There is a belief which goes around saying when people die, they will face the Judgement Day, where God will evaluate your life and thus judge upon where will you go afterwards.
But really, what should be the criterion for Judgement Day when someone dies?
Should it be achievements? Or the number of lives saved? Or influences? Or the way him or her fulfilled life? If so, what is the definition of "fulfilling"?
Each of us are born equal, however, brought-ups are quite important in influencing how will a person act later in life. It is possible to change that magnitude of influence and if you did, you could be one of the few people in this world who managed to do so. So naturally I guess, when you have good brought-ups you tend to be living life on the positive side, and vice versa.
Being an introvert I'm not only people-repelling but I'm also quite eccentric. Not to mention lately I'm beginning to do things at my own pace and I'm beginning to wonder what on earth has got to me and although consciously I'm telling myself something has got to change before I hit something really hard but somehow I just keep going at it. But there's one thing I won't stop doing, that is to question, to think, criticize, and to decide my standing on the matter.
Back to the topic. When Judgement Day comes to me, I have no idea what of me will be judged. My achievements are nil, number of lives saved nil, influences I have no idea, but probably not that great since I'm a pretty on-the-fence kinda person, and fulfilled life? Not much either since like I said, I do things my own way, at my own pace, in my own accordance, whenever I can help it. It's kinda sad and I wonder will God be really having a hard time trying to place me, or hey, will I be wandering on this earth like how Meg in Eoin Colfer's "The Wish List", until I do something which can decide where shall I go?
Not that I'm regretting that my life isn't much of a sparkling and glittery one. I'm just being myself, living a life which I'm contented to be living. Is that wrong?
