People say that with every new life comes a death, a form of balance that mother nature has created for itself. Yet how does new life gratify the need for death to claim a member of one’s family, a new life that may be unknown, a new life that may be wasted and not appreciated in future. Even though death will eventually take it’s place, must it come knocking by the door with so much hurt, such tremendous pain that it can cause to an individual and family, is it every fair? To live a day counting on to how many days that may be left, why cant those last days be glorious, beautiful, pretty in a sense that mind and body can function as one, performing menial task that we take for granted. Magnificent in a way how complex our body is, and yet how it in turn fails in all complexity, like dominos toppling one after another, forming an artistic image or more of a mess. In heaps or in scraps, these individual dominos will still carry an image that represent a part of life, dominos that can be kept, in the mind or in the soul, dominos that one can reflect upon. Before all dominos fall, hopefully those impacts from individual falls can be cushioned, and capture all thats left, in peace. Just in peace, I will let go.

An emotion, an instinct, a trigger, a killer. The beads of perspiration that may form on your forehead, the chill up your spine, the uncontrollable shaking of your legs or the source of your tears, fear revolves around and enters our lives from time to time. So what is the primal form of fear? Probably fear itself? Sometimes life can be so monotonous that there is nothing to fear but fear itself, and the only thing to fear is fear knocking on your front door itself. Imagine the tremendous comfort of feeling no fear, and yet, we may owe our existence to fear itself. The fear of getting hurt that is already primarily responsible for keeping us alive. In some cases, fear itself can be a emotion that one can do surely do without, same goes for others like greed and desire. However, won’t one then transform into a non-living organism without it’s basic instinct, a robot, never fearing for it’s own life and probably won’t even know it’s terminated when it’s head is on the other side of the hall. If life was just a switchboard, where we can turn on the mechanisms of our body when we need it, like turn on the trait of focus and switch off the need to sleep during lessons. Unfortunately, this switchboard, no matter how advance will still never match up to our instincts. Yet, I already have so much to fear and fear itself, and my life may be this switchboard, where I could trade it away and hopefully go to a better place, with no fear.

How has the complexity of human life developed over the years? How much has our lives modernized? How much more time are we spending on our computers and studies daily? Just how much has our lives changed? Probably this is a question most people have struggled to answer, to find a reason for all that we have to go through today. Poverty, war, economic crisis and stress. Stress from work, from studies and from the existence of stress itself which causes stress. How much are we happier in today than in the past? A thought I had stumbled along in one of my essay assignments, a question that is very much a one hit punch from reality. Are we really happy? Does all these material possessions bring true happiness? So if we are really truly happy, does that mean that people of the past were living in misery. The development of mankind has been a far too uneven one, from times where we hunt with sticks to just pressing a button today which can destroy a continent. From scribbling pictures on walls to leaving my impression of this world on this imaginable wall where everyone can access. Some people may say the life I have now is a simple life, where probably I only face teachers instead of politicians, bankers or lawyers, and so what? What does a complex life entail? A guaranteed life filled with wants that are satisfied? Basic wants which are already replaced with other wants that defeats the basic principles of life? The want for peace, tranquility, the origin of mankind which began on the ground. Much has changed today where our basic wants may be met with so many obstacles, where getting a meal requires some sort of currency or benefit in return. Where having a respectable life equals to a few pieces of paper and an excuse for getting up early every morning also known as a job. If our lives has been simpler, where everyone is equal, where getting a meal will not cost you anything to return. Not much so of a communist method of living, but just a simpler life, where people get more chance to be like people, the basic need of meeting other people. Knowing other individuals, finding suitable partners or good friends without the need of conflicts. The fact that this post appears here already falsify all the necessity and needs of a simpler life, where one post here that can be read by so many others also in turn causes much trouble by creating more thoughts. Yet how did we get to what we are today? If Einstein did not exist would we be so interested in Science? If countries didn’t have presidents would there be a cause for so many individual perceptions of how this world should be like? Can one man make the difference. If the current and the future is to be left in the hands of fate, probably we would crumble, get reduced back to where we were in caves, but this world made up of more than six billion people, nothing and nobody is pretty much alone. Yet, what if we were to be alone?

Sample WR in hand, mind in a mess, eyes in a blur, notes scattered across the desk, random pages of words, arrows pointing to questions, questions to answer on the screen. Cursor, flashing on and off.

Had a day off today since it was National Day yesterday and managed to catch UP! Was actually really impressed with the show, all the drawing, the plot of the story which was pretty touching and meaningful, something rare in cartoons or animations these days. Sends across a strong message too, the message about the power of family and love, being over-powering and motivational at the same time. Not to mention that UP comes with a great movie soundtrack too, pretty inspiring for me actually. A movie anyone can enjoy watching, so do grab a seat at a cinema someday yea! School starts tomorrow, back to dragging my feat across the asphalt rhythmically towards school, a poor excuse of an education. Time to head for the bed soon, before my head heads for the table in class tomorrow.

Pushed to the very edge, with no where else to go. Probably left with just a jump, which I can take to close my eyes forever.
