I often wonder how many of us think that our lives really suck bad because someone dumped us,the person we like does not like us in return,or that our parents dont give us enough money to spend or maybe even some girls may be in despair because they think that their rack is not big enough.Do we really think our live is in the dumps just because we cannot find the right clothes to wear to prom?Or do we try to fit into the cool crowd or like my friend calls,the superfakes to feel that our live is good.I just think that having lived in Singapore,in our own sheltered lives, we are all so naive and narrow minded to the extent of being selfish and backstabbing.

Until now,I was guilty of that to a certain extent.Some people may say to a large extent.haha.But look around us.Children in Philipines are born in dumps called the Smoky Mountains because there is always fires that occur from the naturally combustable methane gases emitted from the MOUNTAIN of rubbish.Although Smoky Mountains is no more,there is another place in Manila called Payattas,where again,kids stay amongst rubbish,create a living for themselves and their family amongst the rubbish.They have no education and can only dream of living a life that we live and often complain about.Or even street kids whose home is the street.Some of them have no chance of having a home and some of us dont even want to go home when it is time to go home.How about orphans in Russia?All of them are skin and bones from the day that they are abandoned.They are malnourished because of the lack of food and nutrition.While on the other hand we would rather consume junk food which has absolutely no nutrition at all or think the food we eat at home sucks.You definitely wont believe all I say until you see it for youself.Until we have seen it for ourselves,we will keep thinking that the world revolves around us and keep living our own little selfish lives.Wake up and just look around.Not everything is about you.
