RAMBLINGS
An all too ordinary story, with aftertaste so bitter
Forced to be someone I don't want to be
I'm losing myself... sinking deeper down
I'm caught in the world wound web

Time to move to the left side of redemption..
It reminds me of a story I told to someone before, I dunno how the story came up to my mind tat time. An inpromtu story, but turn out to be somehow meaningful in my own head.
"One day, a callow young man, fresh 18 year old, is walking on a path to search for the goals he is aiming. To obtain it and grasp it firm in his hands. But things arent easy for him, as he walk so long on the same path to where he is heading and finally came to a stop. There, he was greeted by 2 separate path, divisible path to where he shall go and lead. The path on the right is a bright path glowing with the shimmers of the perspiration on the leaves, a view of peace and harmony from where he stands. On the other side, that is the one and only left side. A dark road with dead surroundings, carcasses decaying on the road side, bald trees, burned trees, dead grey leaves, grey skies shedding the land barring off the sunlight to shine down to give way for travellers, making it hard to proceed on. It runs into his head through the sight of despair he witnesses. Blood pumps faster, heart beats abnormally fast, his wind pipe being asphyxiated. Over there the sign reads "Theres no turning back for each path you choose".. He chooses to move on to the left path. The path that shows sign of despair and suffering..."
He chooses to go to that path because it is where he is heading to. The goal he wants to achieve. Making use off who he is, and what he wants and not being influence by sights and hears of others. Looks can be deceiving, as the bright road shows peace and harmony but what lays ahead is yet to be known, it could somehow be a trick to instant happiness but end up with a huge price to pay. The dark path shows who he really is, what he really wants, what he really want to achieve. Eventhough it may not be a very pleasant path in the beginning with so much of obstruction and obstacles to go through, yet in the end he will gain alot of experience through his unblessing days of torment and end up to be a very noble yet virtuous man even if he cant gain the wealth that is expected. What counts most is the personality of him. In the dark path, we might find a light at the end of the path brighter than a thousand suns. If not said the light to be found but to be created himself instead thrpugh all the hardship he shall go through, is what he chooses, the future he chooses, who he really is and having himself being ignorant to the words of others who tried hard to persuade him. A headstrong person he is. The path he chooses is his true path, his true destiny in his own soul. Hardship builds a virtuous person. Pride comes before a fall. Lust and temptation the road to suffering.
