So today my friend asked me this
"Suppose You are operating a Trolley, then your brake fails. You keep going then you see 5 people on the track, but on the track next to it there is one person. You have the option to change tracks, will you change the track or keep going?"
I first said "I going to change the track, kill 1 instead of 5"
then she said "Most people will say the same" and told me to rethink my answer
So i thought about it
then it hit me
"Choice"
if I "choose" to change the lane and kill one person then someone can accuse me of
murder because it was my choice
If I stay on the course and kill 5 people then it would be less of a murder but people can still accuse me
in this situation I would be in lose lose situation
but If i choose to kill 1 instead of 5 then some people will see me as a hero
for keeping the casualties to the minimum
In the end, its all about perspective
this goes same for everything
especially in sports
With the Winter Olympics going on
I hear complaints about the judges every time
Saying that the Judges show bit of favoritism
But i am sure judges of Olympic or any other sporting events are being
as fair as possible
I guess in World Wide Events like the Olympics I guess judges tend to show
a bit of favoritism towards their own country and hosting country
but that is just our perspective
whether we think the judges are fair or not, it is our perspective
So what is the point?
In the end everything about our lives are about perspective

Life
Life is a puzzle
Its a question mark
Its a mystery
It can be beautiful or ugly
Recently Ive had a lot of time in my hands
To do a lot of things
But I have been thinking a lot lately
Today I thought about life
It seems that all the things in my life
Have worked out, most of the time
In a good way...
I wonder why or how it works out so
Perfectly
Its like a jigsaw puzzle piece falling
Into that perfect spot
Things fit perfectly to create a picture
That is life I guess
The more interesting thing is that
Puzzle pieces of my life can interact with
Other people's pieces
In other words, my actions can effect
Someone I dont even know
For instance, someone quits their job
Because they needed to, then I get hired
Because the previous employee quit
Then I quit because I have my reasons
Then someone else is going to get hired
To fill in my place
So when I quit my job, it opens an
Opportunity for someone I dont even
Know
This process will repeat countless times
Envolving countless amount of people
So what is the lesson?
Everything will work out
Its like that saying
"When one door closes, another will open"
We all just have to wait patiently
We need to have some confidence
And determination
If we have those, we can
Lead a truly worry-free life
That is the beauty of life
Because Life is not something out of control
We can control Life if we choose to
Its a question mark
Its a mystery
It can be beautiful or ugly
