the Yin and Yang...
Hi Diary.. haven updated u for a long time... basically.. my life revolves around books lately.. and its my Textbooks... how boring... haha~
cant wait for my exams to be over man... at least the agony ends for the time being.. hee~ ok coming back to wat i wanna blog today... act dun really have much to say for the blog.. but this is a topic that i thought is interesting..
as we know.. in chinese the 'Yin' means the dark side of things and 'Yang' means the bright side of things.. (sounds like i'm giving a Tao lecture) haha... this is something that i learnt in one of my modules... din really think much of it at first but as i went through life i realised that its really quite applicable in our lives.. so today i'm going to discuss bout the Yin and Yang of life~!
well... i guess in life.. its always either this or that... but either way... there's pros and cons.. ie. the Yin and Yang. i was thinking quite often lately.. seen pple ard my age.. some of them already married with kids... i asked myself.. wld i wan to be like them? hmmm if i married early.. i wld have kids when i'm young.. wun have to grow old before i see them all grown up... however on the other hand.. i wun know how its like to have a career and be a successful career woman... there... opportunity cost... u forgo this for that... so now.. for me.. i'm forgoing being a young mother to carving a successful career path for myself.. i'll nv know how it feels like to be a young mother.. so wat i can feel for them is purely out of imagination... the point i'm trying to say is.. dun really know how to express it precisely... something like.. sometimes i think that it'll be good if i can choose to live life bothways.. example.. being a young mother and being a career woman.. and judge for myself which is better.. but well.. that's impossible... and that explains why pple always say... 'u onli live this once'.
perhaps its because of all this Yin and Yang that pple started saying 'life is ironic'... which i agree.. another example.. being poor or being rich... i was thinking to myself the other day... being rich means that u are within reach of all material wants.. but u stay in the comfort zone.. and when hardships really come... can u take it? of cos this is very subjective since different pple have different lives.. but i'm juz speaking in general... whereas for those who are not so better off.. they experience hardships and are out of reach of material wants.. but the latter can be easily obtained if the poor person makes gd use of opportunities such as education and job offers. on the other hand.. for the rich person.. is it that easy to obtain the resilience from hardships? perhaps i'm speaking from a biased point of view against the rich since i come from a very humble background.. but i believe wat i said makes sense.. to a certain extent at least.. =)
hmmmm............... dun really know how to continue.. sometimes when i'm not blogging the thoughts flow so fast.. but when i blog suddenly i forgot bout my thoughts *duh* hahah~~~
alright then.. will blog again soon~ hopefully i can come up with more discussion topics~!
Good Luck For My Exams~!
