Walk...stop...or walk...

Walk...stop...or walk...

I once saw a title of a graduation book with a title similar to this...it made me think back then...but now...I think I am starting to understand it a bit more...

Dun worry...this time I'm not whining...I'm just expressing my opinions...

Life is a cycle...full of repetitions...over and over again...u hardly know whether u r doing the right thing or not...sometimes u r...n u continue with similar intensity...n one day u realise u r numb....u r used to it...that's when u realised that u havent been moving afterall...u were merely walking in circles... u stopped movin forward....life is sometimes like climbing a hill...if u think goin up pressing at the accelerator...say its 60km/h now...but the higher u go....the steeper it is...n sooner or later that speed is not enough for u to ascend that fast anymore....worst still...u start goin down hill...cos u ran out of fuel...all the way to this abysmal...u cant break ur car....ur car runs wild...u disappear....into darkness...into nothingness......

Sometimes, u start off doing the wrong things anyway... u screwed up...u continue to do things in a nagative way...cos its even harder for someone to escape from vicious cycles...just when u thought u can break loose from them...the past comes back and haunt u again...how cruel...its like once a train goes off track,its hardly possible to get it back on track yea...worst still...it may tumble over...everyone in there injured or dies....

So whats, with this walkin thing?
Well sometimes in life we continually walk...we take different paths...literally u can say....I went to UK...or someone remains local....someone goes to somewhere physically away...or u can say its a decision....that one makes or chooses....sometimes u r like a traveller...an explorer navigating into the seas of unknown...one mistake may b fatal...one misfortune or natural disaster may just get u killed,amputated or scarred for life!And like an adventurous(or perhaps not so adventurous) u try to find the best way or the fastest way or watever it is that u r aiming for u travel n u need to make decisions on which path to take as each path leads to different paths....paths which sometimes may not even meet ever again...anyone who has read the poem "the road not taken" should clearly understood what I meant there...n juz like that sometimes u juz stop by along the journey of ur life,lookin back,reflecting on the past...reminscing memories of the past..what could hav happened "IF....IF....blah blah"...ppl also feel nostalgic of the past...especially good old times....fun times...happy moments....photos r good examples...cos MOST ppl usually take photos of them in their happiest moment...at the times where they look the best/handsome/pretty or watever...ppl hardly wan to take a photo showing them crying,falling etc....cos its painful when u think back rite?so why even bother to remind urself of the torture?

And as we walk through our lives and get older...we get more regrets as we've experienced more things and made more decisions.We have also matured and realised alot of realities in life,which are harsh.And one would wish that how good would it be if they were a kid again?Though we clearly know its impossible.

We all make mistakes in life, it depends on how we react after it...every sensible human,even a kid would know that they need to learn from their mistakes.It's just instinctive to make changes if things are not going in the right way of if u r not movin at all....then u better do something about it!It's instinctive but doing it is another thing.

Do u think u can nail down 3 pointers like Reggie Miller in cluth time?Well yea if u practice 500 3-pointers everyday...doesnt sound much...until u try it urself...ur muscles ache...u feel pain...its rinin outside...so u quit practising....n eventuallu u rivert to ur old self...n u might never ever climb up again...nor ever get to sink a shot during an actual game...nor would u even play any games after that...well u can also say...Miller retired...n 10 yers later i doubt he'll b as good..20 yers later wat can he do etc etc

Life is a journey,not a destination,but with stops in between, there's no goal, no end until u die perhaps?

It's the journey that matters,the experience that matters,what we've been through,who we are and who we were meant to be and who w really wanna be and how we truly hope to live our life?

Sometimes things are in our hands,sometimes its destiny...but also remember that u affect other ppl's life too.So do the right thing,for urself of course,but as much as possible think of others as well,not just those who u can c but also those u cant, and the future generations.

We are adults now!

Whoever we are...if we are sane...we might just walk and stop/pause ocasionally...looking back....n continue walking again...this journey of a lifetime...this journey called LIFE.

I posted the entry first ler.. can sue u for using the same title.. anyways.. totally agree with you.. life is walk, stop or walk.. you must know when to walk and when to stop.. as long as u don't stop for too long.. i realize I've been stopping for too long.. time to get going again.. and continue this journey called 'life'
