Looking back on life

Y'all know.. I haven't posted in a long time.. well.. basically.. it's because I don't have anymore interests in writing a blog anymore.. I used to think that blogging was good for several reasons: improve writing.. to release pent-up frustrations.. to share your thoughts with the whole world and friends..

But now I know.. it's not that simple.. It takes dedication, time and energy to maintain a blog.. it takes a lot of emotion.. to put down into writings about things that happened earlier in the day.. sometimes.. some things are too difficult.. too painful to put down.. to revisit..

Our mind is very wonderful.. almost anything.. we can revisit.. in detail.. reliving some moments that are cherished.. that are impressionable.. and yet.. why is it that there are some things that we do not wish to remember.. and yet.. it keeps bouncing around in our mind.. over and over again.. 

I mean.. don't you remember those moments? The moments where you hurt members of your family with a few words? Those words you used on your friends in the heat of the moment? The break ups in our lives? Do you wish those moments could be taken back? Could be changed?

Sadly.. life is like going on a ride.. a one way ride.. with no way to get back.. to relieve moments.. to change decisions.. everything we do.. we only have one chance.. and once it's gone.. Poof! It's gone! No use crying over split milk!

This was something I wrote for an assignment..

Life,
is like a roller coaster ride,
for the first time.
Has its ups and downs,
twists and turns,
surprising one at every corner.

Each corner,
is a new challenge,
a new obstacle to overcome.
The only thing saving you,
from a deadly fall,
is the guard rail,
that holds you closely,
protects you,
like a friend,
like a lover,
like a family member

Every twist and turn,
every up and down,
it is there,
without fail.
Offering you support,
protecting you,
least you fall.

At the end,
what's left with one,
are memories,
of the ride,
of having,
someone, something,
there to support you.

Look back,
remember what it is like,
for one chance,
is all one has,
on this roller coaster of life

But.. I wonder.. if we all had chances to go back and change things.. would we change anything..?

Avatar, and something for us to learn.

Oh. Oh my. What a show. What a show. If only Malaysia would come up with producers like this. If only. If only people would stop being jealous of other's success by talking their heads off, and learn. Look with your eyes, you look but you do not see. You hear, but you do not listen. You touch, but you do not feel.

There is a story behind this movie, something that everyone should learn. Even if you watch it once, twice, or many times, if you do not truly see, then, you should not watch. Learn, people of Malaysia. See with your eyes, listen with your ears, feel with your touch, speak with your brain, taste with your heart. 

Jealousy is not a crime. But, the fool looks on with jealousy. The normal look on with jealousy, and feel lucky that the world has geniuses. The truly smart one, looks on, learns from the genius, incorporates the good into himself, and improve himself.

People, why do we look upon what others have with jealousy? Why are we not able to learn from them and improve ourselves? Why is it that we look but we do not see? We hear but we do not listen? This movie teaches us a lot, makes us rediscover who we truly are. It affects us in many different ways. 

Ask yourself the following:

What have you learnt from this movie? 

How can you improve from watching this movie? 

The life that you live in, is it reality, or are you living in a dream.
