Here we go...
Yesterday, I went through a serious nerve-wrecking showdown with the Physics Lab operators. It was something about my clearance not being signed because of some protractor that was missing. I didn't even know that we had used a protractor in one of our experiments. The frustrating thing about it was that I had to come to school from the comfort of my home, walk through the afternoon sun and almost NOT graduate just because of a P4.00 Protractor. Yep! Life's a bitch ain't it?
After that, RA invited me to go to SM for the rest of the day. Good thing the others were already there. First things first, Onat got his mouth X-ray'd and I still stand up to my beliefs, that
. Next, off to the Movies!
We watched "The 300" and lo and behold! Who would have thought a Spartan King's words and his army of 300 men with amazing abdominal musculinity would brigthen my day? Expect something of the sort coming up XD
Pretty much summer fun after that until tragedy struck as I came home.
My PC monitor is in a coma. In its old age, chances of survival are pretty slim. Let us pay our respects and cherish these past days that we have spent with each other.
Another Epiphaneous Episode...
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
-- Carl Jung (1875 - 1961), "Memories, Dreams, Reflections", 1962
To be conscious that we are perceiving or thinking is to be conscious of our own existence.
-- Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), Nichomachean Ethics
Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself - and thus make yourself indispensable.
-- Andre Gide (1869 - 1951)
How does one exist? How can he make himself appear material to those around him? And in what hell made
me ponder on this fact?
Lets face the facts,
Man fears to become forgotten. It is in each one of us. We all have it. Its the common drive in us all that provokes us to make our mark on the world. We just do it in our own individual way but nevertheless, we do it. We do not want to be forgotten. It is a side effect to man's mortality. The fact that one day our own flesh will cease to function drives us to do all we can to make our mark in others, in our works, and in the world.
Man is often too busy existing to actually realize why he exists. Call it an epiphany if you will but I dwelled upon this as I saw the people around me.
The only way to exist is to make others feel that they do exist. It hit me in the head that God did not intend for you to exist just to be loved by
others, God created you for the sole purpose of loving
others. It does not matter how many gifts you receive on your birthday. What matters is that your loved ones DO get one on their birthday. In that single act, you eliminate their fear and nothing is more valuable
to a person than knowing he/she is remembered. It supports the reason
why we all search for our beloved "one". The someone that will never forget about you
and will give you a right to exist in their memories day and night.
My conclusion?
We do not exist to be loved by others. We exist to love our self and others. It is how we materialize our existence and If we are given the privilege, in others we could exist.

A pinch of cyanide.
Have you ever heard of the piece: "The Marks of an Educated Man" by Nicholas Murray Butler?
Well, we had a sort of open forum in English class earlier and I don't know why but it had a lot of points, as well as from others, that I pondered upon.
For instance,
"Which came first? The chicken or the egg?". I wallowed upon this question that related to both the ability to reflect and to achieve growth. Why does it seem that something always needs to go first? Okay, let's say that it depends on man's perspective of time and space. Something must occur before the other. In the midst of my reflection, I came upon the actual question on the back of my head. "Why must there be always something of more importance to the other?". Why does man debate and rebuttle when in the simplest and most plain sense, God created everything in equal quality on a balanced system? What is so important in being "most"?
Is it man's drive for the power he cannot or is not supposed
to have? Why not balance the scale so
that it is in favor for all?
So many questions inside my head, I'm starting to become quiet and quite philosophical I suppose. Man's curiosity to search for proper reason is starting to escape me.
I'd best be on my way and build of me a better person, rather than waste it on my inevitable curiosity of man's logical defects and love. If it is right and true, then it would be most proper that I wait, for love never ceases to function. It is pure energy built in a everlasting cycle.
Love exists for all. "Someday, Somehow... we'll be together.
don't shed a tear, my beloved...
For this is not the end...
This is just the beginning, the start of everything
for the tale that is our future is still unwritten."
