Life?
Life is hopeless...
Life is just boring...
Life sucks!!!
But the most frequent one goes to:
Life doesn't go the way I want...
So, what is life actually?
Life is an adventure.
We don't live for a big goal.
We live to move the never-ending boulders obstructing our path.
Gaining knowledge, power and courage doing so.
In life, the most countered obstacles are mostly small ones.
Take this as an example:
"This morning, I woke up, only to find my toothpaste missing. Not knowing what to do, I screamed the house down, till my mother came walking, used to such hot-temperedness. Getting what I wanted, I finished off everything, and went to school. During English period, I forgot to bring my textbook. I felt my eyes begin to water, and it came. Nobody bothered me, instead, they laughed! The teacher even sentenced me to a period's detention in the diciplinary room. Oh, how I wanted to kill that teacher... Next was recess. I went to the canteen, and I saw my favorite bowl of laksa. It was the last bowl! I went there, and it was snatched! I was so angry, I punched him in the face. The soup splattered all over him, and he had to be hospitalized. Well, I don't care, but I couldn't get my soup... I was sent to the diciplinary room again, and my parents came to school. I was suspended from school, and my girlfriend dumped me for being such a jerk..."
And there you have it. One of the most annoying people in the world.
But that's not the important part.
Look at how he reacted to some situations.
Yes, that is overreacting, but the obstacles he faced! So small, and yet he thinks the sky is falling!
By trying to hit the boulder instead to devise a plan to move it aside, he hurt his hands and legs by doing so.
Have you ever thought of that?
This mentality made the person who experienced the previous incidents think that life 'sucks'.
So life is just about moving boulders aside?
Well, boredom would have killed us by then.
No, we don't just do that, we also have fun!
Playing computer games, reading a novel, or simply just resting, is a form of lesiure or fun.
So remember, especially to those textbook-worms:
'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'
'Arrgh! I can't move the boulder aside!'
Liverpool's motto has just answered your problem.
'YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE'
What are we without friends?
We are an island.
'No man is an island'
'We are archipelagos, ready to survive the storm'
Remember, other than parents, friends are your only companion.
Friends are the only ones that you can talk to without any hesitation.
Friends are the only ones you can talk to without any worries.
Good friends are rubbish bins, ready to open up for any garbage you're going to throw in.
Bad friends are...
Remember, anything worse that best friends are just nothing.
Don't waste time on them.
Now here comed the topic you've always been waiting for:
Love.
While destroying obstacles, you may find one or two wine bottles on the road.
Puppy love works the same way.
You drink it, and you become happy, and eventually get drunk.
Later, you won't even notice a boulder rolling down the hill.
But love, oh love is different.
Love is finding a partner to lean on, and to be with you for ther rest of your life.
To marry, get kids, and make sure they continue your tradition of destroying boulders.
There are many more things in life, but it is not easy to say them all.
So, I shall finish off life's definition in one strong word.
One word, that can accurately mean life.
'Experience'
