where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

Take a good look at the world around you. We live in an absurd world today, an absurdist universe all along. Too many things in life we do not comprehend or even want to try understanding, of things big and small, detatched and close to our hearts.

Why, as a human race progressed this far, still face a substantial percentage of the world population living in poverty. Why people in power, assumed to know what's best, choose to protect detrimental industries rather than sticking by the Kyoto Protoccol. Why, understanding what is just, know that good guys often inevitably lose. Why, no matter how hard we try, can never have a say in how love intends to lead.

Such is life.

Even our existence, for the atheists amongst us. Seems almost like we were thoughtlessly thrown into a vacuous life without transcendence, a godforsaken station where all actions are meaningless and useless. How then is one to live, or go on living?

Such is life.

I arrived at this after talking to Hani two nights ago. Discussing the anguishes and angst we experience in existence as a being in what we view as a cruel world. The almost constant lack of contentment in life.

But life, should never be in a state of contentment. A contented life, to me, is no different from one that is dead. We struggle, but through struggles we find meaning, and a life worth living. Yes, the world may be absurd. We cannot control the absurdities, but even more so, should never let the absurdities control us. Have faith.

Such is life, live it!
