Change
ive come to the conclusion, based on my own observations and experience, that for quite a few of us, the biggest challenge we face in life is to grapple with change. be it change in work, play, relationships or anything for that matter. and we seem to be continuously and repeatedly chasing for a form of stability.
im gonna make some remarks of a religious nature that i do not mean in a negative way, so pls, if any1 begs to differ, by all means go ahead, but dun take it in a bad light and come after me saying im spouting blasphemy.
the thing i notice abt alot of religions, after having heard some frens and family recount the values and teachings they have learnt, is that there is always the promise of attaining something like 'nirvana' or 'being saved'. basically, to me, it sounds like it is reaching a point where u are totally rid of 'bad'.
im a free thinker, so i dun subject myself to any way of thought or belief. but it does seem to me that religion, be it islam, christianity, buddhism are all jus........life coaching courses? a way of thought and teaching that guides a follower thru managing change.
whether there is one better than the other or truer than the other is really debatable to me. i jus believe we always find the methods most appropriate for ourselves, the ones we can relate to most. as of now, at 25yrs of age, i do not seem to see a need to follow any religion to be able to find answers i need to manage the changes in my life.
ultimately, i subscribe to the fact that change is the only constant, cliched as it is.
had breakfast with V this morning and relating with his experiences with those of my own during our catch up only confirms my observations that change is something that we have to deal with through our lives. and often, our first reactions are to resist transitions/changes. anything that is unknown, new, out of the blue or at first seemingly negative is regarded with unhappiness and resentment. which is then followed by low morale and the lack of spirit.
and that is something that no one likes or every1 tries to avoid. though it is not itself an entirely bad thing either as long as it is not prolonged.
gonna end this post abruptly cos im supposed to be rushing on something and as much as i like writing essays or debating stuff, i sometimes do not have the patience or time to do it tho it is more of the latter now.
till the next post.
in case i do not post till after xmas, MERRY XMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR PPLE~!
