hmm...starting my personal thoughts seesions once again after being freed from all kinds of other mental acrobatics (i.e. school). kind of an old thought, cos i've always felt that it's such a tragic flaw in Man to not be able to treasure for what they already have, and yet it is so inevitable. Going with the evolutionary way of thinking, we can attribute our existence to the fact that our ancestors were those that constantly strived to improve and, in essence, to survive. Thus, through the process of natural selection, only these kind of people survive and produce offspring. Yeah, i know it's a ridiculously simple and naive way of looking at it, but you can't help but find that there's some truth in this theory. Putting aside the caveman era of survival, it's quite apparent that, in our modern urban world, the societal pressure is on moving onwards. If it's anything, we are increasingly being stressed into pressing for short-sighted gains. hmm...looks like i'm going the american way...blaming society and genes for everything eh? haha...yeah...have to recognise that, in the end, it's all down to ourselves... yup...i know myself too...many a times i'm at a quandary as to what to do. Find myself seeking meaningless stuff all the time, sometimes even looking focus as to why i'm trying so hard. However, the wasted effort really doesn't matter much when i compare it with what i've missed. What blessings He has placed before my very eyes but i do not see. How i've screwed up opportunities and missed the moment. BUT...it's pointless to live a life of regret...learn from my mistakes and go forth not to repeat it again...that's the way it should be done..that's the way to make the most of the harsh lesson..just wish that i'd have learnt the lesson well enough though...doesn't seem like it right now...still torn at how to view my life and what steps to take. Guess i'm not seeking God's Will enough, not letting the Holy Spirit's soft promptings lead me... well..the holidays will present an opportunity for me to just give myself some time to sort out my thoughts. hopefully, i don't waste this God-given time doing meaningless stuff...
