cool dilemma

So, for our English class, we had to think of different dilemmas, pick one and have a sort of like a "question and answer" portion. This is in relation to our topic, the poem, The Road Less Travelled.

The dilemma that Ivy asked me was about killing.

This was the situation she presented: You were a priest and you saw a mother bird with her hungry little chicks. Then, it was going to kill a worm for her chicks' satisfaction. So, will you allow the bird to kill it or save the worm?

I answered: First of all, there is a balance in all of things. We all have our purposes and some's purposes are to be killed and eaten. That's just the way it is. But of course, one cannot exist fully without the other. We all have our niches.(I really elaborated this orally and forgot the other details.)

This question reminds me of my still unsuccessful quest of searching for my purpose. I am in no condition of finding out. Maybe, it's just not the right time. I haven't lived fully to understand it.

So, back to my original topic.

Meanwhile, when it was my turn to ask a question, I asked:

   If you were to choose a course in college, which would you prefer:

the course that involves your passion and childhood dream but will not make you financially stable

    or

the course that your parents are pushing you to take and it contradicts your interest but will earn you lots of money.

I was disappointed by the answer of my classmate so therefore, I shall refrain from mentioning it.

 If I was the one questioned, I would've answered the first choice. Money isn't everything. Money won't fulfill everything. Self fulfillment is achieved when you achieved what you long for.

And I shall finish this blog saying that I want to give up on my studies but there is still this nagging voice that urges me to do better. (Bye-bye honor list, thank you for the 10 years of embracing my name.)
