One of the articles in the The Star got me thinking. Somehow, when I read her column, I feel the problems that I'm facing right now seem so, according to her.. insignificant. It's true, don't you think? Besides having to study, to maintain relationships, friendships, family, etc what other problems am I facing that others are not?
Being stressed from our studies, yes. But, everyone from any courses are having the same situation. So, what's so special about it? We may say that our subjects are difficult, yet we keep on complaining bout it but it never seem to occur to us to take that chance or to be initiative to at least try.
Those who deserve better are those who actually give their best shot.. and aim high! Have u ever seen doctors, physiologist, and pilots' books? Theirs are damn bloody hell thick! Mine is nothing compare to them. So what if I don't take science subjects whatsoever, but don't anyhow think that arts subjects are easy okay. It also takes time to for us to adjust to something new.
Not only that, but it also applies to lost relationships and friendships. I may not be the right person to say all this, but.. get a life! It's over. What's done is done. Getting depressed, stop eating and crying your whole heart out can never bring back the person you once lost. Simple speaking, nothing you do now will affect the other person, unless that person commits suicide.
Try looking at the bright side, you have a whole lot more to choose from as it is not the end of the world. Why cry for the person who no longer has feelings for you? Useless. It's easy to play the blame game, but we have to think about the other side as well. Their perspectives, or their way of looking at things may be different from you. Girls tend to think more complex, they tend to expect more from guys, sometimes too much, yet all they want most is someone to care for them.
Basically, love is complicated. There is no scientifically proven but, just common sense.
It is common for us to get upset at our parents, for their lack of support, lack of love and lack of trust. I wonder why must we complain about them? Why must we compare other parents' love towards other children? Why don't they trust us? They are going through life as well, just like us. I couldn't stop thinking though, I have 4 other siblings to compare with. Especially my sisters. Like what they always say, everyone is special. I don't really agree with tat, but I just say it anyway.
I went to an orphanage last week for my moral project. We had bbq and games over there. I didn't really do much compared to others, just joined the game, and talked and played with the kids. One of the kids really touched my heart, who was my 8 year old 'dance' partner.
There was an event going on near the orphanage, which was the lion dance. I think. It was then when another kid came to me, and started mumbling somethin to me. I wasn't really sure what he was talking about. It sudd came to me when my dance partner said he was afraid of the lions.
He kept on saying, "they're coming here, they're coming here" repeatedly.
I didn't know wat to do! I'm not good with kids! Tears were welling up his eyes already, and I just hugged him. He was so scared. Luckily my partner was there to help me. She was the one consoling him instead of me. Obviously he felt much relieved and she knew better than me.
The other thing was when the moment they received presents from us. I saw her looking at her bag in awe. Her eyes went huge and she was covering her mouth while looking at it. Not only that, their guardian, whom they called uncle was very friendly. I had a talk with him alone and we talked about his life and how he ended up taking care of them etc. I felt kinda sad for them for not having their parents around, but all of them had to work together and support one another.
It depends on how we look at our daily life. We make our life more complicated because we are so used to thinking that way. We are just being selfish, I know I am because anything I do, it's all about me, me and me.
Why must it always happen to me? Why am I the only one facing this problem? Why am I always so unlucky? It's just questions full of W-H-Y-s.
If we take two steps back and look at the bigger picture, we have to know that life is short. Kinda think of it, I have another 3/4 left before I actually leave the world.
