Every time people suffer a hurricane, we are compassionate but we do not feel it until it really happens to us. We were born into wealth and pleasure that allows us to pursue what defines our value beneath others' eyes instead of taking a good care of our real life and standing for what makes us happy the most. Our priority seems to be accepted, not to survive.
Our tears often drop for such a short-term lover that you have just got close, not for parents who have been dedicating all their lives to us. We are afraid of gaining some weight, not counting down each day left to live. We are picky to decide which house is more beautiful, which dress is more attractive, which hotel to depart for our upcoming trip, not go through a day without food or sleep a night without a shelter. We are worried to fail a test, not fail to hunter something for the dinner.
We might moan about our financial difficulties, breakdowns, some failing credits at school, our inability to keep pace up with the peers, suffering some broken-hearts, etc which easily leads us to dreadfully negative ideas immediately right when our anger and emotions rise to maximum. I have learned profound lessons from people surrounding me. The ones who might commit suicide after breaking up a love story, would rather wish to be dead than strive for something, always play a joke on the word "die" as if it is funny and impossible to come.
Admittedly, I was once one of them because this current life I'm leading is not what I want. Life without passion, motivation and heart was to me such a dead life that triggered countless of horrible ideas of killing myself, hiding from others for feeling ashamed of my current lower position in society compared to my peers who naturally belong to the upper class since born, masking my true identify and pretending to become someone as long as she was not me.
Nevertheless, I was wrong at all because life is not a fairy tale. Nothing in life is perfect and nothing will ever be. It is not likely that those from upper class are better than me, that putting on luxurious accessories would depict how important I am in the society, that money can buy happiness due to the fact that what we possess right now is nothing but dust when leaving this life.
The better to have a good life is to have a good heart. What makes me rejoice and cherish this life is what comes from heart, not temporarily material world that I used to worship and desire to achieve. Today I'm a billionaire but able to be a beggar tomorrow. Things dramatically change and we can't remain anything forever except who we really are. Throughout the stages since I was born until the moment I'm writing this entry, and whoever I will become in the future, it's still me after all.
To make life easy and simple is currently my priority. If life is suffering, why do we must make it harder? As we have some reason to dislike living, think of others who are bravely wrestling somewhere in the world in each breath just to survive. We are capable of living, getting served options to follow and enjoying this life in our ways, not only surviving to breathe...It's scary to think further!
God granted each individual a life, set up in different difficulties to challenge and make us grow up. Life is like a roller coaster, we can either scream every time we hit a bump or we can throw our hands up in the air and enjoy it. God always has His reason to arrange us in some certain case with a key to handle :') Find down it or not. It's up to us.
I love this life and learn to live well.
Love myself,
xoxo
Hal
