Some people go to the extreme ends of the world in search of the treasured. Only to come home and realise it is a only foot away from them.
i dun even noe wat i'm supposed to b searchin for.. in dis case, m i less forunate than them? or more fortunate, since i nv knew wat i wuz missin n thus wun b hurt by e knowledge?
bro wuz quotin some of e stuff i used to tell him back in e days wen i dun feel like i'm stupid to ask such qns. i asked him "Why do we have to study? Study so much also have to die. Die with or without knowledge also the same. So why study?"
he said, "Because if we study hard, we can get a good job, earn a lot of money and lead a better and happier life."
but wat if we die after studying so hard and before we even got a job? What if we can't get a good job despite studying so hard?
he said he don't think he answered me then. Dismissed it as some sort of freak question that isn't worth his attention.
but now he writes dis in his latest blog entry: Reflecting upon that incident now, perhaps the reason that I did not answer that question is because I simply did not know a suitable answer to that. Now, many years after that incident, I also do want to know the answer to my sister's question. What are we studying so hard for? For knowledge? Or simply to get a good job and get good money? But is having a good educational qualification equal to a good job and good money? The correlation is lesser than what you perceive you know? Look at Bill Gates. He probably didn't even have as much knowledge of Physics and Chemistry than the average A level student. But the amount he makes in a day is that of what a professional might make in his whole lifetime. So what does that mean? What is the purpose of life? I mean what was our creator thinking when he breathed life onto us? What was he expecting us to do in our lives? Is life just a journey waiting for death? If so, what is the purpose of life? To wait for the end? Or the purpose of life is to make a better life for ourselves and others? Or what?
nv knew my qn wuz tt.. philosophical? *wink*
but noe wat? tho i dun ask dis qn anymore.. it's still ryt here in my head. i nv understood e logic. dey said e process is more impt than e result. but in my opinion, if e end is all e same, wat is e significance of e process? but of cos, it'll remain safely hidden since ple always tink i ve a prob weneva i ask such qns. like it's pointless to ask, like there's no cause to ask at all. n i've learnt betta than to let mom tink i'm such a rebel hu jus refuses to study hard n make her proud.
anw, i'm bac in hss lib! waiting for tt dumbo mktin tut tt i dun wanna attend. boy, i shld tink twice abt gettin a minor in biz. maybe in sociology.. e soc module i'm currently takin not bad, no tut even. haha but i'll see wen my results r out.
saw duani on e lift jus now! man i cant recognise her anymore.. look so dif, n guess wat? we're in e same sch! she's tkin econs, yet i've nv seen her ard til now.. wat a world..
man i've still got ard an hr til mktin! dumb!
