Life

Living is such a chore. Life is a joke, really.


You wake up in the morning, brush teeth and get ready for the day. Actually getting ready is just to make sure that you do not give people you meet a bad impression of yourself. We get ready physically before we step out the door so we can hide what we do not want others to see. The embarrassing, ugly side.
And when we go to school, work, etc, we meet people. We put on different masks in different situations when we are with different people. We speak differently, walk differently, behave differently. At the end of the day we really get confused about what the true image behind those masks look like.
We try so hard to cover up what is inside of us that we our very own selves no longer know what has been and is inside.
When we realise that we no longer understand ourselves, we already have no time and will to do so because there is so much to do everyday, so many things to hide, so many tasks to complete, so much money to go after.

Life. It was created to be simple, but we have made it so complicated.
Nobody understands what really is, life, anymore.


What are we? What is life?

How many people know why are they living in this world? How many?

Life without purpose is life without meaning, and life without meaning is life without hope.



So you grow up to go to school to go to college to achieve something in your studies to set foot in society to work to earn money to settle down to start a family then send your children to school so that your children go to college so that they set foot in society to work so that they earn money to settle down and start families and they shall raise their children and send them to school and the cycle goes on and on.

So then, what is life if it isn't a joke?


And in the cycle above, you make friends not knowing how long will those friendships last, after which you realise you made more mistakes than you made friends.
You try to find yourself and get back to your senses but when you finally try hard enough, you discover that life is only but a joke, really.

Life is just a show, something for your Audience.
