on the border of philosophising.

I suppose the closure of prelim has successfully carved out an aqueduct for my creative juices to flow again; since I can afford some time to luxuriate in my musing and exercise a portion of catharsis.

I have engaged myself in deep cognitive sessions for the past few days, replacing my short hiatus from books for the bipolar strife of reasoning and reputing - all these hype for my attempt on deriving at a suitable definition of life.

I wouldn't deny that my definition is still in the process of undergoing refinement, but as of now, I will write about the thoughts generated thus far. When I receive new revelations - coupled with the right mood and inclinations - I will write again.

I believe life takes on an undulating form; akin to the ebbing of the waves. Needless to say, there is bound to be successive crests and troughs - very much in correspondence with life. Life is capable in taking on different permutations; a moment ago one may be all gleeful, but the next moment nauseatingly suicidal.
The next time u visit the beach, do observe the ebbing of the waves; the transition of high tide to low is often unpredictable and catches you off-guard.

I observed, and found it to be surrealistically interlinked with life. The unpredictability of life has thrust me into a mental imbroglio - one from the metaphysical realm. What exactly is life to me? I have read this phrase somewhere before, and I reckon it best represents what I am thinking.

To live and to let live.

To live-
First and foremost, one must live a life free from the vice-liked grips of Regret. This is a common killer which has gone scot-free since the beginning of time. It is time to eliminate this adversary with the fiery bat of courage before it gets detrimental and plague the generation to come.
haha, I am making it sound a tad too superlative.

'If only I studied harder. If only I controlled myself. If only.. if only..'

We often spend half of our time whining about issues that we could have averted. if only we took practical solutions to curb it..

Next, live a fulfilling life. Enjoy what you do, and do what you enjoy. If clubbing makes u feeling purposeful, club. If building up god's kingdom opens up the joy-door to your life, build. If studying gives u fulfilment, study.

Whatever you choose to do, do not let monotony creep in and suffocate, or blind u from having the life you could have. Be no deserter, soldier on in times of adversity and u will emerge the victor of your crusade.

To let live-
Your life far exceeds the boundary of me, myself and I. What a warped world it would have been if people tenaciously held on to this facade - the acme of selfishness. To me, one has to do life together with others, only then will one advance towards the creme-de-la-creme of life.
Lead people out of the alley of darkness and into the blissful horizon - lustrous and scintillated. It is always good to shed positive influence and see people around being metamorphosed.
I feel it is also imperative for one to have a close circle of friends, to impact, and be impacted.

Twenty years from now, it doesn't matter which profession we are in, what cars we drive, or the spouses we have, but it is the small and seemingly insignificant acts that will remain etched in our inmost depths.

The little gestures do matter; breathing life into others is no feat. I love you all my friends.
So, live and let live people.
Have a blessed weekend.

*I will write about some of the events/gatherings on my next entry.
