who am i?
have you ever asked yourself the question "who am i?", "where did i come from?".
well, the answers we each have for these questions will certainly differ. some people define themselves by their names, some by their achievements. as for the second question, some might say "mummy's tummy", while some might believe in reincarnation. whatever it is, if up to this point you have not asked yourself these questions, its time to start pondering. the list of answers can certainly go on and on.
when i asked myself these questions, i was kept rather perplexed. as simple a question it may seem, i realized i was stumped for the most accurate answer as it kept leading on to other questions. i started asking myself, "how did the world come about?", "who created the universe?", "is there an after-life?". i could easily get answers from the different religious practices around the world or lean on age-old philosophical ideas. but the thing is....we will never know....
as much as i dread the day i find out the answer to my question on whether there is an after-life, i know it is inevitable. its only natural for all living things. it is depressing. i can either dwell on it or try to cherish everything around me more. i'm choosing the latter.
