Taking life seriously.

Don't you hate it when you have to take life seriously? We feel the stresses, we feel the pain. Our head feels heavy, our eyes feel drowsy, we feel tired, bla2.

But we can't help but take it seriously right? Because life is serious..

Hmmmm...don't know about that. Let's see...

I've met a lot of people in life. And when classifying them by their seriousness, there is no right and wrong answer. There are a lot of serious people, who made it in life, and there are a lot of unserious people, who also do.

So everyone has equal chance in making it in life, but the outcomes are going to be different.

The serious people who I meet, and I mean serious all the time, takes life hard. Everything is a problem, everything is hard, and everything needs to be solved. They think about a lot of things at one time, and they find solutions. they are tired, all the time. They can be cranky, and in the end they always stay that way because they forget how to not be serious.

And the un-serious is always the opposite. They take life easy. The do as they go along. They think one thing at a time. Not everything is a problem, and not everything has a solution. They are slower, later bloomers, and not as driven as their serious counterparts. They tend to be a bit more easygoing, and not worry too much all the time.

So, the verdict?

I don't know. Honestly, deciding to be serious or not depends on tuan punya badan. If being serious feels good, then go ahead. Similarly with the opposite.

But I do know one thing, we can be both serious and not at the same time. Well, different times I mean. But we can be both.

Because I think between being serious and un-serious, they is a kind of grey area that most people tend to not explore.

Like, per say, we can be serious when doing work, and un-serious when playing futsal with friends. Or we can do the opposite, if it feels good.

The most important thing, is that we have to not forget how to be serious, or un-serious. Because if we do, life will be too one-dimensional, and it will feel stiff and tiring.

And I do have one principle. We can't fight fire with fire, coz fire gets bigger. So serious lawan serious jadi makin serious. So to counter the seriosity in life, we turn it down a notch and become a bit un-serious, to lighten things up. Besides, jalan tengah is always the best right...he he
