The same question

To begin with, the question is: what am I living for?

It appears that most people can manage to avoid answering this question and feel good with it, by simply admitting that this is a deep and philosophical problem. I can’t.

Was preparing for my final speech in the English public speaking course. I'd to do a five-minute-persuasive-speech, and I can choose my own topic. I'd rather the topic was fixed. Thinking of one was killing me. It reminded me of this question again.

I could have said something like, why shouldn’t one believe in horoscope, or why shouldn’t you love and waste money on diamonds. But I'd not like to say so. I'd like to talk something that can represent myself, something that spreads my belief or thinking.

As a direct result of this insistence, I spent the whole Friday, despite there were tons of other works, sitting in front of a blank Microsoft Word screen and sat for the 8 hours; the second day a couple hours. But it was still blank. My only idea is stories.

And yes, finally I decided to talk about stories. Who could think of that! Stories is now something that can represent me the most, which is the only topic that I can look for a persuasive speech.

I’m not actually too proud of it. lol.
