My dad used to say that life is like a football game. The different is that you have to play the game not only as the striker but as the goal keeper, the defender, the midfielder, the substitutes and even the manager. You don't really have a coach to tell you what strategy would work best nor do you have substitutes if you need to rest. You are on your own and you don't really have other people to depend upon.
In life, the wins are sometime measured by the success of being capable as a person. However we are not born capable. We were born in this world as babies. Babies need to be feed, cleaned and educated with a goal that they would learn to do it on their own. Thus, supports my dad's philosophy of life through the game of football.
sometimes i wonder would i ever really be independent. I have always had financial support from my parents and i even have friends to guide me when i needed hints to solve a problem.
I even looked at myself today wondering if the clothes i wear was actually chosen for me. In directly, i wore the clothes which i think looks good in the eye of the people who looks, does not that proves that the people around me are the ones who chose what best for my looks. This explains the Lady Gaga phenomenon on being free in fashion (not to say that i want to be Gaga).
What is freedom if all you do is to pleased the people around you? well, do not get me wrong. Although having awareness to people views are important part of being a community, we sometime have to think by the fact that perhaps all our views was implanted on us unconsciously.
The media have played the most important role of affecting my generation. Every single time we watch commercials, we are unconsciously drawn to their terms of definition. For example, I remembered the day when i start craving for waffles. No offense, but Malaysian people don't really have plenty of shops selling waffles in those days, so how did i get that craving? ahaaaa... A&W commercials.
In conclusion, i can no longer fight the fact we are all biased in some ways. Saying that we are not biased could also mean that you are biased in a certain way. I guess at the end of the day the question of who are actually the manager of our life would probably not be just ourselves.
