Sayings and then some...

"We cannot stop the sun from rising in the east and setting in the west."

I honestly have no idea where I got that saying but it had stuck to me eversince (hmm...I think I got this from Star Wars: Phantom Menace...though I changed it a bit).

Anyway, though I'm an avid fan of change, there are really some things that should be as is. That even if we really try so hard to change something, it's really impossible.

There are things in life that you really can't do anything about. Doing something about it would be like forcing the sun to rise in the west and set in the east...it's really not possible...unless it's the end of the world.

But it's not the end of the world...and life keeps moving on, no matter how you stop it from being so. And as life goes on, so are the things that we need to do in life. Though there are things that changes everyday, there are also somethings that we really can't stop.

Right now, there are things in my life that should be as is. I really can't do anything but go with the flow. I'm not talking about my job or other mundane things like eating and breathing. But it's the other little things that you notice in your life that you just can't live without.

Somethings happen for a reason. And because of that, whatever course we were taking before have to shift and try as we might to change course, we can't anymore. Because of the things that block in the way and how hard we might try to break it, we can't anymore. It's there for eternity, stuck in the bottom of the ocean, forming roots and settling itself, forever barring your way towards your old destination. Hence you make a new one. And why do I say that it's related to my saying above? The thing is, because of that block, I can't do anything to change course. Because of that huge thing in front of me, I can't do anything but change course and follow the new path. Because of that barricade, I can't stop what's going to happen to me anymore because it's uncharted territory. I don't know what's going to happen and I can't stop it from happening. It's there and I can't do anything about it. If I try to pass it, I would leave everything behind...something at the moment, that I can't do.

When something is happening in our lives, there are things that we can do something about but there are also things that we just have to go with the flow and follow...like accepting the fact that the sun would never rise in the west and set in the east.

Things happen for a reason, and even though sometimes, we do our best to change it...there are times when we have to accept the fact that we can't do anything about it and just accept it. Like giving birth, dying, and living...things that are a staple in our daily lives. You can try to run from it or fight it...but you can't stop it from happening.
