Living like a yellow square sponge.

Two posts in a day? Wow! Yeah, I feel like writing a lot. Perhaps, I'm gonna take a 2-day off after this. *no, just kidding*

By the way, do you know Spongebob? Let me give you a hint:

He's Spongebob. I suppose everybody knows him.

Have you ever imagined living his life? I have, once. I think it would be nice to live like Spongebob. I'll tell you why:

1. "I'm ready!!!" - Spongebob

Spongebob is such an energetic and optimistic man (sponge?). This is his favorite line to start the day or any work that he has to do. Being such an optimist in this can-be-very-mean world is not an easy job. I don't know about you, but I personally sometimes find myself trapped in the pessimistic part of me. It's like when I wake up in the morning and find something's going wrong, sometimes I'll turn sceptical and spiritless, before I can finally find myself again to say "I'm ready". Yeah, that's life; ups and downs; but then, being a Spongebob who always says "I'm ready" towards everything will be nice though.

2. "Remember, Patrick, flatter the customer. Make him feel good." - Spongebob

Spongebob is always nice to others, no matter how bad they treat him. Remember Squidward, the squid who sometimes (often) treats him bad? Despite him being so innocent, Spongebob is always nice to Squidward. Sometimes, it will end up annoying, but yeah, Spongebob never intends to make him mad. Spongebob is just nice and wants everybody to be happy. That simple. Most of the time, he cares of others' happiness more than his. Can we be like Spongebob; put others' happiness on the top of the priority list - and be happy because of it? It will be very nice. Very very nice.

3. "If I were to die right now, in some sort of fiery explosion due to the carelessness of a friend, well, that would just be ok." - Spongebob

For Spongebob, friends and family are probably the most important part of his life. For the sake of it, he would love to sacrifice his life. He's also easy to forgive them - and also forget their mistakes. People -many people- may say they love their family, friends, girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband, children.. but sometimes it's hard to forgive them when they make a fatal mistake. Probably they can forgive, but not forget. It's okay, we're human, that's normal (and that's probably just an excuse). But anyway, forgive and forget and love with all the heart.. it's nice, right?

4. Spongebob: "What do you usually do when I'm gone?" Patrick: "Waiting for you to come back."

Beside being a good friend for his friends, Spongebob have many good friends too. And they are devoted to him. They never leave Spongebob, no matter how silly and stupid he can be. Isn't it nice to have people like them, to accept you just the way you are? Isn't it nice to be waited for - like always?

5. "Well, secretly, I'm a little bit naive." - Spongebob

AHA! It's his secret weapon. Being naive is one way to be happy, cause basically happiness is a state of mind. When you're being naive, you will only keep nice things on your mind, and you'll stay happy. Curiosity sometimes (often) kills you (and your cat), so does knowing-too-much. Thus, ignorance is a bliss. Wise men say being naive won't solve any problem because the most important thing is the ability to perceive reality. Well said. We can say that reality bites, we have to deal with it to stay alive.. but please, do admit it, being naive and only accepting anything good as reality and staying happy is just too nice to be true, right? ;)

Living like a yellow square sponge seems to be nice. There's nothing but happiness. The thing is, which one do you choose? Being happy.. or being realistic? What is this life about?

I don't know. But I prefer my life though; nothing can replace :)
