Hey.
Honestly, life's been repeating itself, day by day.
I do almost the same things every day.
Watch the same shows (though not necessarily the same episodes).
Do the same chores.
Sleep and wake up at the same time.
And some other things that I can't actually remember.
I don't know if that's a bad thing, though.
Sometimes, change can be a bad thing.
Like, a change from bad to worse.
Or from good to bad.
But that's all "cup half-empty" talk.
On the other hand, change might prove to be good.
Like, from good to better.
From better to best.
I'm not actually trying to transcend any sort of message through these words.
It's just that, maybe I'd like a little change in my life.
Maybe, just the slightest difference in my life could prove to be the turning point of my own destiny.
It's funny, though, how destiny or fate works.
Does the outcome of life depend on our own decision?
Or has it all been written already by powers that surpass ours?
I'm not at all implying anything against any religion whatsoever.
It's merely, a thought.
I'll give you a situation.
It'll be a long read so I hope you're prepared.
A teenager at the age of 12 received an offer to school at a boarding school, SMKA. It was in 2004. He chose not to go. He chose to stay with his remaining friends, his family and his normal, every day life in a place we'll call MR. Over the years he bonded with his friends in MR, creating a special bond that he thought was meant to be. At the age of 17, he came up with a question: "Would everything have been the same if I left?". It was mind boggling. Some people would say of course it would be different. In fact, nothing would have been the same should he had left for the SMKA. He would not have spent those 5 years of secondary school with his remaining friends. He would have made new ones and bonded with them instead. Everything would have been different. However, here's where the concept of destiny and fate come in. If his destiny or fate was to be so close with his friends in MR now, then how would it have happened if he had left for SMKA? Wouldn't it be torturous just to spend time with his friends in MR? According to the concept of predetermined future, he would still have this special bond with his friends in MR no matter what he does.
But, logically, would that have been possible? He would miles away from his friends. He wouldn't have done the things he did if he were schooling in SMKA as he might have. He couldn't possibly make all those new friends he did and eventually become as close as brothers with them. His life would have changed at SMKA. He would have done different things, met different people, spoken different languages even. Even so, the fate that he had which was to have such close friends in MR at the end of 2009 was still there. So, I ask you this, would this teenager still have all his friends in MR even if he had gone to SMKA? Was it his decision to stay the key to him having all those friends, or was it already determined that his fate was already sealed from the start? You decide.
All in all, it could be that, maybe, our destiny isn't at all something that is achieved.
It's more of something that we go through.
We decide our destiny.
However, destiny itself means a future predetermined.
So how does it work?
Would "change" even bring difference to our future?
Would our decisions today bring various results tomorrow?
If we had our fate sealed, then wouldn't anything we do conger up the same outcome?
So, inevitably, we would still end up in the same place.
Therefore, good and bad decisions don't exist.
What exists is us carrying out our destiny.
You may be thinking that I blame destiny or fate for what I've done.
On the contrary, I never really think about those stuff.
I just wanted to write about because I like sharing ideas.
I like talking about weird and undiscussed subjects.
It is in my nature to open the minds of people so that it can attain more knowledge than it would have if it were left narrow.
I let imagination envelope my thoughts so that I can come up with new ideas to share with the world.
If being a daydreamer is such a crime, then I'd rather be sent behind bars than be stripped off my imagination.
I like what I do, I do what I like.
I don't care if everything has been determined.
It's my job to know what's been determined.
It's my duty to heed the call of destiny.
It's my sworn purpose to live the life assigned to me.
It's my life I'm living.
So I'll live it how I want.
And what I want is to live it like I'm alive.
