I don't know why but I was thinking about this on my way back from the mrt station. Is life fair or unfair?
Sometimes, when you're in such bad luck or in a foul mood, you think to yourself, why do others lead a better life than me? why am I so suay? Like how some people are born with such good brains they don't even have to study and can get good results. Or rather, they are so hardworking and intelligent they can just do it, while people like me can't. That was how I felt for the past few days while mugging for my test.
But then again, if you think about it, life can be fair too. Nobody can have everything. Someone may be good in studies as well as CCA or whatever, but he may not be able to excel in other expects, such as having good EQ and good friends. That person may suck at handling relationships with others, so what's the point of having such high IQ?
And if you think about it even more, there can never be a basis of comparison between you and others. You are born in a totally different environment as others. Nobody lives the exact same life as you, no one is born with the same parents and go through the same thing every day. If you envy the rich people, think about the people who are suffering in other countries, such as the poor kids in Africa who are starving. (they may be scared by the ooga oogas as well!)
And if you are ever stressed by studies, think about the people who don't even have the opportunity to receive education. They are not even sure they can survive if they're down with diseases or going through some kind of famine.
Of course, the rich ppl are like qian bian as well. Everyone envies them. They do not need to work and can enjoy all the luxuries. But have u ever watched shows showing how the kids who are born in a rich family who are unable to have care from their parents? Like, their parents are so busy they hardly have any chances to spend time with their kids. I don't know how accurate this is, but I'm sure to a certain extend it can be true. So what's the point of having everything in the world but unable to get close to even your family, who is supposed to be the ones you can turn to at any time?
So I guess you can never really compare yourself to others, although we can't help but do so most of the time. But I feel that you can never compare yourself with others, because everyone is different. You may lack what others have, but at the same time they envy you for certain things as well. So just appreciate what you have. Anything at all. Like being able to LMAO or eat all the good food. Others may not even have the opportunity to do so.
Random entry, but yeah just some thoughts. Haha.
