'This Ship Can't Sink!'

But, it did...

Today I did some thinking.. Well, actually it was more like 2 minutes of thought. Nothing spectacular! I wonder how people can sign away their lives and feel complacent with the thought that all things are determined before they're even born. That all that is to happen is meant to happen as fate intended. Sure, there is an essence of determinism at hand. But, it can't be entirely deterministic at all. Lest we want to void all personal responsibility for our actions.

I suppose in the end, it can appear as if things were fated! As if they were meant to be, that no matter how much you could have resisted things were always supposed to be that way since the beginning of time. I reckon there's a few factors that come into the equation:

1. The Past.
2. The Environment.
3. Your Actions/Choices.

So, It's almost like a tapestry that is being made as we go along. 'The Past' is the parts of the tapestry that have already been woven. This portion of the tapestry influences the frontier that is being created constantly. 'The Environment' is like the Loom that the tapestry is being made on. And 'Your Action' is like the threads themselves, weaving in different directions to make various images in the weave.

(I'll elaborate on this more later!)

  1. Yeah...I think my life was determined before I was born. Because every time I've tried to leave this country for something over a month something's always effed up and I've had to stay here and it's the only thing I truly want.

  2. It's easy, really..

    1. Identify the things you need to acquire to achieve your intended targets.

    2. Go about obtaining these things.

    3. When you've adequately sustained the particular items/things you require to reach your goals. Go about reaching them.

    - You can write a list of the things you need to get done.

    - You want to move overseas? Do some research. Make up a portfolio of places where you can get accommodation. Find out about hotels in the area you're wanting to go, while you're waiting for a place to rent. Look up jobs over there. You might even be able to apply for them now and they might help you get out there.

    - Be positive. You might not get to where you want to be straight away! But, you can eventually get there in time if you persevere.

    Yeah.. :P I've got solutions to any problem really!
