Dor's Theory of Life

Influenced by nearly 21 years of experience, I've come to view the world in MY perspective. And being such a generous person, I'm gonna share this wonderful gem of reflection with all of u out there.

since the theories are mostly about the higher being that may be influencing my life, before I start I shall clearly state that God in this entry has no religious identity whatsoever. It simply refers to any higher being that may be influencing my life by manipulating my environment, situation and emotional status.

So here goes:

01. God takes away things so that you may learn to treasure what you have.

In other words, if you don't learn to appreciate your assets, talents and possessions, sooner or later it'll be taken away from you. And when that happens, it'll all be too late.

Using me as an example:

When I was in primary school, I was academically not too bad, but I was greedy and asked for more. I wanted to be cleverer, to be more critical, to shine and excel! What happened was in secondary school, I was always displeased about my results, and so, God got fed-up and decided to take away my ability to remember things well. There goes my ability to study for exams.

When I was in secondary school, I was distraught about my running abilities. I'm quite a good sprinter, and I am like the queen of sit-ups, but I'm always nearing the last of the pack during 2.4km. So God got fed-up of me complaining again, and gave me a sprain in my right knee just before my Sec 3 camp, so that I may appreciate the value of an intact human body.

When I was working in the bubble tea shop after JC graduation, I became aware of how less-attractive I looked when compared to the other gals working there. And I attributed it to my less-than-ideal body and face shape. And as I was complaining and such, God again got fed-up and gave me acne so that I may realise that, the mere fact of having good skin is already a beauty in its own sense.

And recently, in poly, during the time where nail art is a fashion, I took notice that my nails aren't that perfect. And as I was thinking wouldn't it be wonderful if my nails are straighter and less stronger, the accident took away my left toenail. It's God telling me hello? Having 10 nails is already good compared to just having 9.

It's retribution la, for being too greedy and striving for perfection. I should treasure my own lot first.

02. Our vast universe is merely an experimental simulation,

and hence minute little us are simply experimental beings that is part of that big big project.

heh. I must admit that this thinking is influenced by Men In Black, about us being part of the galaxy within the Milky Way, within the universe, that is within the glass globe, that is a toy for alien children to play go li.

No, I'd hate to think we are all playthings for alien kids (though possible too, to explain all the funny situations we experience from time to time), but I prefer to think tt we are a test simulation of a project. Or pert of this entertainment industry in a much much more developed galaxy, and we are all laughing stocks for thinking that we are the master of the universe when in actual fact we are only created for the sake of entertainment.

Imagine, if we are really in a globe, all natural phenomena can be explained. Earthquakes occurs when some being shake our globe, Heat waves is when they dropped our globe into a pail of hot water, Volcano eruption when they heat us over the Bunsen burner. Ha. Possible rite?

I supoose that the main thing here is the virtue of humility lah. perhaps i just feel that humankind are just too stuck up for its own good.

03. All of us exist on different dimensional planes

Ah! Got this idea from all the theories of space that I read, and also about time travel and stuff when I was in secondary school. If I'm not wrong this has something to do with probability of existence or something. Not sure what it's called but since this is science fiction based, it'll be difficult to explain, but so I shall do so to the best of my ability.


mm... imagine JC probability. Scenario: 3 boxes (gray, black and white) each with 1 black and 1 white ball inside it. u start off with the gray box. If u pick the black ball, you'll have to pick again from the black box. If u pick the white ball from the gray box, u'll have to pick again from the white box. So the final picture is, from each stage, u'll have 2 different possibilities, and so after 2 picks, u'd have ended up with 4 different routes / possibilities.

That is basically the theory behind my idea of existence. See, each of us are faced with various situations that requires us to make choices. When we make a choice, we are faced with another situation that is a consequence of that choice. Now, if I were to apply this idea of existence that I have, each person will split into various dimensions according to the number of choices available, hence at any one time, each person will be existing on a different dimension, following a different path due to a difference in choice made, and hence leading to a different life story.

a bit of imagination needed for a huge lump of words, so I shall use myself as an example again:

Let's talk about my choice in CCAs.

In primary school I was a librarian, and in sec school, I was debating whether I should continue with being a librarian, or should I join Chinese Orchestra or Concert Band. I chose to continue with being a librarian, and so the life I know of now is developed because of that decision. However, in other planes of dimension, another me would have taken the path of joining Chinese Orchestra in RVHS, and yet another me would have joined Concert Band. This decision would have caused the development of another life story that is different from the one I know now.

So let's say I took up Chinese Orchestra in RVHS. Perhaps I would have went to HCJC instead because of relatively good results and an asset of having Chinese Orchestra knowledge. I wouldn't have been in NJCO then, and hence I wouldn't have met the crazy bunch of people there, and I wouldn't be as crazy now. Of course, I might have also met with a bunch of crazy pple in HCJC and still become as crazy as I am now, but it'll be different memories, different peer influence.

It's a mouthful of description here, and I might not have done the best job in explaining it. But if you are interested, you can always discuss about it with me. Perhaps my ideas about life will evolve because of the discussion. Perhaps YOUR perspective of life would be changed because of the discussion. The main point is, the world is full of possibilities, so it's ok to make difficult choices, because somewhere on another dimension, another you will be taking the other path that you have so heart-wrenchingly forsaken.

adopt your own virtual pet!

In glory of Coralfish, my 1st and last fish, who died on 08/01/06.

You've outlasted Grad,
who mysteriously disappeared.
You've outlived Spike,
whose sudden death, i wondered.
You've battled illness,
that'd rendered you disabled.
You'll be on my mind, always,
My pet, my fish, my dear.

Rest in peace my dear~ i'll miss you...
