100

An average man, lives up to the age of 75-80 years. I'm 24 this year. Statistically speaking, that's a quarter of your life gone. If you were to ask me, I'd say one should enjoy one's youth before it's gone. The age of young and innocence can never be retrieved back no matter how hard we try.

Have you ever thought what it'll be like to live up till a 100 years old? I think to be able to live that long and see the change of time is such a blessing. But then again, it'll almost be a sad and lonely life cos by then, everyone in your generation would have passed on. Your significant other, friends and maybe even your children. So does anyone want to live up to a 100 years then? Perhaps if you were healthy and still able to walk, I guess no one would mind but do we really want to? *imagining myself cutting carrots with a whimpy shiver due to fraility and old age*

Life and death are all predestined. So are the way we lead our lives, amount of wealth and also the people we meet in our lifetime. Fate plays a very important role in our daily runnings cos we can't cheat fate. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. As humans, all we can do is simply plan out our routes and path that we wish to take in life but ultimately fate brings us to our goal.

Don't despair if we do not get what we want, or the life that we live in now isn't exactly what we had imagined, just be thankful to be alive as everyday is a lesson and a journey of discovery. Everything happens for a reason, so what's yours?

Appreciate youth before old age.
Appreciate free time before busyness.
Appreciate wealth before poverty strikes.
Appreciate good health before sickness.
Appreciate life before death.

Paranoia is still in me.
