Literal Thoughts...

Resuming to my uni life this week, as usual, everything reverts back to the plain normal situation. What else? Study life… but then once you crossover this stage, there is no turning back, at all. All of us knew that time can never be reversed; unless time travel really does exists, humans will have to move on through myriads of stages. Cherish every moment of your life as if it’s something that you would treasure, protect or love the most, as life in this world is never everlasting.

Since I wouldn’t want to start putting myself in a strenuous study position at the first week, I have some thoughts on this little thing on my mind. A weird lecturer has spoken the same old phrase, “It’s the same ball game, and you just kick the ball on the field…” What I had pondered is that life being resembled with this ball; sometimes it goes into the play, offside or even into the back of the net. It can go anywhere, any plausible area. This reflects to our lives; some may end up at the wrong path and others may get to their goals.

The players? They are the ones who will be affecting the direction of the ball towards the goal. The ball can go to the wing, middle or sideline of the field depending on the player. Life can sometimes be sweet, sour, bitter, salty or even tasteless. (How do you define salty? ^_-)

Player’s condition is also vital, spiritually and mentally. We can see different energy level in each of the players; take an example on Lionel Messi from Argentina, he’s full of energy against Mexico that leads to his wonder goal in the Copa America. Some others might take it simple and lightly on the game. In short, each person has different perception on a matter. Not all thoughts will coincide with each other though some actually happened. Coherently, achieving victory in the game must have people to work as a team. No man is an island; if that game is a team-play game, then the whole team must co-operate thoroughly.

As for the managers, they have their ‘high-winning’ expectations towards the game. The fans too, have their expectations on the game and so these expectations are not just one way trip. If neither of them lift up to these expectations, then somehow they will eventually ended up quitting; managers leaving or fans no longer being loyal. The name of the team carries their dignity and reputation. What’s the point of having so famous pride when they couldn’t uphold that in the game? As time passes, I am sure this reputation will indeed deteriorate and no longer being famous. Forgotten, decaying and perish in time. They will regret if there is still no realization on their mistakes.

That’s life. Ok, enough of rumblings. Some might see some point in it and some might not. Acceptably, I have this friend of mine way back in my National Service (NS) camp. He mentioned to me about how the words of God, that’s the Bible can affect or reflect each of every human’s life. You might just see it as a book. The whole content is finite, which means u can read it all in days. But do you know that reading the same verse in different days can carry different meanings to you? Try it out if you don’t believe me; read it deep in your heart and thoughts in devotion. Magically indeed! That’s why a Bible is a very special book. Succinctly, that’s how human’s perception vary from different perspective. I hope readers can get something out of this, literally. =)
