About Christianity

today, i logged into my friendster account. i do not use facebook. and i don't really go into friendster anymore. it had been i don't know how many months since i logged into that thing. anyway today i got a feeling that i should login. so i did that. and then i saw one of my friends received a comment a few minutes ago.

the thing is, although people use facebook now, friendster is still quite popular. so it isn't really that surprising to see a friend receiving a comment. but the thing is, my friend had died 4 years ago. of course i did not forget her. now and then, i thought of my very young and promising friend who reached the end of her road at 17.

the one who gave the comment was another friend of mine. so i went into her profile and read it. it was just a simple comment saying he still remembered her, and her birthday, which is today. i guess, most of us do remember her.

i read her profile a bit. and she said she wanted to go study biochemistry or something like that after she graduated from pre-university. we call it junior college here. if she is still alive now, i guess she would be enjoying her university life. perhaps complain about the teachers, grumble about her tests, get irritated by all the incoming projects and frustrated about the never-ending workload. and then, once again, as i have said so many times in my previous posts, i realized that, all these... they are proofs that we are still alive. proofs that we are living in an ordinary, blissful life.

as christians, we know we can go to heaven after we die. heaven is a good place. but, earth is not such a bad place either. or maybe i shall rephrase. living in a peaceful society where i can complain and get angry over little things... it is bliss. of course, i don't want to die so fast. there are many things i want to do which i have not done yet.

they say, 'if your time is up, you have to go.' in a certain sense, that is very true. i think, our lifespan is already planned out. is it? i don't know. but that is what i think. we don't know when we will die. we don't know how we will die. maybe it is later, tomorrow, next month, next year, 10 years later... who knows? (i seemed to have made such a post before. did i?)

in our walk with God, there are many things we can do. of course, we have our own goals. we have our own dreams. i chase after my unrealizable dream, knowing it is futile. you chase after your unreachable goal. in a way, it is fun. in a way, it is nice. maybe because, we can. maybe because, we are still living.

if tomorrow you are going to die, what will you do? this is a cliche question. many people asked that. many of us answered that. but did we really think about it. maybe we will have a bright future. but if we die tomorrow, it means nothing at all. if you die today, and when you go to heaven, when you look back, what do you want to see? what do you want to see yourself doing?

everyone has something they have to do in this life. be it you or me. we are born with a purpose. we are born for a reason. at least, that is what i think.

i don't know what i am talking about. this is supposed to be a post regarding christianity. but as i typed, i don't know how to end, and i cannot conclude. so, come up with your own conclusion. what do you want to see when you look back?

life is precious. enjoy it while you can. because, maybe very soon, we will not be around anymore. or maybe, if you see this blog not being updated anymore, you know where i have gone to.
