Mystery Of Life Part 3

Hi, it’s been a while.

Well last week my cousin from Malaysia came. On the 3rd last day he was in S’pore, we went down stairs to the swimming pool and drank some wine, sat down on the table and talked stuff. As we talked, i looked at the sky, it was dark about 12mn. There were stars too, it was nice. Then a thought came to mind – Why do we prejudice or stereotype things?

Why do majority of us say that dark is bad and light is good? Why can’t it be the other way around? Come to think about it, if there was no darkness, we could not sleep or we would fry and get cancer due to the sun. Therefore, darkness is good right? Light too, too much is bad.

We too add to these never-ending questions of life. Why do we pretend or act to be someone else? It’s like making a layer, a coating of ourselves, changing personalities, images. I know because I do too. Come to say, I have 2 outer layers of me, The "good boy" and the "dark one" Well actually the real me is very wild but due to society, we are not able to project our real selves. We encapsulate our feelings. Sometimes it’s hard to realise or remember the real person in ourselves. We forget. Some people might dress different or act different but it doesn’t mean that it’s who they really are. For me i think that the image does not make the man.

Life, why? All the time i spend here, what is my purpose? Is my purpose here to live and wonder? Or is it that time plays an important role in this. As time goes by, I collect a small fragment of a fragmented answer to my question. Time, what is time for? Is it an element by which we can tell what to do next? Time has some purposes. Maybe the ones mentioned above, maybe to make us rethink about previous events? Maybe to think about what will happen next or maybe to keep track of what we are doing. I just want to know.
