| As i am sitting here thinking to myself, why in the world does everything feel so surreal, i'm hit with an interesting question, why do we do anything in this world? Why must we slave away years of our life with school, just so we can work every single day of our oncoming life? Days ago was my graduation when i had the most fascinating thought drift into my mind. I was "done".
Now press the forward button to a couple of days after, and you have yours truly now, questioning the word "done". Is there really something as "over with" and "Finished". Slaving every day for the past 11 years, i finally recieved a paper on a plack that states "Frank Zheng has satisfactorily completed High School". What does this mean? This mean that i;m not really finished or done. It merely means that i have another 4-8 years to go. Does this mean i will be "done" then? No, it merely means that i have the rest of my life to work and make a living. So...will there be a "done?" Perhaps when i retire? NO, for when i retire every living day will be a chore. This ie because not only will my health deteriorate, but every day will soon be repetitive and boring. Trust me, asking many seniors this question, both rich and poor, alone or dwelling in the loved and affection of their family, i recieve similar answers. Their health is deteriorating, and it's just "boring." In a sense, mere living has become "work". This is true, if one was to think about it. How will we feel if we slave our life away, trading our health and vigor for money and fame/power that has no meaning to us anymore? Simple pleasures such as running, eating the food we desire, or simply walking with out having aching pains remind us of our age are all gone. Every day, time seems to fly by slower as we have nothing to do that is not already done before. Being an 80 year old man, what HAVEN"T u done before? Have sex? HA! Sex is only a mere MEMORY for one at that age....EVERY DAY, STAYING ALIVE AND LIVING IS WORK when one reaches that age and retires!! ....no sex.....mg! So tell me...is there a "done" or "over with" in life? why do we slave everyday of our life away for? Money and fame is only skin deep, we can't keep it forever...............
My thoughts? ......sigh....it's to repay....what my parents have done for me. And ...there is a done, there is a finish, and there is a purpose. For *GOD* .....my answers to those questions are simple......if you wish to know. go ahead and ask me for more details. Or try popping open a bible and reading..... throwing away first your cynism...and try absorbing the the good book has to say....and mayb you will find an answer like i have myself.
