The Murderous Life
Samantha and I were talking about blogs yesterday night(Since she's a whiz at html),and for some reason our conversation led to school life.For her,it starts in a little more than two weeks' time,while for me i still have a lot of time to go before my fingers finally touch textbooks again.Im not exactly looking forward to the sensation of textbook pages to my skin for sure,but i guess school life itself is something to look forward to.After all,a change is a change,right?Everybody loves changes,for better for worse.
She cannot wait for school to start,which i deemed as a folly idea.I mean,i havent heard somebody say something as crazy as that ever since Corinna's early University days.Of course,a couple of months later i recieved a message from her saying that the novelty of University was finally wearing off.You cant blame her for the sudden change of liking towards University life.After all,she has $39000 after her like hungry stray dogs.
Personally,i cannot wait for Retirement life to start.Imagine the amount of things you can do with it,the time spent on your rocking chair drinking a cup of afternoon tea.Sure,you dont have your youth with you and all,but i guess "Time",in today's context,really is the most valuable asset anybody can possess.
A friend of mine over at the forums was complaining about the stressful school life,something i held close to heart while reading.The way teachers were biased towards other students because you were too stupid to meet their demanding standards.The way every answer you gave in papers were circled,crossed,underlined with bold red pen.You never met expectations,others' or yours.And by the end of one semester you find that you've fulfilled nothing and achieved nothing.Yeah,i feel you girl.I feel you.
It's ridiculous that people proclaim the vitality of a youthful life when all they do is to take away the very foundation of it.You dont say,"Oh,teenagers are the most fortunate batch of people in our society simply because they have the age factor with them,and thus they can accomplish anything".True,to some extent but let's examine the truthfulness to that claim.
I think a youthful life nowadays is over-rated.We are robbed of a normal,ordinary teenage life.Robbed by the textbooks,the examinations,the expectations,the results and so many other things.Whatever happened to our parents' time,running on green fields and pissing into the wind,all so careless?Those times are gone,and now around us we around surrounded not by hills of green by mountains of books.Under our feet not green grass but blood red inks upon white paper.
Which is why i am looking forward to my retirement life.Sure,im probably going to have white hair sticking out of my head and wrinkles lining the edges of my eyes and mouth.But hey,time will be on my side and that is when i can truly tell everybody,that i can accomplish everything.
An interesting observation popped out during our conversation though.Like teenage life,she said that the working life is over-rated as well.That i agreed,and elaborated on it,saying that it is a horrifying thought to be working the same job,probably in the same position for the rest of your bloody life.Isnt it scary,to be doing the same thing for such a long time?At least school life,military life,ends somewhere,sometime.The working life lasts,and it is daunting just thinking about it.
"At least old age ends with death..." she said.And i laughed,adding on to that sentence,"And the worst part about teenage life is that it ends with LIFE".Which is so true,because at the end of our so-called "Teenage Life",we face "Life" itself,the ultimate test of all human beings.I think it is so true to call death a sort of escape,something people look forward to but too afraid to speak of.
I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as hell,only heaven.We were all sinners in our past lives,and because of that we are not in heaven,but sent back to earth to experience life all over again.Life,the most dreadful aspect of the after life.Isnt it an interesting thought,perhaps comforting in a way,that there is no such thing as a hell?Life,is hell itself.The murderous life,living and dying from it all at the same time.

Ooh! My name has found its way into your blog.
drumrolls
and my head explodes.
from pride, that is.
not from life.
Lemme see. Do you have Dracula by Bram Stoker and a list of other books? I suspect you might. Love your room's brand spanking new look! Way neat. Unlike mine. Clutter, clutter and more clutter.
