The Life We Choose
Here's the premise: We are all, right now, living the life we choose (agreed?!) Let me repeat the sentence again - "living the life we choose" This choice, of course, is not a single, monumental choice **smile** No one decides, for example, "I'm going to move to UK, and in five years I will be a waiter in a so-so restaurant, planning to get my 8-by-10's done real soon so that I can find an agent and become a star," or "I'm going to marry a dreadful person like Prince William **ahhhhh hehe** and we'll live together in a loveless marriage, staying together only for the kids, who I don't much like, either." **just kidding + winking smile**The choices I'm talking about here are made daily, hourly, moment-by-moment.. kind of thing. Do we try something new, or stick to the tried-and-true? Do we take a risk, or eat what's already on our dish? Do we ponder a thrilling adventure, or contemplate what's on TV? Do we walk over and meet that interesting stranger, or do we play it safe? Do we indulge our heart, or cater to our fear? Well, think about it, sometimes these "weirdo" questions do pop-up in my head **confusing smile**
The bottom-line question here: Do we pursue what we want, or do we do what's comfortable?
For the most part, most people most often choose "comfort" (majority of us - yeah!) - the familiar, the time-honored, the well-worn but well-known (do you get what I'm trying to say, else fuck it) **smile** After a lifetime of choosing between "comfort" and "risk", we are left with the life we currently have. Like NOW!!
And it was all of our own choosing **blank face + blank smile**

Some people are comfortable taking risks while sometimes being too comfortable can be risky since it can lead to boredom and depression. Like anything in life, there should be a balance. A risk is relative to an individual. You don't have to go to extremes and risk your life, just doing something off routine should suffice.
Sometimes certain choices are made for us, and what we have left are the remaining choices after that......
Thanks Bone (whoever you are):)I do agreed with your statements but sometimes we just have to try, at least try our very best to change the remaining choices...and turn them into the BEST choices :)
D.. What would I do without you ah!! I know that I don't have to go to extremes and risk my life but sometimes by doing that... it just make your life more trilling and funner. Also, you come better person :)
But some get addicted to the rush and go nuts after a while. The thrill then turns into a form of escapism. Some even resort to supporting MU. Sad case lah. Really sad. But then, someone said that they might support Liverpool this year so there is hope after all.
IN CHOOSING, WE ARE ACTUALLY MAKING CHOICES. AND THAT PART ALONE WILL BRING US TO ANOTHER BRINK OF LIFE... LIFE IS ITSELF IS THE MATTER OF CHOOSING THE CHOICE GIVEN BY THE ALMIGHTY
But that does not explain why Era called AC/DC a lousy Aussie band. They wrote "You shook me all night long" for Pete's sake. That's gotta count for something!
