Blast From The Past

I think this is almost the third time I am thinking of the same title. I remember when I was young and happy and carefree, It was a joy to skip around and not know what awaited me when I grew up. Just lived my life and went by innocently. Now I am all grown up and I look at all the happy children and I get a sadist's moment... "gosh! you don't really know what awaits you..."



But then as I go about my daily business , I meet my friends, and colleagues, I make new friends, I change my hairstyle and 6 days out of a week, I am A-okay, nothing to fear apart from being mad at someone for not being the perfectionist you are. And then it brings this question to mind...does knowing the future, not predicting it, but knowing what will happen really help.



I mean, some of us have deep founded faith in God, others are atheists and other believe in the church of the flying monster...YES...it exists. I know that religion is a very sensitive subject so I will go back to my question and have an illustration. What does it help for a woman dying with cancer to know that she will die tomorrow? In my opinion, it makes me think that it will give her a chance to do the one thing she had wanted to do for such a long time and now that she has one more day she will do it. Another question arises, will she do it for fun or from the pressure that she is dying and she had promised herself to do it.

Then again, if you don't tell her she is dying and she continues to live in the hope that she will be cured and will have five more days...what is the harm in that? Well, I don't have a definite answer, and though I might have plans for next week, I still live for what tomorrow brings.

They (people) say it is fate, or destiny, God or Satan, whichever way it is, at the end of the day, it is your personal decision and your personal choice. We were all given something called "fee will" to choose what we feel is right. We can choose according to the society's stereotypes, the teachings our parents have given us, our teachings in our places of worship and sometimes let people influence us on what we believe in. Whichever way "we" YOU want what you want, when you want and how you want. It all lies with you.


Love it, hate it, regret it, enjoy it, YOU did it!!!!
