Why is finding a balance in anything so difficult?
Take good and bad for an example. Why do people only look at the good aspects whereas they overlook the bad side or even choose to look at it in disgust. It indeed is difficult, striking a balance in everything. Why can't we treat everything equally? I admit I am not a saint. I still fall into the same hole everyone falls into. I am only human.
Just applied for NUS not long ago. I take it as a 0.001% chance in continuing the race. I look at education as a race now.. Just like the rest. I don't want to lose out. Education is supposed to EDUCATE. That is it's purpose. Not perfect results, the jobs we get, nor the salary we draw. As what I discussed with Goose, people no longer look at the values behind things. They look for material things instead. Soon the world will be rid of values because of the practical monetary reasons which they think are important. What about the meaning of life? What about being human? What about our close ones? What about those who have yet experiance what we think is life but in actual fact might not be?
We got to hang on to our beliefs. I think that is what we live for. Our so called "values", whatever it may be. Hold on my friends. Embrace life itself. Think of ourselves being fortunate enough, having the chance to think, feel, and most importantly live. We must first appreciate the basics before we learn to appreciate the rest.
I think I'm just being shallow. I should give myself a slap and tell myself to wake up and see the world in it's true form again.
Till then.
