Life

I'm sitting here thinking about the past and the present and it brings back the memory that I've shared with people close to me or those who aren't close to me. It makes me realized that no matter how hard life treated me, it is still not as bad as what those around me have to endure. I've come to a point that I'm such a lucky person after all. I have not come from a rich family nor from a well educated family. I should say that my family is well below the average family of my friends but then when it comes to happiness, it seems that my family is the strongest among my friends' families. I grew up in a different environment with different thinking and I'm starting to appreciate life that I've to endure growing up during my childhood. I don't moan and whine about life now because it is far more better than what I've used to get when I was a child. But then, a lot of people around me especially my own friends doesn't seem to appreciate on what they have. Don't they realize that they are so lucky? That they have everything there provided by their parents without having to work hard for it? And still it is not enough? What more do they want? A close friend of mine for instance, has everything prepare for her by her parents but then still she's not happy because she is so busy chasing the notion of being in love that she completely forget to appreciate those who are close to her. It is so hard for me to understand how people will go to the extreme just to get the attention so that people will pity them and treat them like a fragile person when in truth they don't actually deserve it. I don't understand why people like to be pitited and treated like a disable person when in fact they are not. Is pity such a very important element in life for survival? Pity from others is what you need for survival? These things can leave me speechless sometime and I have no word of comment when it will be thrown my way, that I'm unable to give a piece of advice when it will be asked from me. You know, these people around me who still seek for something when it is already there really should open their mind and eyes, I'm tired of watching them making a drama out of their own life. I can only hope that they will realize this, I have done my part but I guess in the end the decisions are in their own hands. God bless them.
