The other night I was thinking a lot about life and existence in general (yes, this is what happens to me when I cant sleep) and while I was lying in my bed trying to count sheep, I wrote down some thoughts and ideas that seemed right to me about... well, life.
~As humans we are faced with many events, some unpredictable, some seen coming eons in advance. Our reactions to these events are based on how we learned to react to these happenings throughout our lives.
~But a lot of the happenings in this world are only natural to our universe, and therefore do not require an influx of emotion. Therefore, all happenings in this world are of a neutral origin, and should not be considered to be anything but.
~One's reaction to an event is based off of past events and one's outlook on life. Therefore, it should not be unusual for us to think that someone might look positively on a war or a murder, and alternatively that a marriage or winning the lottery might be negative.
~Through our own life experiences, we begin to form our own opinions on life based on what we have learned from others and what we determine ourselves. So every person's view of the world is unique; it's what doesn't kill us that makes us who we are.
~Life is full of uncertainties, and therefore, a lot can be disrupted or ruined if one is to live according to what they think might be certain. Therefore, it is better that we as humans live for the uncertainty of life and not exist in our own fantasies or expectations. Do not reject what is handed to you or look at the glass half empty. Take everything with a grain of salt, as always, but rather than brood, look for the hope, and try to imagine the glass half full. You'll be surprised how far this will take you.
