I'm only 18, so I guess I don't have much experience with life but I have noticed some strange things about life. I guess some of you guys already experienced these things but for those who havnt. I dont know if these are rules but for me they seems like it.
1. You dont live your life if you dont do new things. Do you wonder why time is going by so fast? time is actually the same but your brain is not creating memories so it seems like time passing by faster. If you try something new that you have never done before, you will usually get a good experience. I read somewhere that the brain makes new memories when you do something you never done before. Even if you get a bad experience, you will stil have the memories.
2. You should do things that you don't want to do because no matter what happens, it will probably be better than your expectation. Now you have to use common sense here. Im talking about going to places you dont feel comfortable with, trying new things, things that will bring good results that you dont expect.
3. As long as you are alive, your life is changing constantly. The emotions you are feeling right now, the way you are thinking right now, to your physical surrounding will be different a year from now. Sometime I feel like i hate my life, but the next day my life is not so bad. For better or worst.
4. There are stupid people
I have other stuff but I dont remember them right now
There is something I have noticed lately. I havnt tested it out yet but I think of people are born good, but life makes us go bad. If you live with good parents, they will probably tell you not to steal or lie, but the the first time you lie is probably to gain something. Maybe to not get in trouble. What makes us do that? to gain something is desire. Desire creates the bad things.
Desire to be happy will bring sorrow. When I want something but I cant have it, it makes me sad. When I have it, I will be happy for a time but then I cant be happy forever.
I am not happy with my life but I dont know if it is possible to be satisfied with your life. Can you really be happy? Can I be happy after I have everything I want or will it just bring suffers? What I want right now? A girlfriend that I love, money, power, to live forever, be attractive, healthy. well I guess I can answer my own question now. No I cant be truly happy. if i die then i want people to remember me I guess happiness and other feelings are just your brain's chemicals. As long as you have it, you will be happy. If its like that the should I just sleep and have chemical pump in my brain so I can be happy? What else beside happiness do I want in my life?
Is living life is to experience all the chemicals your brain producing? I guess that I want to live, because if Im sure that I will be completely happy for eternity if I die right now, i probably wouldnt kill myself. I guess happiness is not enough.
Another thing I noticed is that we think in 4th dimension but live in 3rd dimension. Also I think that everything has an answer.
also i dont know why it shows 2 thread in the blog thing. Its a bug so dont bitch at me about it.
Personally I just live my life one day at a time. I don't worry if I'll regret things I never experience or if my life is passing by me too fast. Life is too short to worry about that. I just do what I like and stay away from things I don't like. I used to try to live my life according to so many philosophies and live my life to the fullest. But now I don't try to live so wise and I don't cry because I'm so right and besides, in the end it doesn't even matter.

I agree with this, basically waiting is wasting for people like me and all I want to do is be more like me and less like you.
1 star. I disagree with points 1, 2, and 4. Memories do not equate to an "optimized life experience," as you seem to suggest. The idea of trying new things "that will bring good results that you don't expect" is inherently and i feel obviously flawed. 3 is pretty basic... The pretension that other people may or may not be "stupid," characterized by a fundamental incompetence of comprehension, is damaging to intellectual development.

Yea, unfortunately I disagree with nearly all of this. Specifically the afterschool special point of "We're all good but life makes us bad."
a man's impression on life is as much affected by his outward surrounding as it is by his inward thoughts. the concept of having to do "new" things is inherently flawed as every experience is new and by saying otherwise you claim to have fully exhausted an entire aspect of life.

we're not eaters because we eat. we eat because we're eaters... we're not gamers because we game. we game because we're gamers.
who are you to tell anyone what living their life is? what if somebody is 100% happy and content with their life doing the exact same thing every single day...
