stop thinking "sian" like all the jaded people out there... you are alive, you are sentient, you probably are able-bodied... these are blessings!!
think of the poor souls in places like Angola, Sierra Leone or those who live in the garbage mountains in the poorest places in the world...
if they struggle to make their own lives worth something, think of what you have here.. how can you do any less?
tt is my point abt i know i being luckier compared to alot of ppl out there.
but the truth is, how much satisfaction and happiness can one derive by thinking tt he or she is luckier than the ppl living in misery somewhere else on earth? would an unemployed yet still surviving person in singapore think he/she is much luckier than those poor souls and thus become happy? sad (or not) thing is no. we dun make comparisons wif something/someone who is not close to our own standards (in all aspects). we make comparisons wif ppl / places closer to us.
but in the end my unhappiness (or happiness for tt matter) is not cos i was comparing myself wif someone else regardless of where he/she is. its cos of my own situation, myself, some within my control, some not. and no matter how hard i try to imagine how luckier i am to alot more ppl in this world or even this country, i cant make myself happier wif such thoughts.
suffice to say im here oni to rant and vent some frustrations...
and the fact tt i can actualli do tt already means im luckier than yet somemore ppl who has no such channel to vent their anger yet maintain their anonymity.
but so?
apologies... but when one is down, everything he sees r grey.
