Later on, as I grew older and perhaps wiser, I realized that in life, we can either choose to be like the wave: submissive and accepting that which it is destined to become, a part of the heaving ocean, strong in the face of the storms and gentle in times of calm.

But if we choose to do otherwise, be gentle when everything is fierce around us and strong when there is no need to, there would perhaps, arise a desire to be different in the face of uniformity.

As for life? I was right, I guess, it IS easy and uncomplicated, we just don’t try enough to appreciate the good and the bad in it, the highs and the lows.

It’s like trying to catch every wave that comes our way which we certainly can’t do for if we try, we will just feel frustrated.
