I know there are many things in the world that could be changed. Many circumstances that we wish wouldn't happen to any of us or anyone else. There is so much sadness, unhappiness, disparity, rejection, hurt, unfairness and so so so much more negativity. The rich are selfish and the poor, dying.
But being where we are right now, or more I say for myself, who am I to complain about what I don't have. Who am I to complain about the education system, the weather etc that I'm experiencing. Of course so many a times, due to humans' selfish nature, I do wish for many many things. For beauty, wealth, intelligence. I guess I won't say we are 'not allowed' to have such desires, but more that in spite having such thoughts, instead of harping over and over again, maybe we should take a step back and really be thankful.
I speak for myself that I am guilty of taking what I have for granted. The roads that I walk on, the transport that I can readily take and truly, as we take one step back and push our problems aside, there is beauty in this world.
I'm not saying that we live in oblivion where we see the world as a bed of roses. There are many social issues around the world that need to be dealt with, that need to be eradicated. Honestly, despite wanting to do so much, and feeling so much for the less fortunate around the world, I am guilty for not taking much action. But that is one major goal I wish to achieve for myself. But what I really hope is that more awareness on poverty, gender inequality, education and more , can be advocated and raised.
I'm not trying to sound or be noble or anything of that sort cos I'm definitely nowhere near there, but I just hope that instead of always looking towards fame, fortune and power, maybe we should leave that little bit of space in our hearts and mind for people less fortunate than us. Instead of just sharing posts about war, and feeling for the needy at that moment when we read a post/article, why not we spread the word and step by step, build ourselves to do something better for others. If every one of us more fortunate ones, can do a little bit on our part instead of hating life and wasting our lives away because it is the 'feeling of the moment', because hating everyone is 'cool', I think the world would be a better place.
I know because I'm blessed, that what I wish for may be an ideal, but it is not coming out from a point where I think I'm better than anyone else. No, I am equally guilty. But I just feel that as a society, we have taken many things for granted, and have become more selfish and heartless, which I hope will not continue.
