Hi.
I wanted to name this entry "Life is like a RPG", but decided not to, since it sounds like the title of my previous entry.
Sometimes, I feel that this blog is like a mistress to me. Why?
Because I only come to this blog when I am not playing chess/doing hw/sleeping/eating/etc, which is a very rare occurrence.
Come to think of it, most people have plenty of trivial pursuits in life, like baking cookies, getting picked up, getting drunk etc. However, it would be significantly rarer to find someone possessing a main focus on something, be it to live a happy life, excel in their career etc.
People constantly bemoan the fact that life 'sucks'. I will stop short of criticizing them, since I had belonged to the ranks of these unhappy people not too long ago. However, have these people ever ask themselves what is their purpose in life?
They have not. They sink deeper into the quagmire of self-pity, thinking that their bloody lives are without purpose, and 'that there is nothing for them to live for'. Remarkable idiocy.
If life gives you lemons, make some lemonade. Similarly, if life has no purpose, give it a purpose of your own. The path to the goal you choose may not be smooth, you may be lonely, you may fall down and cry, but do not give up. The presence of a goal other than procreation distinguishes us humans from mere animals.
