Hi you. Yeah, you who is currently reading this. Are you aware of how many races you are in this very second? Yeah, you heard me right. Races.
We’re constantly in them. Race against time, to finish writing/reading this post, to live a little longer, to live a more fulfilled life, to breathe a bit more, to laugh a lot more.
A race to make you mark on this world. To obtain your degree. To fall in love. To find peace. To find a reason.
So many races huh?
Why do we race anyway? I mean, if we were not to race, what exactly would happen? Would time stop? Would we go insane? Would we be equivalent to those who are no more?
Our reason for living would pretty much just stop wouldn’t it? So life is a never-ending race. And though we’re not aware of it, we’re winning every single second, for those who lose can’t be reading these words right now. They’d be sobbed over. And buried.
Down swings are inevitable in a race, it’s the part where you slow down, to catch your breath, and the people or things whom or which you ran past before without noticing, come back and you get to see them clearly. The sadness, anger, remorse all come from you not seeing it before running past it. Upswings meanwhile are when you bounce back from a downswing to catch up. Going ahead once again.
People are like that, staying at the bottom is never an option. We have to be on top. We have to be first. We have to win.
Otherwise, there just isn’t much thrill.
Pretty easy concept to cover the whole subject of life isn’t it?
So, are you winning your race?

An analogy that Paul would love. So if life is a race, then school is just the starting line.
winning the race of life is one thing.living life to the fullest is another.run as fast as you can,someone may just catch up to you sam. ;)
Hahaha, it was the race that we watched that got me thinking on this. Nah school is one of the checkpoints you eventually have to go through. Birth is inevitably the starting line.
And Joshua...We may be racing. But even if we get overtaken, its just a part of the race is it not?
Yea, the world is obsessed with speed and 'efficieny'. I prefer to do things slowly and meticulously actually, although I suppose you can compare that to a race for perfection. =P
So you prefer to run slower. That means you have less risk of passing by something without noticing and you're still running aren't you?
