After reading all that philosophy about randomness and about life, and giving the summary of the book in my last 2 post, you must be thinking so thats how i should try to leave my life. By leaving things to chance and letting it benefit you instead of hurting you. However, what i am going to write after this will not actually go in sync with all those things i have said before. For in the end, our life is not just a bunch of statistics. Even if it is full of unknowns, i believe that we can actually decide in what will being happening in the future. Haha so here we go...

Talking about chance and randomness, humans actually do like to take chances for every decision in our life is like a gamble. We do not know what will happen if we choose to do this or do that and more often than not, we will regret our decision and believe that other decisions would have been better. Instead of always considering the result of our choices, we should try to be less rational about decisions and be more emotional about it. Why do we have to always consider whether we will reap the most benefit or most rewarding from things? For somethings in our life, we can never determine whether we have actually done our best or have made the best decisions. Recently one of my friends just broke up with his girlfriend (argh girl boy relationship is just not in my field of expertises) and he was very sad over it. For one whole day he kept telling me he was sad and thinks that life sucks. (actually kinda sound like me, haha i like to say life sucks too) I tired telling him that its over and since you do not want to do anything to save the relationship then do not regret what you have done. This is a very good example of difficult choice in our lives. What i am trying to get across here is once you have made a decision, do not complain that you are sad (or generally negative feelings) because it is what u have choosen. This is not a case of no point crying over spilled milk. It is not because you have made a decision and thus cannot do anything about it and therefore you shouldn't be sad. It should be because you have already choose that decision and therefore you shouldn't be sad. People always think that when bad things happened to them, it was a bad decision. However, they do not know that if another choice was taken, it might have been worse. Therefore do not try to think of different results that might happen and instead remember that experience and leave it as something meaningful in your life. Take everything as a postive experience and not a negative one. Even if you were to feel sad it should still be positive. Imagine that all your life you can only feel happiness and only happiness, wouldn't your life be boring? It is because of the countless type of emotion that we humans can feel that make us humans. Everything can be a pleasure if we take it to be so. Anger, pity, joy, sadness, bitterness, jealousy. These are all precious emotions in our lives that makes it so interesting.

In the end, even though what i have said in the about might not be related to Black Swan. However, i believe that it is linked because we should not let other people's opinion on life influence us. We should have our own way of living and experiencing things. Therefore the above is just my personal opinions of how life should be for me and not for anyone else. Why should we care about Black Swans that happen in our life? Let those events be experiences that carves your life and your personality and not let someone else control you. I believe that everyone should try to experience everything they can in life (including taking drugs, doing stupid things) and not be afraid of mistakes. ( I wouldn't call them mistakes actually, they are all just decisions, they can be correct to you but wrong to others)

Haha, i am going to end it here now. Hopefully i wasn't confusing and complicated. (tried not to be la...)
