THE IDEA OF GOOD.

LIFE BOX

It is all about the idea of life we live and the life that we believe on. We, as a human being always take life for granted without using our skeptical mind to be more conscious of what is going on in our daily living. We even forgot that we are getting old everyday and losing our times to appreciate life we have.  Even when the grave is near, we still dreaming of a better life and a truthful way of believing life but never put our feet to the ground and realize that we are actually inside the BOX.

Everybody have their own box of life.  Some are small and some are big. Some are wonderful and some are ugly.  All is depend on how much we grasped life in the true sense of living it.  We agree that everybody has their own experiences of life and has their own way of learning it but not all of us appreciating it.  The moment we have it the next moment we leave it as part of our life survival. Very few of us look at it as a process of learning, adapting and improvising our life. Some say “that is life” and some say “life is not supposed to be like this” but, life is life and it has nothing to do with it.  Let us discus about this box of life.

All of us love luxuries things and materials. We asked so many things to happen in our life (and so miracles).  And we forgot that we cannot put all things inside our box without expanding it. Everybody starts life from a very small box.  That small box decides our life and our future.  But not on the question of what is the box we have but on the question of what is inside the box. Unfortunately, most of us prefer to know the box rather than to know what we are going to fill inside it. 


We are talking about two different characters here: the first is someone who keeps on looking a better box to live in rather than starts filling up life in his/her box.  The second is someone that focusing his/her life on his box by learning the other boxes’ way of life.  Which one are you?

 


If you are the first one, then you will never succeed searching the life you want and will never have the true meaning of life.  If you are the second one then you are in the process of having a complete life experiences and live the life fully with joy and happiness no matter what happen and no matter how great the storm is.  Why?

Imagine a tree planted in a vase and you are the one who taking care of it.  The tree grows big and now the vase cannot support the tree anymore, then you uprooted it and transfer it to the bigger vase, can it survive?  Trust me, that evening the tree withered and die the next morning. Then you have to start all the process of planting back the tree, taking care of it and transferring it and it dies and the process go on and on without the tree manage to survive in the bigger vase.  This is what will happen to the first choice of life box.  It means we are keeping on tracking up somebody’s life that we wish to be and try bring it into our reality of life.  For example; I love the life of a popular friend of mine and I start to live like him. I dress, walk, talk, act, laugh, eat and so on like him.  Am I happy with the life I imitate? Am I happy with my fake personality? Precisely I am not.  I am not only losing my true identity but I am also living a false and hypocrite life.  This is exactly not the life I understand.  It is a life of a waste.

The second one; s/he didn’t uprooted the tree but s/he took out all the soil with the tree in the vase and transfer it to the bigger vase.  Surely the tree will survive and continues to grow up. This is what I called expanding our box without leaving the box.  Let us take the same example. Rather than I imitate the first case, I learn to appreciate what I have and learn to adapt new way of life then improvise it.  I knowledge this by seeing the life of my popular friend of mine and comparing it with the life I have.  Perhaps I didn’t win my friend popularity but my winning is greater and it is my true identity and true way of living the life I have.  I just won the great respect of myself and others. Am I?  For me, this is the first step of having a successful and meaningful life.  Learning, adapting and improvising. What do you think?

I am looking forward for any comments from you all and I am very thankful to have one. I am happy to have an open discussion or question. Thanks for giving you time reading my article. I hope it’s worth for the time you sacrifice. Have a nice day (H.A.N.D).
