket, they slip away, thats how life is, thats how regret lies beneath the deepest of yours and stay there, like a scar reminding u wt silly thing u had done and could never take it back. When we grow up we become more careful to options. Because we realize taking an option may mean to forgo something that we really care of and we want to make sure the cost is made lowest. By doing it, sometimes we tend to choose things we not-so-satisfied because we find safety from the low cost. Not-costing-much brings us some joy. We start get used to taking low-cost options, though they are actually not wt we want. And it's very late for us to turn back when we find out that, this style of living actually has the highest cost of all --- happiness, adolescent, and dream. Therefore i become extremely cautious in options. In every situations, I put myself into 30 years later of now and think if i'd regret doing it or not doing it. Most of the time it works. I utilize my time in games, gatherings and i put them into my works. I feel satisfied with myself. Continuous dozing tells me i'm doing ok with my youth. But, challenge isnt ended yet. There are options that are very hard to weight, or even inappropriate to weight. You must ask how yourself feel, and it's hard when your feelings are not that exquisite anymore. They are covered by your cost-calculator. "I feel that i should take this option" work no more. Because u find out that it's not feeling, still just calculation. You ask your buddies, they calculate for you, in a different perspective and it works. Feel. Feel. Where is it. When u talk to a person u love and u hestitated and choose not to say it....... When u scare that u may not be the one who could bring true happiness and choose not to say it....... And u tell yourself with relief, "That's the best thing u should do" You then find that u are far away from feeling, from adolscent, and u pretend that u r happy becoz u did the best thing u should have done. But in fact u fucking dont. But in fact u fucking dont u idiot. So should u bring this regret along 30 years and together into the grave and write a book telling the story to your kids? Go losers. If u feel happy. |
