- A BED OF ROSES -
Do you feel that sometimes people make their lives SO melancholic? As you stand by and watch them, you feel that you are watching a sad play that have no ending or worse still, so sad that it just makes you want to laugh?
Well, I have.It is really FUNNY the way some people view their lives. They think that fate is playing a cruel joke on them and they blame fate and they cry out loud, voicing out their unhappiness to whoever they think would listen. Silence, I think is usually the best way to deal with such people. As the saying goes, you rather keep quiet and pretend to be dumb then open your mouth to admit that you are a FOOL.
Just that day, I was walking past a tutorial room when the door opened and I saw my friend coming out. The moment she saw me, she produced a great whining sound and said “It is the unluckiest day of my life! I don’t know what I did to deserve this! It is so unfair, even fate is not on my side! Look at this!”
Thrusting her hand right into my face, I found out within a second what the cause of her great distress was. A broken nail. I can understand why she was so upset. After all, she took 2 weeks to grow her nails to the desirable length and she is suffering from an incurable disease that stops the growth of nails FOREVER once they have been broken.
Really, only the first part of the previous sentence is true.
So big yet so small. This is how I feel people view their problems nowadays. As the Chinese say, there will always be a mountain that is higher than another. Therefore I feel that whatever problems we may face, we have got to take it in our stride. Spending time grumbling about the problem will not solve the problem; it just makes it seem larger than life. So why waste unnecessary time?
Easily from this entry today, you can probably see that I don’t view life as a bed of roses because I know it will never be one. Instead what I will do is work towards my ultimate goal of making my bed one that is full of carpet grass.Well, at least they don’t have thorns and I know that it is the fruit of my labour. *Winks*
