so often we simply envy over things people have;
peach shape face,
pretty countenance,
curvy figure,
hairstyle that grow the way you wanted it,
higher intellect,
better socialising skills,
amiable characters,
flawless traits,
wider social circle,
wealthier background etcetc.
the list doesnt exhaust in our entire life.
the more we own, the more we crave for.
its like that kenesian theory, the demand theory.
demand creates supply, though the monetarians will not agree.
and thats how we usually overlook the nano things we already should be content with.
we are constantly reminded of how fortunate we are than 2million others who are trying hard to survive on that damn poverty line.
and that number is in fact, sadly, increasing as i blog now.
but then, people dont see it.
we could have all see it in another perspective, perhaps.
that living in such a practical society has its flaws as well.
but comparing to basic necessity not being able to fulfil everyday?
i guess we all know the hunger pangs we endure for 5minutes is enough for us to whine and complain the whole time until its filled.
what for 24hours? what for 4weeks? what for 12months?
what for the rest of your life?
im inspired mostly i guess by my secsch math teacher.
he contacted his friend(doctor) and some other passionate friends to construct schools in changmai.
i've always like doing volunteering, and it just grew ever since.
and as a teacher, he could go there to educate the next generation.
and education indeed, is the most practical source to escape poverty.
rahter than pursuing a degree for my-self, i really like travelling and understand cultures out there, and not forgetting, helping for a greater cause.
hmm, how people could be so selfless in life.
indeed, i would want to travel capturing meaning in people's life. thats for a selfish cause.
but i do want to travel to less fortunate countries and do what i can.
and right now, it all seems too soon to sprout all of these aspirations.
oh well.
maybe its time to.
