Why did you do what you just did? (Bakit ba ang kulit mo?)
Posted by: bbadz in UncategorizedI tried to think of ways to entertain myself while at work (And you know how boring work can get, especially when you’re not the boss). But instead I came up with this stupid post.
You know those times when you feel like ‘Time’ doesn’t seem to move and everything just stood still. Like when you look at the clock on the wall, you see that the second hand is not moving. Or when you see the electric fan not spinning or making that annoying whirring sound. Does it happen to you? Where eternal boredom lays the smackdown on you and pummels you down until you feel utterly senseless.
The nothingness and empty space between your world and the world you know where you exist, just simply collide and fall apart, that’s why you feel the boredom that you feel today. It’s not because you’re not doing anything (trust me, you ARE doing something). But rather because you do not understand WHY you are doing what you just did.
Having a REASON to do something makes things more interesting and meaningful. Whatever that reason maybe, it is still a reason and it will fill in the gap where your boredom made a big hole in your life.
Understanding that REASON takes it up into a whole new level. Ask yourself “Why do you work?” You might say: “Because I need the money.” Simple yet effective, right? But try to go in deeper.
“Why do you need the money?”"Because it pays the bills, rent, food, etc.”
“Why do you need to pay the bills, rent, food, etc.?” (”Bakit ba ang kulit mo?”) “Because I need it in order to live.”
“Why?” “You know why… you know why..” (then drowns in tears like a crybaby.)
Simply put, what we do, we do it with a purpose. An ultimate purpose that we might or might not understand fully but it is there. We just need to look deeper.
I’m not being inspirational and preachy. Bakit why am I doing this? Dahil because, I just did not want US to be bored.
