Life. Yes, we all love it. But when you think about it... there is so much unnecessary 'shit' that happens. Things that you don't need.
Each day really is NOT that significant. In comparison to your life... one day is minuscule! And yet we, as students, exert so much time and energy on trying to get a great mark, which in the big scheme of things, really does not matter!
Do you, or do you not only live once?
Well, for all the non-Buddhists, the answer is ONCE!
So we study to get a good assessment mark and we study MORE for our HSC which will give us our ATAR (A magic number which determines our future). Once we have this winning number, we go off for some MORE study... average of 4 years. Once we study for 4 or so years, we go to work....
We work until we are 50, then retire.
By that age, we are TOO god damn old to do anything fun without needing a hip replacement!
Is life passing us by? Are we confusing the important things in life, with what we THINK is important?
And don't get me wrong, money is important. But i just think that we should just take the time once in a while to slow things down... to take time to 'smell the roses' so to speak.
Time isn't stopping NOR rewinding...
