Value of Life

Past couple of days have been all about watching tv and listening to music just to do something... Just to past time... Something to do... Aside from renting movies and playing games... The only thing good bout weekend is the abscence of school... Actually, not the abscence of school... but the presence of sleep...Since I have been up to basically nothing, i'll try to redeem myself through my unstable thoughts and ferociuos words...

Well.... watching this movie "Weather Man"... got me really thinking about life again... It got me thinking about not only the meaning of life but life itself... Got me thinking about Where will life lead us to... Who are we in life and most of all.... The value of life... Destiny and fate is how some people answer the question where... I, for one, do not believe in feng shui or destiny or any of those mambo-jamboo.... It might be entertaining at moments of absolute disinterest... but thats as far as it goes.... the line is firmly drawn right there... these superstitions are, to me, no more than shere amusement.... God holds all our life in the palm of his hands... We are created by Him, we live by His rules and most of all, we live through Him... As for the question who we are in life... That is pretty simple through my eyes actually.... Life is an instrument... We use it the way we feel fit... No matter how many lesson you take, that instrument remains an instrument of mere will... You are who you want to be... Influencial factors such as God or parents, family or friends can only guide you, the rest is up to you... a man has got to do what a man's got to do...

However, when the pages turn to the value of life... It leaves a man wondering... In every man's life, there comes a question where no man is qualified to answer... What is the value of life... Life, to some people, might not mean much.... but to the rest of us, life is a chapter of dominance, an issue of superiority , a title by itself supreme, a topic worthy of time... Life can't be judged by a jury or by a supreme court... No man is worthy of answering this question... If a companion is dying of a certain heart disease, is it really our choice to transfer our hearts to the companion... If a remorseful teenager is pregnant, is it really her choice to conduct abortion... If a persons life is deranged with only tragedies and adversities, mishaps and hardships, calamities and afflictions, is it his/her choice to take away an item (if one may say) of such sacramental and unprofaned... Life... the mere thought of stealing life from its body is a defamation itself... It disgraces, devalues and diminishes the shere splendor and granduer of the word Life... It annihilates all thats left of one's virtues... one's dignity ... one's serenity...

Quotes:
A life without cause is a life without effect.
Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.
Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.
