Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world...or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives. For better...or worse. One Tree Hill, and very much worth thinking about. Somehow just makes me believe that we're out there with a million possibilities and the culmination of where life takes us and what we decide eventaully leading to that one path we call our lives.
Sometimes gets me thinking how as students we're told that we must study, grow up to be self-sufficient people who can depend on themselves for survival (or coming from a completely alturistic perspective, to serve and repay society through all the scholarship money coming from income tax) but ultimately what do we really want out of this education? Remembered the day where we had the talk about engineering students getting high pay. I do suppose each occupation has a specific income designated but what if there is a conflict between the need to survive and living for a purpose? Somehow just feel there's more to it than that. Guess its because of a year of SMP I haven't exactly been able to commit myself to community service or otherwise, but for an ironic reason, recieving doesn't give quite the same pleasure of giving to others. Before we continue mulling over details and watch the time fly by, perhaps its time to stop and stare, take a good look at where we're heading before its too late. |
