What’s The Sense?

Desperate

Why am I fighting to live if I’m just living to fight? Why am I trying to see when there ain’t nothing in sight? Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try? Why am I dying to live if I’m just living to die?

Please don’t get me wrong…but I am not under depression. I was cleaning up my old pc early this evening…deleting old files I no longer need and happen to find this quote in my backup dir (this was saved in my WP database file). I had once a “Quote Of The Day” plugin when I started blogging. This quote is so meaningful thus it made me think deeply after reading it for the first time.

I think all of us has already asked the question about the sense of life. It mostly occur when we feel down or when problems seems so endless. Naitanong ko na ito sa sarili ko nang ilang beses and I only came up with one answer. It’s simply, to live…to struggle…to survive. The above quote just reversed my answer into a question…even more.

Ano nga ba ang kahulugan o saysay nang buhay? Try to philosophize life and let me hear your answer.

:idea:Life is life love. Definitions vary from one to another. How you define life is how you make it.

:roll:sa akin naman, gusto ko may ma achieve ako sa life like good career, or lots of friends or real love and happy family… Kasi kung wla kang ganoon, wish and achivement, parang walang life. magulo…pero yon na yon…:thinking:

“Why am I fighting to live when I live to fight?” Such a strong question Mutti pero fighting to live makes you stronger, makes your life more meaningful. If you fight and you win the battle, it gives you the reason to live. It gives value to life.

Malabo ba? It will always be pero ganoon yata talaga.

mutti,

i know what you mean dahil i had several battles behind me. as the battle begun…i was so devatated at first, but gained strength and will power to face the front after a short while of silent prayer. after a long long struggle…i won.

as i had the battle behind me…akala ko naging malakas na ang loob ko…at akala ko kayang-kaya ko nang harapin ang iba pang mga problema o pagsubok na darating sa buhay ko. but well…life is full of surprises and it most of the time caught us off guarded. i almost lost my eldest son because of an idiot who fired a gas pistole. he was clinically dead ng isugod sa hospital…with God’s mercy the doctors were able to get him back. they put him under artificial coma dahil hindi pa nila alam how his body would react to the chemical substance of that gas. magdamag akong nakaupo sa tabi niya…

mommy you just can’t imagine how i felt at that moment. ipinaglaban ko ang aking mga anak para ko sila makapiling tapos sa isang kisap mata lang ay halos mawawala ang isa sa kanila sa buhay ko. dahilan sa isang walang kaluluwang hayop. doon ko naitanong sa sarili ko kong ano ba talaga ang buhay at ano ang saysay nito? siguro naintindihan mo na ako ngayon kong bakit pumasok sa ulo ko ang tanong na ito noon.

The meaning of life is when one ponders what its meaning itself. in so doing, You gain access to what is reality, what is temporal and what is eternal and there is only one answer to all these… whihc is LIFE it self… nice cycle diba?

and regarding your son, strenght comes to those who believe in the power of their prayers :-)

Mahiwaga ang buhay ng tao, ang bukas ay ‘di natin piho, kaya’t manalig lagi sana tayo, ang Diyos ang pag-asa ng mundo….

tunay ngang angkop ang kantang ito sa iyong katanungan. naniniwala akong kaya tayo narito sa mundong ito ay sa kadahilanang siya lamang ang nakakaalam. gamitin natin sa wasto at matuwid na layunin ang ating buhay, at ang biyayang ating makakamtan ay walang katapusan.

:thinking: hmmm… ano nga ba ang saysay ng buhay? siguro itanong din natin sino ba ang nagbigay ng buhay sa atin? at tiyak naman ang sagot ay ang Panginoong Diyos. dahil siya ang nagbigay, nasa Kanya ang kasagutan. may mga bagay sa buhay na madaling sagutin at meron din namang hindi natin kayang arukin. pero ang tiyak, at alam kong you will agree, hindi magbibigay ang Diyos ng hindi natin kaya. ang saysay ng buhay pala ay para sa glory ng Diyos - kaya ang bawat ginagawa natin ay para rin sa Kanya. ang bawat nasa atin ay bahagi Niya.

God bless, Beng. :angel: di ba ako nagmukhang anghel? :blush:

Random Quote

It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who hiker on snowy mountainknow neither victory nor defeat. — Theodore Roosevelt
