Captains of Our Ship, Masters of Our Soul

Posted on April 4, 2008

This was supposed to be a response to Ev’s comment on the To Be or Not To Be entry but before I knew it, it became a tall response. So I decided to make it into a post. Here it goes:

Ev: i personally believe that when you go for something of course there where you should put your heart so that it can be more fruitful, unless you don’t have a choice and thats the only way you can serve good meals on your table, then its a risk too.

life is always full of challenges and of making decisions. i dunno if i got your entry right, but i hope i make sense here, somehow!;D

dwordpresser: Well, i agree with you Ev. Lucky are those who can choose what they want to do to earn a living. I have seen a bit of how those who don’t have a choice settle for a meager wage, just so he or she can “can serve good meals on his or her table” as you mean to say.

Well, I guess life is just like that, unfair. And it will never be fair. There will always be the poor, the rich and the filthy rich.

For me, it doesn’t matter whether a person is rich or not. What concerns me more is whether you truly happy with your life or not. If you can sincerely answer your self in the silence of your room that life is beautiful no matter what, whether you have everything you want or don’t have anything but your family and loved ones, then I guess you can truly be happy.

I guess how you handle life’s challenges no matter what your status is, is also important . I know a lot of rich guys and gals my age and, boy, can they really throw their life away or what. There are exceptions to this of course. It’s between them and God.

Each of us have a life to live. We may decide to give it purpose. We may also decide to end it. God does not push people around. He gave us free will. That alone gives meaning to our lives for we become the “captains” or our lives. The bigger challenge would be whether we can give it back to Him who gave it to us in the first place or not.

Giving back the control of our lives to God is never easy. I have tried it personally and is still trying. In fact, it takes a lifetime for many to do so I believe. Taking control of our life is just “so human”. Commonly, we hear in movies and even in our relationships the question “who are you to take control of my life?”. Many times and subconsciously, we say that to people, and we don’t go far on what we tell God (if you believe in God in the first place).

We humans are obsessed with our lives. Well, its the only thing we have when we first came out of our mother’s womb. The search for immortality has always been a subject of many movies of magic. Yet, these did not came out of magic. That search of eternal existence is innate within us. Why do we struggle to live? Why do we go to the doctor when we get sick? Why do we grieve when we know that we are dying of cancer? It’s because life has become so much more important to most of us than anything else.

You can choose how to live your life, its your call. You can try to scour the universe in search for that elixir of eternal life. You can try to take hold of your life as tight as possible just to prove how self-managing you are. You can even hoard every possession and material vanity you can afford to have. Or, you can try to constantly remind your self that life is fleeting and what really matters is how you take the daily challenges of life, how you relate to others and how people will remember you when you are gone.

The possibilities, combinations and permutations are endless. The road is yours to take.
