random thoughts in random


In our own human capacity to love, our emotions tend to have limitations. And in the most altruistic act, our finite minds sometimes see a dark self-serving motive.

We think we know a lot but the universe’s plethora of knowledge will prove… we’ll be found wanting in the Jeopardy of Life. The main difference is there’s no Alex Trebek and there are more than three contestants. You won’t get deductions for wrong answers but there is also no prize money. The race is only against yourself. You are given one chance, one chance at life.

In our search for answers, we tend to hang on to whatever’s within reach. In a moment of weakness, we settle. However, we convince ourselves otherwise. We hold on to the things that we deem as real and yet would fail us in the end. Like the man who built his house on sand, foundation is the critical component of any structure. Foundation, foundation, foundation.

But how it easy it is to write things on paper and how extremely difficult to apply it in the real world. All your life, you’re made to believe your house is built on the strongest foundation of all. But in a minute, everything can change. And in my zest for life, one of my fears is to have that flame snuffed out too soon.
