--L|fE vs fEaR--
the vast sea bears no boundaries.
but neither does one knows how deep it is.
beautiful as it seems,
with its calm surface and pretty fishes,
the dangers it holds are certainly unknown
On a boat, a ship, or a yacht..........
i'm afraid of falling,
afraid of what would happen if i fall.
i'm afraid of drowning,
afraid of not being able to breathe.
i took up scuba diving,
in hope of curbing my fear,
my fear of the deep blue sea.
but it did not help.......
i'm still afraid,
afraid of running out of oxygen.
afraid of being attacked by a shark.
yes, i would still be afraid,
for the more i know, the more i fear.
unlike a 3 years old kid,
i have far more knowledge of the world,
of the world full of wonders.
the kid isn't scared of death,
he doesn't even know it exists.
but now i know, that someday i'll die.
i start treasuring my life,
counting the days and years as they pass.
but what's the use of knowing?
i would still be afraid.........
i question death, wondering.............
will it be painful?
would i be alone?
what happens after i die?
where would i be?
but even if i know the answers,
what's the use?
i would still be afraid,
afraid of something else.
i would still be asking questions,
questions 'bout the world we live in.
questions 'bout the wonders of life,
questions that are better left unknown.
let nature take its course,
let life live its own.
let it hold its wonders within,
do not question any further.
if we were meant to know, we will,
when the right time comes.
enjoy life as it is.
it's far too short,
too short to waste,
to squander away.
live life with a meaning,
with a purpose, with a goal.
love and be loved,
smile and be hapi.
ps: rather long i think...........
