Nothing much to talk about. Spent my day doing work and reading, and in the evening, my mum turned me and my sis loose on the snack section of NTUC with $50 bucks. Being the considerate people we were, we splurged $25 on assorted biscuits, chips, marshmallows, chocolates, and candy bars. =D Oh and the test above? I'm normal! =] Balanced between both, except I occasionally swing on the last one, which depends on my mood. I can be high or emo at times.


So I'm free now, maybe I'll take a stab answering Ben's emo post. Whatever flows from my finger may or may not be my thought or beliefs, but at the very least theories. Why do we exist? Is there any real meaning in life? Well there is not really any discernible meaning in it. Unlike in a game when you aim to be one of those "uber1337 omfgz0r pWnag3 pr0z0r" strutting about. Life, distilled down to its very basest is something of a no-brainer. You are born, you play hard, study hard, work hard, die easy. So is there anything to live for? If not, why not just die? Well...there is the fear of death to start with. The great Unknown. One more of those pesky annoying mysteries of life. Basically we fear the unknown, and what lies beyond death may be one of those big ones we don't dare to learn more about. Besides, even if you did, you can't tell anyone, right. Since we all will, in the end, why hasten your demise?


Which brings us to why live? You have no obvious glaring goals right? No. Humans are at the very least animals. Satisfying our basic needs are, shall we say, the primary directive? So what is it? To achieve comfort, pleasure, or happiness, or a state of relative stability. (Assuming you are not one of those who thrive on chaos.) So now you have something to aim for. Happiness. If only temporary. When it's over, grab the next chance that comes along. Plan ahead, maximise your happiness. Get good grades, get a cushy job, all of that corny stuff. Money is of course not everything. Take personal time off, relax, read. Your purpose in life is to please yourself, and occaionally that monster called a boss or a teacher. You were given this lot in life, you have to make do with what you have, make the best of it. Beggars can't be choosers. Like Donald Trump. Although I'm sure he's got enough money to choose his hairstyle. =S


Then, what differentiates us from animals? Not by much. The only thing that makes us humans is a fine line. And that line would probably be to conform to societies' norms. Who sets the norm? Us. The generally accepted consensus among the majority. Of course, there are a few deviants; there always will be. However, by effectively muzzling the animal within, I suppose in a way, we become human. We don't always act on impulse, and can plan quite far ahead. We gain an added complexity of emotions. I don't mean to say animals should be treated with any less respect than they deserve or that that they are lower class, or that this applies to all of them, but I daresay plenty don't really feel emo. Or disappointed, or directed hate against another of its kind. Our emotions simply be diverse and complex, such as feeling sarcastic, indignant, or even boredom. So, what makes us human isn't that much after all, for we still know immeasurable amounts of cruelty, and have committed the amoral acts from time immemorial. Stephen King says, and I quote: "we came to rule the earth not because we were the smartest,or even because we were the meanest, but because we have always been the craziest, most murderous m*****f***ers in the jungle." Which is probably quite true. =]


Ok I shall stop my rambling here. Right now I think either I am making no sense at all, or I am simply trailing off into nowhere. I managed to kill enough time to fill up a small truck, so I am off to read. Ciao.
