The run of my life
Today, I had a run in the afternoon, nothing special about this particular run, but I think about quite a few philosphical things along the way. And I came up with this conclusion: Life is like a run.
Like Tom Cruise said in Minority Report, everybody runs. Don't you? Well, I do, in fact I believe that everybody runs at one point or another. Running towards a certain goal in life, running away from certain incidents and many more other examples. Did you have the urge once to give up halfway when you are running sometimes just because of some pain in your leg or when you couldn't catch your breath anymore, but you still keep on running just because you had to? The same goes for life, there are some parts of life where you think that you just cannot take it anymore and want to just give up, but you still carry on. Why? Because you had to, because of you family, because of your loved ones. Different people have different reasons but there is one thing in common, we cannot give up.
There are times where we get run over by other more ambitious or sinister individual, but come to think of it, who hasn't been run over. I had my fair share of being ran over but I still running, ain't I? Then there are times that YOU run over some innocent or naive individuals as well. Sad to say, I must also admit that I had my fair share of wrongdoings in my days. But life goes on. Then there are days that nobody did anything to you but you just feel like you have the runs, shit coming out like nobody's business. That can't be helped too. I have my share of getting the runs, but mostly due to unclean seafood though.
Anyway, my point is that in life, the road is stretched out in front of us. Whether you are in a race or a leisurely jog, you look to the front when you are running and you don't look back. How to run properly when you are looking back? I'm sure you can make the connections of this with how you live, right? However, having said so much, I am still trying to practise what I am preaching now. It's not easy, but I will try to run my life this way.
Look for the next guy in front of you and overtake him, and never ever let him overtake you back. That's my method of running. What's yours?
