vanity

the life cycle
This is a neat piece of work, watching the animation just reminds me of how meaningless a life can be if we live a life only to complete the life cycle. We cant change the fact that death will be the end of the life journey, and the pathetic fact is that the world doesn't stop very long for grief, your love ones weep, curse, maybe they will pray.

and then they move along.

just like the picture that was shown in the animation. its cruel but its true that the time reserved for mourning lasts barely as long as a red light. whats the meaning of life then? to bear children so that they can mourn infront of your picture when you passed away? so that they will carry the mission to continue the life cycle?

"Vanity of vanities! All is vanity (futility)!'" says Solomon in Ecclesiastes.
I guess Solomon's picture of life's vistas is not uplifting. But it really makes me think, how futility our life can be. i had walked through 1/3 of my life journey, and yet i still felt like i was wondering around, thinking about the purpose of life most of the time.

i treasure those precious moment, in which i called that 'the time of my life', but are those moment able to fill the blanks of the meanings of my life? i guess i need much more than that. its human prime instict to seek for fulfillment in one's life.

To love and to be loved, thats remain my purpose and passion of life, But i knew for sure that i love, because God love me first.
