Most of us think that our lives suck and whine too much and care too little. I don't blame them, we're just human beings afterall. Me, myself can be like that at times too. But what we don't notice is that there will always be things better and worse than us. For instance, speaking from my kiddish experience, i have always been sad because i missed home. I miss home for all of the wonderful things back there. My family, those trees and everything i grew up with. Why do i feel sad? Because those times spent there can never be relived again. It can be, but only for a short while. It's such a sad thing we need to leave what we want to get what we need. In my case, a qualification of some sort to lead my life in the future, comfortably. Anyways, my point is, there's nothing much to be sad about my situation after all. I'm not the only one that has left home to reach a better place. No, there are so many others doing the same as me. And, if i miss them, i can call them, and see them occasionally. At least i get to know if they're okay. But those people who has lost everything from the cyclone, can't. How can they be just sitting around missing those people they lost when it's a fight for survival for themselves. Compared to them, I am definitely better off. (:
Everyday, they live in hope for every tomorrow. All those things that we want, they can't even think about it when the necessities are not even fulfilled. I had forgotten about the cyclone for a while, until i saw that video today. Lately, I've been feeling down due to several reasons. And again, compared to them i'm so much better off. I'm sad because of the things i want but cant get. Namely, those moments back home, those people i've lost and you of course. But I can still dream, i have hope and probably a future ahead of me. Those people, they don't. I guess we all have our own destinies after all. We can't change it, but we all can make the best out of it. How can that be achieved? Through helping hands. In one way or another we all should help and think about what will happen to us if we were ever in their position. Will we ever last till now? Who knows.
Lately, i've been trying to find reasons to make myself happy and to keep on having hope. A few days ago, i met a blind man with a guitar at the bus interchange. He has always been there, i just never payed attention to him. But that day, i did. As i walked pass him, a very beautiful melody started playing and later follows his beautiful voice. It suddenly made me stop walking and i listened to him finish the song. When the song was over, i realized it was just a beautiful melody afterall. Things don't always last, we just need to learn to cherish it while it does. We can't always be happy, we just need to go with the flow. If a blind man can see the beauty in life, why can't I? If those people can live through each and everyday to the fullest, why can't I? If they can go on living without the hope of seeing their loved ones again, why can't I? And if, they can take their destiny's cruelty, why cant i take it when you ignore me? At least, i still know you're there.(:
I feel so much better now.
Thanks you, for somehow letting me know about that video. It wasn't purposely meant for me, I know, but it helped.
Be happy,
me.
and till then,
pansy(:
