"When reason ends, faith begins." - Anonymous

Or so it seems. There lies the impossible task of discerning the truth. Because every detail of life is subject to the personal interpretation of the one who experiences it. Is faith really a blind surrender to one’s personal unconscious?

Pardon my being too technical, but it is apparently frustrating to see too many conflicting ideas being spelled out by "experts" that there seems to be no absolute truth to anything anymore. Is logic and reason not enough to explain the phenomena and experiences we have?

It is truly difficult to even try to remotely comprehend a radical idea that seems flawless in its argument. Yet, it is wise to contemplate on the veracity of it first before accepting its truth. I refuse to believe that faith cannot be explained by reason. After all, they claim that there’s always a reason for everything…

So for the meantime, I would just have to be content with the argument that the truth is within us. It’s existence is just waiting to be found by those who are curious enough to look for it.

The passing of another year doesn’t guarantee a year’s worth of wisdom gained. While it is hoped that we should all achieve this, unfortunately, most of us don’t. Birthdays, like anniversaries, are accomplishments that people have come to celebrate. But have you really taken the time to ponder if your life is worth all the hype? Is it really worth celebrating another year of life?

Existence is fleeting and unnoticeable. In this regard, if one hasn’t lived his/her life to the full, then one isn’t living at all. The physiological aspect of merely breathing, I suppose, isn’t enough to merit a grandiose celebration. And yet, ironically, waking up to witness a new day merits enough reason to celebrate.

I say we should take on the challenge of living. Carpe diem. Because no matter how each day passes by where nothing seems to change, try to look back and you’ll realize that everything’s already different. Today is indeed a present–a mystery we should always unravel to its very core.

And so we should take on a mission to do good, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant. A good life can be achieved through good deeds. After all, life should be lived well.
