There some young man asking me “what it feels like to being
older?” It’s a difficult question, actually. Not because i cant answer it. But
it more like “it depends.” It depends how you live your life. It depends on how
you spend your time had given to you. It depends on what have you been throughed in your life, etc. I know, it’s a floating answer, that why I
mentioned about it before. It s ‘difficult’ or can i say ‘it complex’.
I believe every life that exist in this planet, even
universe, has its own uniqueness. They have their own way in filling their
existences. There isnt such a big or small role, it just… they have own role.
Matter is, will you doing the role of your existences? Embrace every thing
that comes to you, live in every breath in your life and make a meaning in your
existences in this universe. Or I can says it in the other ways with “do you
have a guts to live?”
Theres plenty events that we will encounters in our life. Good
and bad, winning and loosing, achievement and failure, peacefulness and anger, braveness
and fear, proudness and disappointment, acceptance and rejecting, sad and
happy, and many more. And some of us will face all this things in their life
and others will just avoid some of it. I don’t want to be judgy, I know every
one of human being have problem or perspective on their own. But what I want to
point it out in here is, what the meaning you get to being old without
experience all of this things that happen in your life?
Every living organism/non organism have their own life
purpose. And we as a human, who given an ability to reasoning, have to find our
own life purpose. This life purpose of us, will not come automatically to us.
In contrary, it’s waiting for us to find it. There’s an effort needed in that,
an effort to experience the life itself. And in that journey of experiencing
life we can find a purpose we seek. Every occurance, every new things and
impression we’ll face will always give a new perspective and thought. In the
accumulation on that, little by little we start to understand the meaning of
our life. And in the end, we knew how we want to use our time in our life.
Being old isn't just about how many time we spend in our
life. But it’s more like how we ‘live’ in that time passing through. Isn't give
a change to our perspective, on how we seeing things. Or is it give more
understanding about this life. Because we didn’t born to this world with a
complete knowledge about our life's. It comes gradually as we go through some periode of our life. So, it’s such a waste if you just getting old in a number of your
time in this world without to really experiencing and live your own life.
I think this just my opinion about “getting old” phrase, and
not to describe the true meaning of it. This is just about what I feel during the
time in my life.
When im seeing this world in different ways. Maybe not totally
in the different ways, I think. But not as ussually im seeing it. In that time I
know something happen that affect the way Im seeing. Every occurrence that im
experience in my life, that changes me. But that is a life right? The inevitability
consequences, when you spend time to time to get ‘evolved’. Just keep moving
forward to seek the meaning of your life. To seek the true form of human being
is.
