Reasons to Die For

What is worth dying for? I was in such a state that I couldnt even find a reason to stay alive.. Imagine that. I tot I was always such a positive, never say die kinda guy, yet was so ready to give up everything just because..... sigh. Emotions are such a killer... :)

(Living) Vs (Not Dying)

Money? --> nah.. Know of filthy rich people and how they live. Dun think I wanna spend my life chasing after that kind of life style

Power? --> worse. Feels great when pple respect you and all, esp when you are of a high social position. Lots of perks too. But then, dun wanna waste my life being some high profile person and you cant be personal with lots of pple. Worse still.. Power struggles, jealousy, gossips, scandals etc etc. Been there done that.

Love? --> What is love anyway? See my entry on eros, philia, and agape. Hmm.. Something that I think is definately worth considering.

Virtues? -->shall blog about this another time.. You know.. Honor, glory etc etc.. I think this is something worth dying for. :)

Religion? --> hmmm.. Sticky objective.. Suicide bombers. Crusades. So many religions and their respective religious zealots! Whos religion is the right one? Even as christians, how many christians nowadays will 'die' for God? not physically die.. Up really give up their lives for Him? THis is something I'm soooooo considering strongly lor.. Give up my life(style) to one that is... Free from obligations and responsibility. But one that is bound by obedience. Been thinking about this all my life. Will continue to do so. Religious dissonance.

Hmmm.. Let me look at it in another way.. What is/are worth living for?
Friends that are there for you, in your darkest hours. Perfectly orchestrated. God, you are sure one hell of a surpriser.
Jessica, Leonel, Gabriel, Mun Kai, Ruth, LZ, Kok, Hsin, Karen, YiWen, RongZhang... Not exhaustive of course.
You guys may not know it, or I dun show it. But I love you soooooo very very much!

"I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do
every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him,
for Him

He is my reason to live"
