Life does not make sense
Point to ponder after watching the first episode of 心晴总动员2.
There are so much heavy burden on the only son's shoulders. Mentally-unsound mum, sick dad.
Having so much to bear 'in the future'.
So wtf did God give him 'life' for?
If you're a Buddhist, you'll believe he's here to clear the debts he owed in the previous life = bopian.
If you're a believer in a non-karma religion, so wtf?!?
His only purpose in life is to suffer all these nonsense at home when he was young. And he is only 12 years old, yet his purpose now in life is "When I grow up, I will...".
Just a little boy, and yet already so much on his shoulders. His childhood just merely a process to get him to grow up, and his growing up is merely a process for him to provide for others.
So where is the enjoyment for him?
And this is only small Singapore = a safe, sheltered place. Compared to the rest of the world. Poverty rules. People struggling to put food into their mouths. War. Genocide. Famine. Plagued with diseases rendering them nothing but suffering in this world.
So, for them, what is life exactly for?
Here we are, in the comforts of a first-world city, talking thrash about 'living your life to the fullest', 'live your dreams', when at many, many parts of the world, people are struggling to survive just another day. And when they do survive that 'another day', what is it for?
So that they can continue to struggle and suffer!
Yes, I sound suicidal. But I'm not. But sometimes, you really wonder why the Creator create this place for.
Yes - you lead a good life. What about the statistically significant sufferers? Can we conclude that life is indeed meaningful when so many of them exist?
The more I think, the more I see, the more I feel this 'learning in life' thing is rubbish. So many people are suffering in this world it's unbelievable. To put it very simplistically and very bluntly, simply because one guy (or couple) performed the Original Sin?
Seriously, life does not make sense, not at all.
We can't continue to smile at our comfortable lives, and be blind to so much stupidity in the world.
We simply can't.
