NOOOOOO! I got force-converted to new blogger!

And I feel all emo again. Lets do some slightly philosophical discussion.

What does life mean to you and what do you think is the meaning of life?

In Philo last year, we learnt that there is a theory that the ultimate goal in life is Eudaimonia, which basically means happiness. So every single thing that we do should be for this ultimate goal, happiness.

Reason for education; education is so that we may get better jobs when we grow up and go into the working world, so that we may enjoy life during our after years; after retirement. So, i actually feel that school is pointless in this sense. There have been so many examples of secondary school graduates or school drop-outs, who have been very successful in life and are leading very happy lives. Just like in CLE where we watched the video about Dr William Tan, he considers himself a kindergarten drop-out; yet he is a doctor now. He missed out on PE lessons, yet he holds a record in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Now on to the emo part. I hate sports. I have never liked them since young, yet I was forced to train so hard for swimming and running, of which I like neither. The only sports which I like are probably stuff like archery, swordsmanship, etc. I always have to train so hard, including training for biathlons, which includes swimming which I have to go for outside of cross country training. Of course, I know other athletes have it equally, if not more, hard. But I just want to take a break from all this. Gah life no meaning lol.

Ah well, shall go sleep, or else tomorrow can't wake up already.
