Everyone's borned equal?

Is is true.

I don't know.

But well you see, I tink that throughout your life, you will end up "equal" with everyone. Yea, you argue that some end up as beggars some as COE's. But well...

See, if life was like DOTA(For those who don't know, just take it as an RPG game), you go through life gaining experience every single second about the things you take notice on. For example, in school, you can choose to "train" your studies or spend time training bball on the courts. Outcome of the day, you either remember a theory better, or manage to do that half moon layup.

Let's say, today you can earn 700 exp points.

You spend 300 on studies

400 on bball.

Or, you could spend 500 on studies

and 900 on bball (Staying back after school chiong homework then go play bball til 7 o clock)

Then, since u used more exp points then what u used, the -200 exp points will be deducted from your energy. You become dam tired. So you have to sleep early.

So its like, you get me? Everyday, we are equally learning and experiencing in a relative amount.

Of course, there are much much much more aspects in which you can spend your exp points on. Like frienship, steads, soccer, drums, using internet, reading newspaper etc etc. Every single activity in life adds as an activity, even slacking and daydreaming (When you are slacking, you are saving energy. When you day dream, you are improving your creativity etc).

And all these ultimately adds up to your life. You may argue some live till 70, some live till 90. But think about it, those who live till 70 must have died of reasons, like unhealthy diet. But in the midst of enjoying the greasy tasty food, he is spending his exp points on enjoying his life. The dude living till 90 may have saved all these experience points to so call have a "healthy" lifestyle, by not eating maggi noodles and potato chips, but he doesn't know how delicious unhealthy food gets.

Anyway, PLEASE do not misunderstand, I am not saying you should have an unhealthy diet and eat all the shit you want.

Then people argue. How about those born mentally unstable, those born pre-destined to be diseased.

Well, I think, that they spend their exp points treasuring their life, their loved ones for those are the ones who will do so. Imagine if now you are told you will die in two years time, won't you treasure your friends and family? As for those mentally unstable, letssay, mentally challenged like down syndrome people, they may not have a chance to get married, enjoy the pleasures of life etc, but, their ignorance turns into bliss about the world around them. Its as if the world is simpler and more carefree, despite being difficult. They spend their exp. points enjoying it.

However, I believe that there are some people who overuse their exp points, till they affect the lifes of others.

Smoking pregnant ladies. They spend their exp points getting high, spend so dam much that the exp points have to be drained from the child, causing it to have deformities, health problems or even death.

When the beggar dies, he may be thinking, I have done many things in my life, although I did not do well in studies, find good jobs, please my family members, I did get to play basketball, enjoy ponning lessons with friends, having the joy of brotherhood in a gang, learning lessons the hard way, but enjoy a carefree stress free chill-always life. Yes, I end up a beggar, but its all these experience that only I uniquely experience, and no other person have experience the same as I did, that make me end up like this. Therefore, I have no regrets, I am still unique ending my life as a beggar. Although I had so much fun, I did not fulfill my dreams though... haiz.

When the CEO dies, he may be thinking, shit lah, I spend so much time studying, I never had a stead in primary school. Never got that feeling. Then in order to be good in the company, I spend so much time working. I did not have time to chill, I never gotten drunk before. I may have travelled wide and far, but those are business trips, which are stressful and un-enjoyable. Yet however, I live a life of high standards, with a big house, beautiful wife, children and many more. And I am the CEO of the company, printed to the pages of its history. Its all these experiences that only I uniquely experience, and no other person have experience the same as I did, that make me end up like this. Therefore, I have no regrets, I am still uniquely ending my life as a CEO, despite the joys I missed. But nonetheless, I fulfilled my dreams!

So we should plan how we use our exp. points well, to fulfill the dream we really want. And strike a balance.

In other words, carpe diem.
