Yo shi yuan, i'm sure you dun mind me contributing to your posts right? since u did give me authorship for ur blog too..
I always feel that it is maturity for those who seek purpose in their lives. It is where people are aware that they are living and they wish to live responsible lives to pursue things that truly matters.
There is a difference between thinking you know what u want, and REALLY knowing what you are pursuing in life. The heart is deceitful above all things. It can fool you to believe that what you are doing is worth it and asking you not too think too much. U need to think really long term, in perspective of your whole life!
I agree there are many who are merely existing and not living life. But it is not for me to judge who's passion is worth seeking and which is not. Though it is really disheartening to see others wandering aimlessly in life, chasing temporal pleasures, being enslaved by the structured life of this world.
The matrix does provoke us to think deeper to find out if what we see in life is all there is to it. One part i really like is the final showdown between Agent Smith and Neo. Agent Smith is winning and he began to question Neo's motivation to fight despite losing. What is it that you are fighting for? What is it that keeps you going? Is it hope? Only a foolish thing such as the human mind can create smth like this.. Is it love? What is your purpose?
Though having the consciousness to start asking these questions does stop us to think, questions upon questions without answers drives us nowhere. We become no different from those who do not seek the truth.
This is what I've understood about the truth. Truth is truth. It does not depend on human opinions. It does not vary for different people. It cannot be debated on. There can only be 1 truth, it does not compromise, nor does it accept any other facts that contradicts it. All lies and deceit will be revealed under the truth. Either you accept it or you reject it. Either way you will face the consequence of your choice in time to come just like any other decisions you make in life.
That's the nature of the truth. One will slowly realise why it is so, simply because it is its nature, it's how we define truth. If truth can be manipulated by man, it is not truth.
This is the truth that I'm very thankful I'm being chosen to know. That a life without its Creator is meaningless beacuse the creation does not understand why he is here. Only by coming back to the Creator of life can he truly find the answers to life. If you really think about it, of all the people in the world, who will have the answers to everything? Of course the one who is all-knowing - God Himself. My answers to life is expressed through the way I live. I do not keep the truth because it set me free. And i challenge all who reads to seek that truth and judge it for yourself how blessed it is to know the truth.
