STD

Life is a sexually transmitted disease. - ANON



Quotes like these send me into giggling fits (if I am still allowed to have giggling fits at age 27), because it's funny, witty and smart all at the same time. I wish I can find a man like like that. But okay, we're not talking about men, we're talking about life. And it being a sexually transmitted disease.



I'm having a thought. Does this mean that everyone of us affects each other's lives? I believe so. We cannot live our lives without having an effect on another's. We cannot go on living and dwelling in this world without causing another's actions and thereby changing someone else's life.



I like those tv shows where people have to go back or go forward in time. Then, there will be all kinds of rules, like nobody is supposed to see you and no event should be affected. It's funny because the very fact that someone LIVED in the past or in the future for even a day can cause some major changes in the timeline already. It's laughable to think that they can do that and do not affect the past or the future. Of course it will. Just a minute of talking to someone from the past, a security guard perhaps, in your futuristic language can already change the guard's perception on things. Wouldn't you think so?



I haven't pondered on quotations for sometime now, maybe because I haven't exactly feel like writing about some quote. But this really is good. It just stresses the point that no one can claim to be invisible in this world of ours. There are billions of people on this planet, yet each one of us has an effect on at least another person on earth. If that isn't a cause for wonder, I don't know what is.



So, I can stay here in my room all day, not interacting with my sister or with my parents and I know that sooner or later one of them will come knocking on my door. I can make all the noise here and our neighbors would not be able to sleep. I can drive alone in my car, yet every second I'm driving in the street causes other drivers to react. Ah, the wonders of living. How can someone feel alone in this crazy world, I don't know.



But sometimes I do feel alone, not right now, but sometimes. And it is good to be reminded that by just LIVING, I am never alone. One can never be alone.



I believe God made us with that in mind. That we will never feel so alone. That even if we can't feel Him with us, He'll still be there through other people.



Life is a sexually transmitted disease. You don't need literally to have sex with someone who is living to be affected, although that probably is sharing life to its utmost meaning. Just goes to say that life is contagious, all you need is to not be afraid of intimacy. Intimacy with other people.



Uhm, what's my point on all these? Ah, yes. That we should not be afraid to live our lives to the fullest...that's the only way to live, after all.
