Where was I?

I think I was suppose to let my dear readers know what I find to be the meaning of my life...

I find meaning when things are not routine,
I find meaning when days don't just pass by,
I find meaning when each moment is worth living,
I find meaning when I've learnt the will to fly.

Still seems a little vague eh?...well that's what poetry usually does, shortened and sweetened things..

Just the other day as I was walking back to my residential college, I started thinking about how routine a life of a varsity student is. That you attend classes, participate in college activities to either stay in or just for the experience and mix around. My residential college supplies food at certain times of the day, hence all the students will eat at the same time. What perplexes me the most, is how everyone can do that for an entire semester. Maybe there is spontaneity in their daily routines when some big activities are up. It's like a drug shot, you take a hit and it will last you for a few moments, only thing here is that a shot here will last you to the next one (which is not too far away). Quite a system I see has been inculcated to make the varsity student life a little worth living. For me, there's no meaning to it, if there's no high purpose to it.

Often times, my seniors ask me why am I so busy since I do not participate in much college activities and they ask whether my coursework is so loadful. I say no and explain that I'm involved in social programmes outside of the university. And that's where I find my purpose and meaning in life..

The other day I was having a chat with my working friend and he said its usual for almost every individual to go through that phase in life, where one questions his purpose or just simply put, his priorities.

Mine lie in striving to make this world a better place. Sounds cheesy eh? Well, the difference between the beauty pageant queen and workers for a cause, is that the latter have an entire framework of action to abide by. But so complicating right? When you can look to the end of things, it can be as simple as saying, "Hi, how's your day? Let me buy you a cup of coffee and you can tell me all about it. =)".

I'm very grateful to have come across this framework of action and rest assured I did not come up with it by myself or was it just conceptualized by some guru who sat isolated at the top of a mountain. It came from years of learning and experience in social and spiritual development of communities and I for one truly believe it is the remedy for what humanity is going through today.

Hmm, looks like I've become too verbose again, perhaps this framework of action i believe in shall come in the next post...

Have a great day ahead guys!
