"Ask and it'll be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." - Matthew 7:7-8
No i'm not religious so the above statement couldn't have been made by me. No offense but i really wonder what this matthew fella is thinking. Hmm yeah but after giving it some thought, it does make a bit of sense. Let us break it up into a few parts to analyse:
ask and it'll be given to you. hmm when i was a kid, i used to ask my mother for this n that n this n that. what do i get in the end? more often than not, i get like a few strokes of the cane.
seek and you will find. yeah once upon a time i tried looking for love. in the end i found my best fren "loneliness". people say that don't look for love 'cos it will come to u naturally. the more u look, the more u wun be able to find it. but the moment u stop looking, love comes to u.
knock and the door will be opened to you. haha.. i tried to do some door to door survey shit before. u guys shud know the rest. period.
Hmmmm i guess our friend matthew here is trying to tell us to be optimistic. to always look on the bright side of life. i know it doesn't help to be pessimistic n all, but how often does optimism reward us with what we deserve? then again, you'll never know if you don't give it a shot. and u may live to regret for not even trying. BUT what if you know?
Nothing's 100% in this world, nobody knows for sure. However, there's one thing i know. To quote my fren:
"When the door of happiness closes, another opens. But often, we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the new door which has been opened." -Seth LimSJ 3:6-9
