A matter of choice

As we born into this universe we’ve been given a present that we see when we open our eyes. This world is us, this universe is ours because we are the only one living conscious creature as long as we know it, that makes us the ruler of this universe. Too bad that we born to fast in the era where space travel isn’t supported by the current technology, we can’t prove there is some race better than us which is good at some point. As the pinnacle of the universe, we have a freedom to choose our own path, to rule our own life and reshape it in our own image. We have such power that is a fact but most of the human living on this planet doesn’t aware of that. They are enslaved by themselves, weakening their will and surrender to the universe, induced their mind with a phrase such as “go with the flow” or “God has planned everything for us” and it’s stupid. I’m not atheist, I believe in God in my own way but I think that God won’t give us a free will if He already planned everything for us. A human who thinks like that is just too weak or too lazy to change their own fate, to be the master of their own sea. If God has done everything for us, where is the fun in living?

Let’s count our gifts; we have time, space, mind, body, intelligence, emotion, another human, resources from earth, love, family, friends, and etc, name it. We could combine any of those gifts to shape and recreate our own world. We literally have unlimited possibilities of choice and enough energy to make it happen. We don’t have to follow a safer path or a comfortable way in which we have higher chance to live happily. The meaning of life is to understand it and experience it, not just to survive. The idea of money is so devastating, most people chasing for it and then just die. It’s not what we have but what we feel, it’s not what we can but what we must. When you die you don’t bring money to the afterlife and use it to buy some perks like extra big house or penthouse in heaven or more meeting time with God, maybe more guardian angel, I don’t know, maybe you could. Life is a bonus stage where we could experience how to be human how to feel both sadness and happiness, pain and joy, each wonder this world provide, to feel every sins and every virtue, to do things your gut told you, breath the air from the top of the mountain, set your feet on the bottom of the ocean, to touch the cloud, sing a song that makes you shake your head and body crazily, laugh with friends endlessly, and the most important thing is to love and being loved. Don’t lose our chance to experience all of it with working 8 hour or more a day doing the things you don’t like to buy things you don’t really need show it to people, get envy, work harder, buy more, and repeated just like that until you realize that all those things are pointless.

Wasting your time to do things you don’t like is wasting your potential. You could be more successful when you do things you even though you have less money in your account balance. If you use money as an indicator of success in life is a big mistake, perhaps you should use how many times do you laugh, how many times you smile or how big your contribution to the world. But life isn’t a counting game. Life is a life. Play it as you like it, It’s never happened twice as far as I know it.
