Why?? 为什么??

Life is strange isn't it? Just when you think everything is going just fine and all happy, life throws something to completely screw you up. Why me you ask? Maybe there is a reason? Maybe you screwed up and now its your turn to get screwed over. What goes around comes around? Maybe its what you did in a previous life and you are now paying for the wrongs in this life. Maybe you cheated on your partner or treated them like shit in the last life and now you have no right arm.

I guess no one really knows. I always look for reasons. I need the answer to why? I've tried looking through Wikipedia and whilst it has answers to almost everything else, it cannot give the ones I'm looking for now.

Catholics say that God tests you. He throws you tests every and then, keeps you on your toes? I don't despise the lord nor those who worship his words. There are many truths in his words. I just hate the fact that I have to go through this crap and try and find a reason when clearly I cannot find it.

Does everything happen for a reason? Some people say that all things happen for a reason. Sir Isaac Newton said that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. And Hanson said “Mmmm-bop, dip-a-dop. I doo-op.” (I'm sad to say I remember that.) So with all this in mind we set out within the laws of physics to the teeny-bopper beat of a family boyband, in search of the big WHY? Why do things happen.... why when you are struggling to do everything that it can all go wrong.

Why are we alive? I don't and can't claim to know because I simply don't. Or you would all hail me and then God would be a DJ. (..keepin you alive with the jive.) I don't even know if there is a real purpose to life. What I do believe is that the aim in life should be happiness. If you were to draw a graph and plot your happiness level, I think you should at least aim for a median of 75% happiness. Lets call it this“piness-meter.” Or maybe not. Obviously its not possible to be happy all the time. Some things are just plain out of your control you have no choice. But what I can't understand even more is why when someone is happy that they would go and change all of this to make themselves completely unhappy. And they do this knowing that they are making the people around them suffer. It doesn't make sense....not to me....

This is will probably read as one of the most disjointed entries I've written but I have my reasons. The conclusion is that life is a bitch. You can't predict it, you can't control it. Some people think they can, but you only control your actions. You can choose whether to make people happy or to cause them grief. But you can't choose what people do to you...

I don't really have an appropriate song... I mean unless some wrist-slashing Navirna takes to your liking. But not me... I should probably listen to some nice jazz. So whip out your favourite jazz cd and play me a track......
