there was a time, when people said that Singpaore wouldnt make it, but we did.
there was a time, when trouble seemed so much for us to take, but we did.

these two lines mean quite a bit.
to me going through stupid exams shizz.
i may be innocent and silly most of the time.
but it doesnt mean im ignorant.

its not right to screw someone's life just cause she/he crossed you.
cause you never know what nonsense she/he goes through.
i mean, on the surface it might seem that all's fine and dandy, but theres always a side to a person that wont be shown to the general public. it is that hidden burden that might eventually be the cause of certain mishaps or failing points, and these could be triggered by anything. it is wrong to assume that people born in rich families have no problems whatsoever, or that every problem they have can be easily solved by cold hard cash.

problems differ. take for example a person in some rural african town may be facing problems of starvation. life and death problems and doesnt even have money to supply their basic needs. to the world, that is a major kind of problem that is being focussed on right now. starvation and malnutrition, communicable disease and aids, it has been on the discussion platter of world organisations for a long long time and not much have been done to salvage anything. on the flipside, a rich kid born and bred in a wealthy area grows up ignorant about the plight of others in less well to do areas, he is unknowing about such hardships that face people just cause he has never been exposed to it, having lived in comfort and shelter all his life. but does that make him any more well off than those people?

on the surface of the materialistic world, yes, maybe. but look inside his heart, the material comfort that he has could have came at the expense of parental love, which he severly lacks. to an impressionable child, what he sees is what he becomes, and grows up not having that littel something, and although he ultimately becomes some successful businessman in some cases, there is a void in his heart he does not know about and unwittingly, passes this lifestyle on to his future children as he knows not what true love is. he is rich, but also poor and lacking. yet for a family facing poverty together, they learn to rely on one another to press on in life and they choose to survive by encircling each and every family member with love and support all the way, to make the most out of what they have and take it and run with it. to them, they might be poor, but they are rich, not of money, but of happiness.

im not passing judgement on anybody here but it is just the stand i choose to take in life. i cannot say that i do not judge, unconciously, and in the spur of the moment, sometimes i do. but through and through, i always regret. for when you judge others, you know not of how many others out there who in turn will point a finger at you.
