life's lesson learnt?

The best teachers in life,

are not people who bring you to your destination.

They are the ones who show you many ways,

and you will have to choose your own,

then they will become useless to you,

they can not help you anymore for

you have taken the path of your choice

of which they have no knowledge about.



life is like cycling, and cycling alone is quite boring.

and just like any long cycling trip,

many people will give up, even your friends,

you will go out on your own journey,

meeting friends who will cycle with you,

as you cycle and the fatigue builds up,

you will start watching friends give up,

one-by-one. but you cannot stop,

you cannot stop because you are aware

that our time is limited,

you leave them behind, now you are alone,

you want to give up, you don't know where you should go,

you notice a certain van, you decide to hang on to this van,

the van called routines.



that is how most of our lives become.

but is that what we want, yes, routines

make life so much easier, we can go on,

without thinking,

that's when we die when we are alive,

we become blind to the changes and wonders

around us, we cease to feel miracles,

we no longer remember the questions we ask as kids.



"who is GOD?"

"why can't we do what we want?"

"why must we pray?"

"why must we go to churh?"

"why is it we don't have to work as kids?"



so they lose all the questions?

or is it that we have, over the years resigned

to the fact that we live to follow designated paths.

when the WorldTradeCenter crashed in 11/9/01,

the world was in a frenzy to move the debris,

in hope to find life.

most of the lives that had already resigned to routines,

in a way, they were liberated.

but if you take this lesson spiritually,

you will know that deep inside,

routine has long crashed our soul,

our dreams covered in debris,

lets all try to change that, break away

from our comfort zone, do things that we don't

usually do.
