How should I live?
There are millions of reasons that can pull you down, the death of a dear one, the loss of a precious someone or something, things not going the way you planned them to be, people hurting you physically and morally, and many many other reasons that would make you question the real reason you live, breathe, even the reason why you exist.
But let me tell you the way in this life: we are very emotional beings. No matter how hard we try to harden ourselves in the eyes of the others, even by making this effort, we are shielding ourselves from the world, from the things I have just mentioned above. And since we are bound to our emotions, since we are forced to feel regardless of whether the feeling is a good one or a bad one, we have no other way but to feel.
So let us take this as an experience, where we test how far our feelings can take us and how much they can influence us. Try to be like an observer of what happens to you in your life. Think of it as a real time movie where you can edit and direct how the main actor (and that is you) would deal with the situations that come up on a daily basis in his or her life. It's like a reality show where you have the upper power.
It would be fun and interesting to know in which direction your emotions will take you. Will you choose to put your main character in a long time misery where he or she keeps complaining and wondering "why in the world do all bad things keep coming my way??" or, you will allow him or her to take his or her time to absorb the situation and really think of how this truly affect them.
It is very easy to succumb to life's harshness sometimes but it is also amazing to almost taste the triumph that reaching our goal may bring us. I know I am being a little philosophical here, but think about it: Since we are here, since we exist whether we like it or not, whether we accept it or have the urge to change our own existence, why not try to make the most out of it? why not live it the way we want? At least, since we don't have power over many things that come our way, we do have the power to alter the way we react to them.
So what you will choose is all up to you. What you feel is good for you and your development as a sane human being is in your hands. So make use of it. Make use of the brain that you were born with and develop it in ways that will suit your needs and desires. Society will always try to pull you down, because anything that doesn't fit with the majority is an abomination. But remember, that every person that was called a genius once he or she died, were also pointed as an intruder to society and must be taken down.
Fear not of what is inside you and shield yourself from what others can bring upon you. You are strong, and only you will be able to define your destiny. Don't let them ever take that away from you.
