Had dinner/supper with 2 good friends of mine. One who brought me to know God, now whacked with life and tired. The other, a business owner, married and a happy father of 2, coming to 3.
I realized that life generally takes a toll on us. We live each day, thinking of a better tomorrow, but the routine of things just never gives us a renewed/recharged or greater ability to do more things. Instead, we feel emptied... day after day... a piece of me is taken away.
Soon, I will realize that I have given my best and there is nothing much I could do to improve the situation. I will fall back on my couch, think about nothing...that's the irony, and give myself excuses to justify my feelings. The feeling of indifference, also known as numbness.
I guess that's how God decided to ignite my passion. Mix me up with younger and people more energetic, pure-hearted and passionate. With their desires to be more cool, more driven to prove a point across, more rebellious, somehow deep within, I sense a fire lighting up. Bit-by-bit, but surely...
On a side note, I learnt something today;
Along the same line as 'life is unfair' and nothing in this world is fair... I realized that to have fun, especially in games, we ought not to play with the rules. Now, I must repeat, only in the name of fun and games.... why? because only when we do not play by the rules that a game becomes more passionate, filled with feelings, and exciting! The sense of danger, adventure and especially uncertainty, are what makes such activities so 'forth-coming'...
Having said that, we never should compromise on integrity in real-life. Therefore, a thought to consider... should living in real-life be compared to 'games'?
