please decipher "life is not a gamble"
how truth is the statement?
enlighten me with all the facts and proves, strong evidences. eloquently express them.
i don't want to start with bees and birds issue. it is a bit sensitive for some conservative people like me, also include some narrow and shallow minded creatures as well. through out 9 months of pregnancy, is it not a hidden risk that a mother to be might encounter a miscarriage? when the moment comes to welcome a new life, is not there is a danger that the operation might face accident? (i don't plan to include some medical terms here, or some of you will lost). is not there a peril that the child may born retarded? is it not a gamble?
we never know what will happen in the next second. everything is not certain and full of mysteries. there is only one thing for sure. you and me and all living creatures is to face DEAD, one day, and the day is certainly come. that is absolute and certain. with the medical advancement, there is no way you can achieve live-forever. nowadays everyone is talking about healthy food, healthy life, healthy sex, everything is health issue, because everyone do not want to pay visit to hell so soon. what is the reason you are making and taking so much trouble to do or eat or practice such a life style? so, is it not a gambling that you may want to live a bit longer than others?
you went to schooling, why? you study engineering, medical, pharmacy, law and so on, so, will it guarantee that after your graduation you will definitely get a job? or can you so fortunate to graduate in the first place? maybe you study as burning the candle in both ends every single night, but you are merely elevate the chances that you might do well in the examination. who can be certain to say that you will or can answer all the questions? what if that day is just not your day? you might be as bright as a button, but isn't it still depends on your luck to get what kind of questions you may get? if you agree in this point, i get you. you just admit this is "fate". isn't it "fate" itself is a gamble? as long as it is not 100%, it is a gamble, because you are dealing with probabilities or statistic. lets assume you graduate, eventually, even so, you might still have a chance to face that there is another recession of economic when the time you receiving your scroll. so this is not a gamble? maybe you are still lucky to get a job, so what? will you be "happily" working there for the rest of your life? you think life is a fairy tale is it? wake up man, you are gamble with your fate everyday, admit it.
you still can deny my views, but you do prostrate, or beholding to, or kind of "faith" or religion, or maybe you even practice voodoo, who knows? assuming you are a very religious man, so why you hold on on it? probably you need to have something that your spirit can rely on. why you want to rely on it? to get strength and power. what for? because there is so much of uncertainty, because you have no idea what will happen next, you just pray for the best result that you are looking for, you are seeking for, you are hoping for and you are hunger for. so, in the end of the day, isn't it a gamble? if everything is so certain, then why you want to pray? why you want to hold on to the burning joss stick and keeping burning the papers? isn't that motion just show that you are ambitious to get a better chance to better result? not gamble????
you keep on searching the best partner to suit you and can spend the rest of your life. then why you keep on searching? because you don't want to risk your entire life to mess up with the wrong woman. nothing is bestowed in life. probably you keep on changing partners like changing cloths, why you do so? because you are seeking the best for yourself, because you don't want to gamble your rest of life. you don't want to become preacher at home and sinner at hotel room (your second home). two faced is very tiring. not gamble? then just marry your maid.
every time you drive, isn't that you are gambling your life too? you might be very slow and cautious, so what? there is still a bunch of idiots and morons who just bought the license and drive like one strike by mad cow disease, who knows he might hit you even though you are driving on pedestrian pathway or overhead bridge? life is not gamble?
Birds of a feather flock together. we always joins the people that share the same thoughts and ideas like us. that is why we hang out together, no gay or lesbian issue here, don't get me wrong. but if you notice and heed, from time to time you keep on changing the group of people that you mix. why? because you are growing, mentally, and environment changes, the inner values of you are changing, the last time fairy tales moral are no longer holding inside you. life is not gamble? you are just like keeping on changing the cards in your hands, because you wishes to get better cards to win the game, game of life. not gamble?
life is just like rolling a dice, there are 6 possibilities, you can only bet on 1/6 of the chances to strike a win. the game is propounded in life, without our realization. i may see the 1 side out of the 6 faces, and leaving 5 others undiscovered. so why not you share and enlighten me?
too many and too much to say if i were to illustrate here with my little bird brain thoughts. i can have a turkey talk on this topic and, since i am not as bright as a button and i don't have a bird's view on this issue, better let me hear from you guys before i continually expose myself for incoming overwhelming floodgates of humiliation on my bitty narrowed opinions.
what say you?
April 7, 2009 at 2:33 PM i will randomly select 1 of ur paragraph and illustrate my point of view.. not in religious point of view.. just my view...
second paragraph...
it is still not a gamble...
by scientific means or watsoever..
it can be explained....
and u have the choice....
u get what i mean? i dunno how to express well.. but if u were to see in the scientific view... it is not gamble....
the technology now might not be able to explained.. but in future it can....
every single thing u do now.. before and when u have a baby in ur stomach.... whatever u do... who u choose to be the father.... what u eat... wat ur body have... every single detail... will determine whether u will get a non-retarded baby...
i am still keeping towards my believe in everything has a solution... everything that happens has its mechanism behind... my believe might and might not directly influence by religion or watsoever.. it is merely from my deduction... and i havent proved it to be 100% correct... just a view...to keep everything in order...
u post so many questions... ><... i'll post my opinion 1 at a time k? hehe...
April 7, 2009 at 10:40 PM every single thing u do now.. before and when u have a baby in ur stomach.... whatever u do... who u choose to be the father.... what u eat... wat ur body have... every single detail... will determine whether u will get a non-retarded baby...
yes, u are right at this point, but, even medically u can choose the sex of the baby, everything is under control, but can u control his behavior? can u tell later he is not gay? can u tell u will be filial obedience to u? can u tell u will go to university? can u promise his future? can he live to 70? will he marry? isn't that is eventually a gamble? like rolling a dice, per i said.
technology never promise anything. no matter how advance is the technology, it can never promise anything in future, it can never guarantee a holy and pure soul. you may invent a robot as smart as a human, but you can never invent a soul. soul is gift from god, and god give us the mind that free to think, even god himself cannot control our thinking.
everything that happens has its mechanism behind... my believe might and might not directly influence by religion or watsoever.
everything happened with its own cause and reason, i agree with you. however, you sow a banana sure you will reap a banana, but will it guarantee that the result will be 100% the same as original? weather, fertilizer, soil, sand, environment, watering, pesticide, insect, diseases, all these are uncertainties that will affect your result, and some of them are totally beyond your control. like earth quake for example, can you predict it? can you prevent it? can you avoid it? unless you are superman or whatsoever.
and u have the choice....
choice means chances, means risk, means probabilities, means statistics, right?? throwing a coin is maths, 50%-50%, rolling a dice is 1/6%, success or fail is 50%-50%, sick or well is 50%-50%, the maths might not be correct, but what i am trying to highlight here is that choice = maths, so it is gamble. i am equated gamble = maths, they are numbers. you may have a 100% result, but the factors and facts and circumstances make it an uncertain and fluctuate event. so it is like gamble.
life is gamble, a bet, and everyone is playing the game until the moment you say "sayonara".
give me a solid and strong evident to prove your stance, i am so desperate to know and hear from you. you make me hunger.
April 8, 2009 at 9:13 PM throw coin? if u were to think scientifically... if u can measure the energy flow of ur body.. give the right amount of toss... and anaylyzing the environment.. air pressure and etc... u can determine a 100% head or tail...
choice.. is for u to make... but to make a choice... u first must create the choice.. choice is created by u... like the coin thing...
if u are super duper.. i mean.. incredibely clever.. or 100 clever genuine kind of person.. den u can 100% make ur child become the one they want... but remember... everyone has a choice... EVERYONE!... meaning.. we cant control a life being forever... they will eventually have to decide by themselves .. a LIFE BEING.... which means... u cant say we are gambling on people... we cannot gamble on people...
people will decide their own future... in this context.. we cant say we are gambling... it is not applicable.. do u get it?
and there is something i wanna share... u try to analyze this...
"everything we do...everything we had in mind is directly proportional to what we create.. we are creator of our life.. we crave our own grave"...
there might be someone more superior than us...
but if u were to realise this... we are actually superior of ourself... and we are the most superior...
actually all life being are equally superior... including god...
we are equally superior because we are able to think... constraint is urself... ghost is urself... dead is urself... believe is urself... emotion is urself... u r the world... u belong to the world... u the creator of ur own world...
people might be able to destroy u physically...
but... no one... can ever destroy ur mind... they can transfer ur mind to somewhere.. but it can never be destroy.. thus... it depends on urself oni....
do u get what i mean?
all in all.. i'm just saying that.. there is only u... nothing more..................................................................
April 8, 2009 at 9:18 PM still remember the energy thing u told me?
energy cannot be destroy...
but.. mind.. is entirely different.. its not merely an energy... it is more than that...
dont compare uself to an energy....hahah...
April 8, 2009 at 9:24 PM btw... the word mysterious.... is a word of misconception....
nothing is mysterious... people created mysteriousness...
the fact.... is.... nothing is mysterious.... there are only things which is already existed... it is only here for you to discover it... and practice the true truth... ultimate truth... nothing than that....
den ur path... is u own decide... whether u wan to continue to be blinded by urself... or just end it like it suppose to be...
April 13, 2009 at 5:00 PM If everything is so uncertain and always in gamble, then why we seek for a truth in our life since there is no absolute truth in it?
However, if everything is so absolute but why we keep making mistakes and lost of direction in our life?
Everything (including life) is so uncertain for human who are so limited in our knowledge and morality.
However, the world and time is not going no where by its own. there is a certainty about everything in the hand of it's creator.
On one hand, human must humble down ourself to admit that there is no way we can know everything about everything (including science)
On the other hand, human shouldn't be disappointed that we can't find the absolute truth. As long as we are willing to surrender ourselve under the authority of the creator of everything(GOD), then we will get a true knowledge and true morality and be glad in it.
Everything that is happening is progressing according to the plan of it's creator. But we feel uncertain is because we don't understand the plan of the creator.
This is why a true religion is higher than science and human's reasoning, and that is why human live with a purpose in their life.
Cheers

April 13, 2009 at 5:16 PM If there is no absolute truth, there is no meaning in everything.
A miscarriage of a baby is uncertain for the mother but not the God who give life to the baby.
The amount of lifetime is uncertain for individual but not his creator.
A good job is define by whether we comply to who God want us to be but not who we expect ourself to be since we are also uncertain to our own life.
The answer of exam question is always certain but whether we understand well or not is our responsibility, not because of the uncertainty of our so called luck of day.
TRUTH IS NOT SOMETHING ACCORDING TO OUR OWN DEFINITION. ALSO, TRUTH IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN JUDGE ITS GOOD OR BAD ACCORDING TO OUR PREFERENCE.
April 14, 2009 at 2:30 PM AMEN
for the moment i will be away. after i back then i will start the fire again, just wait for me. lol
April 14, 2009 at 10:52 PM yeah... i somehow agree with u.... truth is not accordance to our preferences....believing that preferences is the truth is not correct.... because truth is based on truth.... it is not by mere deduction or certain knowledge... but with insight... can we only say something is truth....
though i must say that a creator might exist... but... i am not saying 100% believe there's a creator...
everyone has its own thinking... and some might have their on opinion or view towards a certain subject....
for me, i think human mind are able to surpass beyond any mind or creature or holy being can ever thought of....
somehow, deep inside me... there is something... deep inside my mind... there is something saying that human has the ability to do and make anything happen....
just need to unreveal the "thing"...
April 15, 2009 at 12:39 AM human mind are truly unique....
it can change dramatically...
it can mix chemically to produce something new....
the truth is hidden in within....
have anyone actually see things through 360 degree and beyond?
not we cannot, is we havent able to discover how to do it only...
limit is set by self... 1 can do better and worst is depends on self....
