Doing to Stop

A friend said this to me not too long ago, "You're studying because you wanna stop".

It's quite true, isn't it? Not just in the sense of just studying but let's start from there. Well... i think everyone who's studying are doing this. (Ok.. there's always exceptions.) But we study hard so we can finish the exam quick and pass so we can move on. If not we'll always be stuck. Doing something we don't exactly like. And then there are others things that we do the same to. Things that we don't really like to do, but have to do. Hmmm... is there a similarity to life? Of course we sometimes do enjoy life. But we go through life, knowing it's going to end. We still try our best though... Although the truth still stay. Can i say that we live life because we want to stop? I think it's the other way. When Pandora's box was opened, all the bad things escaped, except hope. That is one of the stongest quality man has against anything. Even death. We live through life hoping that we gain something from it, hoping that the ending isn't going to be the way we know it to be. We wish and hope that the ending would change to something we want. Something along the lines of eternal happiness.

But life is like one big thriller story, with a very bad ending. With all it's twists and turns, the only thing that we always predict right... is the death at the end.
