Who we are...
like what i have posted last night, ive been doing a lot of thinking. i just finished watching lord of the rings...the fellowship of the ring. i was so damn bored that i found a copy at home and i decided to watch it.

a specific line hit me. well not literally..duh! the movie showed it 2 times...(hahahahaha yep, i counted it...) it aws when gandalf was sitting in the mines of moria staring at the 3 doors. he said "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time we are given." (no i didnt memorize it, i found a script...it's from simplyscripts.com incase someone might see this and sue me for plagarism...i'll post the site below...)

things happen in our lives. some of them however, we don't/didnt want to happen. however, we cannot help it. different things happen. we cannot help them from happening. we will all experiece hate, fear, grief, anger and happiness. it is like the myth of pandora's box, she was given a box, she opened it, unleashed all the evils in the world but there at the end came happiness, hope, love (not exact, but more or less.)

what counts is what we do after these things happen. the choices that we make after these events. good or bad, it is how we learn from it and use it. we all know that there are a lot of choices that we wished that we didint make. i for one have an entire closet full of them...ala skeletons in my closet. i dont want to remember them since well, sometimes it hurts. but sometimes, i wont have any choice and will be forced to open it; to help a friend, or to review such problems that are facing me at the present.

there is no such thing as fate nor destiny. nothing is set before us. we make our own life, we create it every step of the way. God sits there and watches us. He/She did not create a path for us, we make it along the way. he gace us freedom to make choices. some of them hard, while others a piece of cake. the way we spend the time we are given is what matters the most. "you can fly, if you try leaving the past bahind. heaven only knows what you might find. dare, dare to believe you can survive. you hold the future in your hand. dare, dare to keep all your dreams alive, it's time to take a stand." (from the song dare by stan bush. it was the song playing when "hot rod" was racing towardst the spaceship with...damn forgot the kid's name...in transformers the movie, which i believe is one of the best movies ever created...)

you make the choice. what makes you, you is how you live your life day by day. we must go on living. all we can do right now, is to do our best every step of the way. we must go on and hopefully, others may learn from what we have done in the past. we must make life easier for the people who will come after us. dont look at life as a problem, look at it as a game. and lead everyday with a smile. laugh a bit every day, and you'll see that living is a bit lighter. "dont treat every situation as a life or death situation, cause you'll end up dying a lot of times." (from van wilder. it's not the exact words he said. but i think i got the jist right.) or in the words of joe dirt..."life is a garden, dig it..." hahahha i don't know why i've been quoting a lot of movies now...
