Appreciation For The Many

It's not like everyone was born into this world full of skepticism and hatred. As we were pulled into the society, we then had fresh minds and positive-yet-naive thoughts. Who could have thought that we'd actually consider the sun had two eyes and a mouth that would smile when it was up in the sky? Or that constellations in the sky would actually have lines drawn between points for us to recognize what they were?

Reality doesn't stick to unicorns and fairy-tales as much as some of us want them to. Though we have our ideas of what we want, there are always times when most of us think only of our own four walls and forget that the world might actually be a better place if we recognize that there's still a floor and a ceiling, making it six sides in all. You see, no matter what angle you take your picture of life, there will always be more than what you originally thought of.

When you see a classmate get a 98 of 100 score on the latest exam, while you only got a mere 57, you have to recognize that your classmate might have just aimed at getting a perfect score, ultimately falling short of it. To the general public, what he got is a diamond, something far reachable than what the average person can usually get. And perhaps this is what we all should have in our mind - aim high, then hit big. You've already deprived yourself the chance to win it big when you don't even aspire to be there in the first place.

It pays to see the positive side of things. It's a path that's not taken as much as you think it is, and even that is still an unclear proposition. However, learn to appreciate what others do out of service, out of pure initiative, and out of goodwill.

Making black propaganda just for the sake of it only proves one irony that your life is currently experiencing - that you're not doing anything interesting, and you actually want people to care about you. Pathetic.
