life's a Stage

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players
Like a play, there are two types, tragedies and comedies - and I often view mine as a tragedy. It somehow falls back to the glass being half full or half empty analogy. Like a looking glass, a lens could be all that matters in shaping your opinion.

Some decisions in life are those that we will live to regret. Yet, there is no way for this flow to reverse its direction and we would just have to accept and live with the decisions we made. There isn't really much we can do once we have made the decision. It is often that we tend to reminisce on how things were and what we should have done instead, like History, a lesson that is often criticized for looking at things once past. Admittedly, we could and should learn from past mistakes but there isn't really a need to dwell too much on it, any more would just be wallowing in depression.

Despite the many bumps and the occasional pitfalls that we might encounter, life is still very much beautiful. It is hard to sometimes find value in life and I used to have the belief that living is akin to a suffering, a series of trials and tribulations perhaps. I alluded to life being a tragedy at the onset, yet I do have many beautiful and wonderful things that have happened in my life. It is just unfortunate that I tend to let the small unhappy things cloud over the good things and it has been a struggle for me to look at things positively. 

The way out of it all? Just relax. We shouldn't think too much and just accept life for the little pleasures that give us, and not brood too much.

Life is indeed a long journey and for all the ups and downs, the final destination for everyone is the same, so enjoy the journey while it lasts.
