life philosophies.

“I often wonder if I'll ever finish all I've started, and the answer I have found is NO.
No, I will never finish all that I have started because life is about doing the process,
and not the result. Life is about doing whether you want to or not.
My life, a constant work in progress and I wouldn't have it any other way.”

World. What about the world? Well, for one thing, there’s so much mystery in this world that all the philosophers since the time of Plato until this very time in the domain of the post-modernist, are not enough to solve and to ask question about the world. Of course I’m not talking about how the universe was formed, or how the hell that earth is round, they have all the explanations and the equations to solve that kind of problem. What I’m trying to write is about the essential part of the world. And that is LIFE. What is life? What the hell we live for? Why is this “life” thing give me some hard time? My friend, I proud to tell you that I don’t know. None of us does. All the mumbo jumbo some people tells us about the purpose of life, cause of life, is crap. Why? Because we don’t know for sure. And I will repeat this, WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE. We all just guessing what is it with life. And just believing that what we are guessing is true.

Don’t get me wrong on this. I never stand against that kind of believe. Because I realize that if we don’t know what is wrong or right with this life – and we never will – we don’t have that much chance to survive and to live this life without regret or with minimum regret. And this is the time where some guessing will help us get through with life. How on earth does guessing can be effective to help us maintain our identity in this world where the power of trends, globalization, and money controls and suppress our ability to develop our own identity? Also, how does guessing can help us make life to bring out the best in us instead bringing out the worse in us?

Well, my answer has already been written. Just believe that what we are guessing is true. Guessing about what is it with life, and guess what is the answer to all those problems. In short, a life philosophy, a life motivation, a motto, call it what you want. And yeah, you could also call it religion, although – in my opinion – there are some rules if you want to call it a religion and I won’t write those rules here. With those in mind (life philosophy, a life motivation, a motto) I’m sure that you can cruise this life and call it, a one hell of a ride. Why? Because with a life philosophy written hard at the back of your head, you have the edge to push through your barrier when things get hard and you need something extra to overcome it. Those life philosophy is your something extra. And if you are saying “Guessing is not enough for me, I need those certainty so that I can push through my life knowing what I believe is true.” Well dude, too bad there’s no such thing in this world – well except for math, and math suck. That’s why I wrote, believe what we guessing is true. Because this is the important part of life philosophies, trust. And believe me my friend, you will trust it if you learn and got your life philosophies through your own experience of living life and not from your parents, or some random guy/girl who acknowledge themselves as a moral teacher. Remember, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO LIVE YOUR LIFE, NOT EVERYONE ELSE. Yes, we can learn from other people and we have to. But in the end, it is you who will make the decisions, so learn a lot and experience a lot. Don’t let an institution tell you what to do. God already gives us a reason to think, what is bad and what is right, and life is where we can use it to the maximum. I know that probably you guys thinks that I tick off religion in some way, well, damn right I did. But once again I proclaim that I never stand against it. I just want to emphasize what is it means to discover it by yourself and not someone discover it for you. By discovering what is your life philosophies by yourself, you have the belief that can push you through all kinds of personal wall because you already been there done that and have the proof that it worked. Well, if you discover it and it is in synonyms with your embed life philosophies, than that it is fine, it will doubles your trust. If you find your life philosophies in a bumper sticker or in a lyric of a song – just like me – that is also fine. In my opinion we don’t have to have a popular religious institution or a holy book to have a satisfaction guarantee life philosophies, motto, or whatever it is.

As for me, just like I told you, got mine from a lyric of a song. Well, I guess I already think that life is like that, but don’t have the words to express it, so when these guys from Set Your Goals came up with this song, you just have those feeling that everything is in place. My friends, no matter how simple it is, for me, the world, this life, is a WORK IN PROGRESS.

all of it above is all my opinion.
