And life goes on

These days, I just feel like posting short writings on my blog. But then, thanks to my OCD, I don't think that's possible. So alright, I'll just write it here instead of my daily blog.

As we grow older, we tend to realise how life gets tougher. As much as we all hate it, how a simple math sum of 1 + 1 would turn x + y, how plants make food with light, CO2 and water turn to make C6H12O6 with CO2 and light via a chemical reaction forming water and oxygen with the help of chlorophyll in chloroplasts which then involved the carbon cycle and life cycle and food chain and this and that.

I was reading a medical journal just now. I was dreading it. Because somehow I just couldn't understand some parts of it, and some of the lingo out there are just so "question mark" to me. Well I guess it's life of a science student. To be specific, a research student. We have no choice but to do our own research etc. I mean we're humans after all. We have to keep on searching for the answer.

As I tell myself, life is all about asking, and answering. So keep asking, and keep answering!

Going back, well yes I couldn't understand some parts. Then I told myself, how much I wish I could go back to my secondary 4 days where I would just need to read a comprehension passage, answer a few questions, which most answers are found on the text itself (and little requires you to dig out the passage or think outside the box). No research done, just infer.

Well yes, coming back again, as we grow older, so do life gets tougher. I guess I can say life is like a Gaussian curve. ___/\___ something like that. When we grow older, and when we retire, I guess life goes back to the state when we're young and small, enjoying our lives, doing what we do best.

But of course, as life gets tougher, so do our mind, body and heart grow stronger. If these three things don't grow following the intensity of life, I guess... We'll just suffer in all aspects.

So the next time I feel that life is tough. I'll have to make myself tough as well :)
