GROWING UP

Recently it seems that every person I know (and their friends) is asking the same question, “What am I doing here?” – wherever “here” may be. What is it that makes us so unfulfilled and perplexed?

Is it that as age increases, needs expand and greed escalates?
Is it that we need to renew our identities every decade or so, and we’re always hoping for an upgrade?
Is it that life is no more than a series of multiple choice questions, some more difficult than the others?
Is it the fear that, at the end of the road, we won’t be able to smile and say with pride, “I’ve done all I wanted to do, and there’s nothing I would’ve done differently”?

I don’t know about you but, if doubt is indeed the beginning of wisdom, I should be a lot wiser than I am considering all the doubting I’ve done. To be wiser? I guess I'll have to wait till I grow up.

  1. i am not even sure whether this is the right way to leave a comment. but i'll just try anyway.
    i am very proud of you and love you for the courage you possess.
    maybe when ppl ask u what u are doing、meaning they don't know what they are doing and trying to see the light through other ppl's answer.
    i don't know、just my gut feeling.
    anyway、hope i can see u soon. be well!
