BeyonD the TypiCaL...

"You can't choose your family, thank God you can choose your friends"

Having said that, I wonder to myself, how does nature choose us anyways? Among the millions of sperm floating in my mother's womb before the time of conception - how is it that it was me that became of it?

It has been explained that it all start with millions of sperms competing with each other - a matter of survival of the fittest between them. The strongest gets to live while everyone else dies. Even before then, when we we're merely CELLS, we already delved into a thrilling competition with millions of others - and won! I guess we we're the fittest and most determined! So a part of you and me did want to be born, or simply win! With the sperm catching the egg at the finish line - this makes everyone a BORN WINNER.


So after that - what happens? It gets you thinking about Destiny and our written Fate.  Pre-destined or not - we all have our roles to play.

For us normal people, what roles do we have then? We do certain jobs that do contribute to society. Like being a doctor, being a nurse, being a businessman, a lawyer, an inventor, a janitor, an entertainer. Some people have more significant Roles than others, having huge contributions to society among the different fields of science, art and medicine. (For one, Bill Gates, he is the guy who made computers, he built the most intriguing and useful technology today. People like Shakespeare who was destined to make beautiful art which would remain timeless up to date.)  I guess we delve into yet another Competition - this time, our nesting place is the World. Still with the theme - who is the fittest and strongest?

Regardless of the fact that what we do - every job, action or speech spoken - is still equally as significant as others. It may not have as huge an impact as those Big Shots who clearly are more fit and strong and play a better role in society.

 I guess if this life was a movie in context with the whole World, 
I guess I'm one of the minor characters.

Lyrics were once written by After Image in their song NEXT IN LINE that goes,

"What has life to offer me when i grow old? 
What's there to look forward to beyond the biting cold? 
They say its typical, yes stereo typical"

I guess it's the typical  most of us are headed to. Our role may be small yet It's up to us to make our life worth whatever it may mean. As small as the littlest pebble can contribute to the beauty of the ocean.

We choose who we consider family and we choose our friends...
Freewill enables choice, and I choose to maintain my social circle, burn no bridge if so possible, and make friends with as many as I can. We influence each others lives - that's how our significance is determined. Whether we influence the whole World by creating masterpieces and useful technology (like Gates and Shakespeare), or influence only a small percentage of the World (our social circle). Either way, we become significant. No material, fame and power is as important as these connections with people we make everyday. For when we die, money fame and power no longer matters, what remains is the memory of how we were as a person.

You may be just a minor character to the whole World, yet your a Major one in these peoples lives.


Life is but a game, so go ahead and play it!
