I usually sit at my bed and reflect about Tuesdays with Morrie. Lately, I’ve been thinking about it – it just kept stuck on my mind, a memorable book I thought. I’m reading halfway to the end of the book, but I was stunned by it – I can’t even remember thousands of food for thoughts that have been said by Morrie, his words were certain and life-changing.
What was life? Basically – with my sense of humor – I just say that it was long to be explained, but really, I have no idea what life is – except that it was made when our heart beats, we breathe in, and we live in this world. Nothing more.
Now – for me, I completely describe life as a gift from God. Morrie have faith in God, though he just describe life in his own words – which was good, cause if he didn’t – and he got passages from the Bible, it would make me sick and abort the reading of Albom’s book. Thank God he didn’t – I don’t really read the Bible. And I was not patient enough to read a Bible, though I know its stories cause I study in a catholic school. Life – is full of twists and turns, and I’m out of words. Just read my recent post about it – life and its ill-fated twin.
I don’t really have an idea of how would I describe such a massive topic – Life. It involves all of us, and I don’t know where to start. Even a book or an encyclopedia don’t have much words to say about life, and they were describing it literally. Life is opinionated, based on people’s outlooks.
But my life seems to be hectic, busy. Lately, from Friday up to Sunday – I’ve been going to school back and forth. It was like my home, I go there for the Glee Club performances, and I’m tired of it. Singing songs the choral way is nice, but sometimes I just can’t think about myself doing all these things – habitually. I was like a record tape which plays and rewinds over and over again – you know what I mean. An everyday habit is boring, though we find something new, it still needs a push – an effort or something enjoyable.
Life is a rubber band, like what Morrie said, tension between two forces – good and bad. People live either of the two sides, but what’s hard on it is living between the two. It could also be the side where your life drives you and the side where you love to do. Destiny versus Want – combatting destiny isn’t a joke, though some people have triumphed over it. It wasn’t easy as killing a Poring in Ragnarok, or just in our own world – fighting yourself. Haha, not literally speaking – but figuratively speaking. It’s hard to struggle your own, it’s like punching your own face, hurting your own self – or commiting suicide.
But when you are between it, you would feel the weight of the world upon your shoulders, the burden of life, the aging problems of life that makes your eyebags sag and your wrinkles appear. Between these two forces was like between a magnet, attract or repel. It’s either you are repelled or attracted, either of the two.
Life’s not a joke, don’t make fun of it. If ever you are a complete joker – take life earnestly. Life had formed your past, made your present and builds your future. Choose your life as what you want, don’t follow the regular patterns – Do your own life.
