i have decided to post my theories on live journal.
I have spend most of my days lately thinking largely that the idea of no pleasure without pain is one of the strongest forces over the human mind. Every time i have a semi bad day and im on the way home, all i ever need is a day with beautiful weather or a good song, or both to cheer me up. These things always remind me of the good times and the the good times that are coming. I cant help but feel that the bad part of my life will make tomorrow look so much brighter. This however is only available to people who are very conscious of their own actions and thoughts. Good things come along all the time but they are easily missed. Why? Because most people are so unaware of their own existence that they miss their own lives and stories. I think that some parts of everyones lives are drifted, where we dont think but just keep going, this sometimes makes us take things for granted. Ive taken alot of things for granted.
These thoughts came to me after a discussion with my organic lab instructor this morning. I was the last one today and we got talking. He moved here a year ago from Egypt. I learned quite a bit about him. He has in his life never slept more than 6-7 hours. 7 hours only if hes extremely exhausted, otherwise 5 hours is fine. He eats two meals because hes to busy to eat more. After i learned about his life style we started talking about teenagers here. He said they dont understand the word teenager in egypt the way we understand it here. The impression he got was that teenager here is almost an excuse for them to do whatever they want. I feel ashamed a little, all this convenience and i still dont get much done. Ive been sleeping 9-10 hours a day, and doing no reading or homework. No longer. Im going to re-evaluate my life style and become more productive, otherwise i might wake up tomorrow regretting.
