Irony of Life

As we wake up every morning, we make decisions. The making of our days depends on the decisions we choose. Sometimes, we say, "Oh, what the... I won't let this freaking thing ruin my day!" or "Thanks for making my day. Don't worry. I'm being sarcastic".

As we go to school, we are taught of "academics", when in the real world, what we need is "practicality". What we need are money, diligence, and motivation.

As we save relationships, friendly or not, we are asked to tell the truth, but at times, what we need is to lie, white or not. We are left with no choices, or so we think.

As we live each day, we are told to be brave, but during the inevitable moments, we have to give way. We must put the welfare of others in front of us.

As we share experiences, we brand them as our friends' or other people's, when in fact, those are really ours. We are too afraid to tell things about our own.

As we enjoy ourselves, we laugh out loud, when in truth, we die in agony. We smile at our pains, we laugh at others aches.

As we fall in love, we deny, when in exactness, we would love to shout our feelings out loud. We are scared of being rejected because we know, admittance would only ruin us.

As we deal with other people's love affair, we act as the bridge, when what we really wanted is to be bridged. We hurt ourselves too much.

Now, my question is, do you get my point? That WE make the Irony of Life?

At The End of the Road

"Life is a script. Act it. Adlib it."

We all have our own paths to take. We all have different directions. We all have maps to guide us where to go. But despite of all that we have, we are still to go in one destination.

Our lives start from the meeting of our parents, to their being acquainted, to their getting-to-know-each-other, to their being friends, to their being lovers, to their getting-stronger, to their being married, to their being physically one.

After our dear parents complete this process, we are conceived. We stay in our mothers wombs for approximately nine months, some leave sooner or later though.

We step out in this world, and we learn the dynamics of living each day. 

We are bathed. We are dressed. We are fed. We are sent to school. We are even taught academically, but irony of life is forever in our every step... we do not meet those academic elements in the real world.

What we need to survive is practicality. It's the only thing we are to consider, aside from love and intelligence.

You cannot report one plus one in show business. You cannot predict weather by knowing which spoon to use in proper dining. You cannot build a house if all you have are mere measurements.

You cannot and will not achieve anything if you would just sit there and watch the world spin around in its own.

Remember, life is a journey. Life is all about how you lived it while you were still breathing. It's all about doing what is morally right and learning lessons and values after every mistake.

But above all this, there is one thing that you and I have in similar. Death. The only destination that is so inevitable to go.

Death. That's the end of your journey. That's the end of your road.
