sometimes i don't even know what i'm saying...
i often contradict myself To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour. ~ william blake ~ |
Tuesday, October 03, 2006'appreciate what you have and do your best for a better world'
take a look...
http://www.miniature-earth.com i know that i'm more fortunate than many, many more in the rest of the world but why am i still not contended? while there are people out there without jobs, struggling and surviving on only $1/day, i'm lamenting that my air-conditioned office job sucks cos i'm no longer getting any satisfaction, etc even though it pays my bills. including broadband so that i can access the internet and read all about the depressing state of the world. by right, it should enlighten me on how lucky i am. by left, it just means the abyss just got deeper. i'm passive. i'm no activist. what's the best i can do to make it a better world? quit my job (i'm unhappy anyway), pack my bags and go out to third world countries to champion their cause? hah. i'm a coward. so i guess that's not going to happen. donate more $$? i'm cynical as to how much of the moolah actually goes to those who really need it and not to some corporate bureacracy. maybe i should just start by complaining less? there's a nagging sense of guilt within me. but what's even worse is that i know that most probably by tomorrow, much of that guilt would have dissipated. and i would be back to complaining & whining about everything else. we are (it could be just me) really difficult to please. argh. agonies of life. like what i've said (posted) earlier, perhaps ignorance is truly bliss. |
