地球加油, 人類加油
I am not getting emo here. But it is really quite depressing to keep hearing news about disasters happening around in this world. All of us live in the same world, but why is it that only some parts of the world keep experiencing natural disasters? While other parts like us here can live comfortably and still make a lot of noises about every small thing? I can't help to tear when I read about the 8.7 earthquake that happened just a few moments ago. Reason, I feel so guilty of living comfortably here, laughing and talking away, while other people, near to us, may be running for their lives? How contradicting it is? What have I done to live in such a safe environment, having almost everything I need and forever yearning for things that I want? And what have such other people have done to deserve such lives, of worrying for the basic needs and safety of their lives? Sometimes I wished that such things, like natural disasters do pertain to us as well, this may make this world more equal, this may make us cherish more, this may make us complain less.
Everything seems so normal and usual now. But just imagine our same kind in Indonesia, or any other where, worrying for their safety, trying to run for their lives. Why do I deserve to be so safe and sound here? The world is so unfair. Yes, we complain the world is unfair, because some are just born pretty and rich, some are clever, some are poor, etc. But we should all realise that these are actually tiny things in life that makes us different. The world is unfair, as some are born in a dangerous and perilous place, some need to constantly worry for their lives, worry for necessities like food and water, and some are just so lucky to be born with a silver spoon, or at least in a place that he/she need not worry about surviving. Yes, u may be poor, u may need to support yourself, you may not be clever or pretty enough, you may not be welcomed or well liked. But so? Yes but so? U can change all of these as long as u are willing to. These are things that you can change, just whether you want it or not. You know you will not go hungry as long as you work, you will do better in sch as long as u put in enough effort etc. But what about those who try hard to breathe but doesn't even have the chance to do so?
Perhaps we, (and me) should think more about how lucky we are and stop complaining about every little thing.
Everything I have now seems so contradicting, and I am really wondering hard what have I done to deserve all these? I am just getting so upset by all these news happening around us. The world is struggling, a lot of ppl are struggling. We are not. Oh maybe struggling with minor stuffs like work, exam, school? So how are these difficulties as compared to those? I don't dare to complain out loud now. We are not fit to do so. If only being exposed to such disasters will enable us to cherish and think more, I hope we are all exposed to these. Not that I want anyone near me to suffer such pain, I just want everyone to be more contented with our lives. Perhaps, being just contented with what we have now equals to no aspirations or no goals, but the world isn't the same now right? What kind of world are we living in now?
2012 may not be the end of world. But it is nowhere far I believe. The world is no longer the same old beautiful place we read in books or see in dramas. Everything and everyone is getting twisted, values are no longer uphold as it supposed to be, everyone is getting more cynical and skeptical about everything. Is it really a nice place to live in now? I supposed not.
