ever felt that you have absolutely no control over your own life?
your life is dictated by everyone else, your parents, your grandparents, your friends, your boyfriend, your girl friend, your dog, your cat, the society, the government, God. whatever.
you have to deal with them, their expectations, their orders, their emotions, their moods, their demands, their tests, their hopes, their dreams.
your life is no longer about you. its about them. you cannot be selfish, cos God-forbid should you be egotistical, that you abandon them all simply to pursue your own desires. their lives are in your hands, and so are their hearts. how can you be heartless? how can you cruel as to tear them from their beings and cast them into the dust? only for you to step on and step away?
stress? oh definitely. the weight of your world rests upon your shoulders. and your own wish is to unburden them. but heaven forbid that you allow this universe to implode upon itself. how can you relax when all around you, you see only the disappointed faces of those you have sworn to fulfil? how can you sleep when you have demands to fulfill?
do you feel like doing something drastic? like Nora walking out of Ibsen's Doll's House? just leave everything that you have ever known for your entire existence, and at the risk of being ostracised, cut off, neglect by the very entities you wanted to leave? do you feel like taking a leap of faith and jump into another world?
i do. and it aint just exams i am talking about.

Ya "free will" is definitely bullshit. So why not let the Creator dictate your life! The clay needs a potter to be useful.
I agree with pqNOVA! in a way.
I would say that true happiness comes from doing the right thing in life, not simply a blind or empty feeling or experience of pleasure...that's tantamount to being hedonistic, ain't it?
The sure and confident notion that though the world may laugh at you, friends may forsake you, the society may condemn you, but you know that what you're doing is right and smiled on by God...now THAT is happiness to me.
You ARE given free will...but know that every action has a consequence, be it good or bad...and it's a man's job to answer for his actions.
You are not alone; everyone walks the path you take, and there is Light at the end of the road, if you seek Him.
May the True Peace be with you, little yellow flower.
