Life - Interesting or Unpredictable?

Imagine this question posted at you. Yes, you. Think bout it properly... Now, what will your ultimate answer be? Is life interesting or unpredictable? Given only these two choices, what will your answer be if you were asked to give a definite answer? Can you give one? You can?? Tell me, how did you come to that conclusion (post in comments...). With that said and done, kindly scroll down, read on and tell me if you agree with what I have to say as my point of view.

Given that choice of answers. I would be dumb-founded and definitely won't be able to give an ultimate answer. This is simply because, life is both interesting and unpredicatable. It's interesting because its unpredicatble and its unpredicatbility makes it interesting. Sounds rather confusing huh? Its simple actually. Life that has been planned out well and all, won't be life. LIFE stands for Life Is For Enjoyment. Imagine a situation where you already know what's gonna happen next. Can you then possible enjoy that moment when it really comes? You'll be expecting it and when it comes, no more surprises, no suspense, no nothing. Long story short, it becomes pure dull.

In addition, LIFE is short. Yes, many people come up to me and say, 'Yeah, life is short. Does that mean we can do everything and anything like there's no tomorrow? Does that mean that we can live life like we are gonna die the next minute?' Well, my answer to them would be, YES and NO. Yes, because we do not know what's gonna happen next in life. It is undeniable that even as I am typing this blog out, I could possibly not have the chance to post it. As we walk our everyday life performing things that we go out to do, we are exposed to so many dangers and uncertainties that may arise anytime of the day.

Sounds convincing huh? Well, hold your horses as here comes the NO part. No is because as much as fate is an essential aspect of our lifes, it does dictate the way we should be, what we should be doing and also how we should be doing it. We lead our own life and what we are in this life, depends what we do and how we do it. This has got nothing to do with fate that has been pre-determined. We can change what we are and what we have. The theory is very simple, as mentioned by my good buddy, Dinesh, "If you were fated to be a gardener for the rest of your life, are you gonna let it be that way or are you gonna change it?". Well, it just shows that as much as life may be fated in a way, we are the ones who have power over our lifes and we control them, therefore, we shape our lifes into what we want them to be.

So, should we then lead life like there's no tomorrow or lead life like we are to live forever and we have all the time in the world to enjoy? Well, we have to always have balance here. This leads me back to my original question. Is life interesting or unpredictable? I guess its the way we lead our lifes that makes it interesting, which means that at times we should really live our lifes like there's no tomorrow. I mean, what's the meaning of life if we are not here to enjoy it? We should make everyday of our life as interesting as the one before and plan for a more interesting on ahead. The part of life being unpredictable means that we should maintain our lifestyle and make sure that we save some for the days to come. We can never be sure of what's gonna happen next, can we?

I guess what I am really trying to say here is this. Life being so interesting and unpredictable has much to offer us. We can never understand life's real intentions until the day we near our time. We live life day by day thinking that something good or bad will happen and most of the times, it just turns out the other way round and we are left with nothing much to say. We just cant expect much nor less. It comes to us as a surprise at times and leaves without leaving a note. These are things in life that we look out for, either for good or bad.

Therefore, we should really cherish what we have now. Its no point going back one day saying, 'I should, I would and I could have'. It makes no difference by that time. What's left then is pure memories and nothing else. Memories are only meant to be kept and there's nothing we can do to revive those memories.

Well, life has much to offer. All its unpredictability makes it all the interesting. We shouldn't be wasting time thinking of things that we are not even sure of. Thinking about what's gonna happen tomorrow when we haven even passed today. Thinking about what's gonna happen to someone else, when we cant even be sure of what's gonna happen to ourselves. We should let life move on as it should and we should just play along. Lead life as it is. Though the many challenges it may bring, these are just interesting parcels of life that we have to endure. Who said everything was easy? If everything was so easy, I wouldnt have to crack my head thinking bout my exams, which will strike me in exactly two weeks time. God will help those who help themselves. Well, I sure do hope God can first help me to help myself. Hahahaha...

I guess all said and done. Life is both interesting and unpredictable. So, never give up on life. Even if we are on the verge of breaking down, hold our heads up strong and move on with life.

"We will never have anything to lose, only everything to gain."

Well, I guess I will have to continue my life then. Got so many other things to do. Revision is one the many important things I have to focus on now. Hope to make it through my exams. I wouldnt wanna disappoint my loved ones who have all the confidence in me, especially my 'special one'.

As the saying goes, 'We live only once. Lets live life.'

Living life,
