Taking An Indefinite Break
#1
Taking An Indefinite Break
It's exam season here. Long story short, I'm finding myself procrastinating too much so I think the best thing to do is to cut myself off from any sort of distraction.

This is pretty much the short-term break. The more long-term break has to do with the fact that the questions about life and also the "god concept" are something that I wake up with in my mind every single day. I've been reflecting over the past 6 months or so and what I've realised is that I've spent too much time sussing out reality/life and haven't actually lived my life to its fullest. I think it would do me a lot of good (especially at my age) to sort of just forget about the meaning of life and what happens when we leave this universe. After all, it might be the only life I get, so I should make the most of it and be a part of it instead of spend time on the sideline spectating and questioning it.

I will most likely be checking back after exam period and will have a read of a thread here and there, but I will actively try not to engage anymore in discussion. I just want to make the most of my summer holidays and not worry about having to reply to ongoing discussions.

Thanks everyone. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other in the not-so-distant future anyways Wink

This forum is leaking.

On that note, all the best in your exams, mate.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Good luck with everything, but just remember that internet forums are part of reality Big Grin.

I am frankly too computer dependent myself.

Would that 'twere, actually, but I know exactly what you mean and cringed accordingly.
