The last episode of ‘The Drive of Life’ was aired on friday. This series left me really impacted, imparting to me many values of life. Joe Ma who was apparently the antagonist of the show taught me many things too.
The show ended well, depicting an important aspect of life which is to forgive one another. I believe that many of us would have come across a simple phrase “Forgive, and forget”. Such a simple phrase used by many, but yet how many of us can actually do it? Sometimes, when a person has hurt another person it actually leaves a scar. Someone whom I know always tells me that forgiving is possible but forgetting is impossible. But isn’t not forgetting akin to not forgiving? At the moment, I think everyone deserves forgiveness. The bible tells teaches us to forgive others just as we would like God to forgive us.
Besides the spirit of forgiveness, something that left me to ponder was about growing up and living up to become the person you’re supposed to be. Joe Ma who played the villain in the film was given a chance to turn over a new leaf. Despite the fact that he will a father in time, however he still has not mend his way to become a role model for his child.
It’s just roughly a month away before I hit the big 20. Although it’s just one year but the digit has changed! As we grow older, our baggage of responsibilities gets heavier. I am really afraid of growing up, I fear that when the time comes I have still yet become an upright person. I worry that I will not be ready to be an adult. Despite trying so hard to become a better man and learning to be more responsible, but what happens? I spent half my day playing DotA and watching ‘D-Gray Man’. And what next? I happened to run short of time studying for the UT’s that are proceeding.
What does it mean to be responsible? That is to set our priorities right. But setting your priorities right means that you’ll lose the meaning of fun. I recall ages ago when I was still a kid, I would never hesitate to skip school to watch cartoons at home. But what happens now, I wouldn’t even want to skip school even if I am sick. Currently, I am listening to some Disney sound tracks and they bring about beautiful memories. [If only I could re-live moments.
Recently, I have been to school late on quite a frequent basis. This is already bad enough. But I realized that I have been late for a lot of things. I have been late at maturing and becoming independent. Talking about public transport, I only learnt to take it when I was in secondary 1 whereas many other people would have already done so since primary school. Now everyone has at least work for some part of their life time, but I have yet to work even once. I always justify myself saying that I have no need for money which is quite true but still I think I should give it a shot. And to think I should be dead embarrassed by now, but wait there’s more. Most of my peers have learnt driving and I have yet to learn it, defending myself saying that I won’t be driving so there isn’t a point learning. See! I’m always late in life. I wouldn’t want to be like Asuma Sarutobi a character in the anime ‘Naruto’ who is always “Late”.
Well, it’s already the 10th week and I am yet to be ready for napfa. Although there is significant improvement but it still isn’t enough, I happened to fail my running by 50 seconds and I can’t even do 1 pull up.
I think certain things won’t change. Often, I would imagine my life zooming past but I feel that there are certain things that will not change. For one , anime and computer games will stick with me for the rest of my life. I’m so excited by the thought of playing age of empires 3 asian dynasties with my good friend Wei Liang. Just a few more weeks and we’ll be computer addicts! [I happened to realize that humans love to waste time, they love spending their time rotting]
