choices

Lately, the joke of the town has been FML, which means F*** my life. There's a site for people to write about their situation and how it sucks for them and they usually end the bit with FML. From an objective point of view, some of them are pretty funny. Actually, it's hilarious. It's so easy to laugh at others misfortunes because it really does suck for them. Psychologically, I think it's easy for you to laugh because it makes you feel better about your own life. It's nice knowing that your life isn't that bad compared with someone else. Yeah...somewhat messed up, but that's the way it is. Hmm... so the title of the post is "choices", but what does FML have to do it them?

Basically, another reason why FML is funny is because of this fact. Whatever misfortune or mishap that person experiences, it takes them by surprise. Thus, giving the reason of saying F*** my life, because there was nothing they could have done about it. It just happened. They couldn't have prevented it by choice. Ah and there we go. The word, choice, is brought back into the conversation. I'm writing about choice because as people we love to have the choice, a choice, whatever choice, to impose our free will in our lives. (whether or not making the right choice, that's a different topic) However, more often than not, we don't realize how our choices really affect our lives. We want to blame anything/anyone other than ourselves. We scapegoat because we think that it isn't our fault, but if you only stopped to think and instead of unleashing a cornicopia of emotion. Maybe, just maybe you would see the real reason why you got into that situation, or said the things you said was because of the choices you made.

It's easy to complain when things don't go our way. Hell I'm guilty of this as well. Now though I've come to realize that instead of complaining about things, why not just accept it and continuing living life with this experience/knowledge gained. Everything isn't about you, it just isn't. I've had to learn it the hard way, but now that I have, I can say that it's worth it. So if you want to keep complaining, i'm sure there are millions of people out there who have it worst that you. There is prolly nothing "FML" worthy about your life and if you think you do, I can prolly top it with something worse. But that's the thing, life goes on, and with it more choices to make. Making the right ones, well, only time will tell.
