Life...

Life. A word that inspires a great many thoughts. Many theologians, politicians, uni students, high-school students, professors, and cartoonists have contemplated its meaning. I think that great Aussie icon summed it up fairly well.

"Such is life."

So. life. What do we make of it? Is it a step into heaven, or a trapdoor into hell? Is it to be enjoyed, or should we work the hardest we can to be successful? Should we go through it like a lilting melody (Oh great. Fern Hill is coming to get me...) or trudge through it like mud. Or, as with most things, should there be a balance? Work and play in equal portions.

Jesus said that he came so that we could have life, and have it to the full. But does that mean you find the nearest bungee jump and take the plunge? God also said that just as he clothed and fed the animals and flowers, so he would provide for us. So, then should we go and spend our life savings on things that might be considered worthless?

Life is just one of those individual things I guess. You can't decide how you go about it, you just have to take each day as it comes.

Ok, just a rambling post... :)
