Why.

i am so inspired by simmy's blog! it was so well-written. that is why. KEKEKE. u dont need to guess whats happening.
i dont know why other people or even myself sometimes care about superficial things, like getting new phones, new clothes, new everything. Maybe it's just cos of the CPR and first aid course today that made me really go deeper into the point, but it has been a touchy subject in me since last year. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime. This is a painful truth that everyone has to accept and take it.
Imagine one day; you see your mom on the chair, when she suddenly collapses to the ground. And then what do you do? Do you keep thinking about what your dinner will be like? Instead you should be thinking what you should be doing. Get 995! Perform DRABCH! CPR!
I want to be a counselor. I want to light a spark in each and every person. I want to inspire people. WHen I go to University I don't want to study Finance, like Liting, or Computers or Engineering or Business Managing, like my dad wants me to. I don't want to be involved in those, because they are all superficial things of a country. Look at Singapore. It's not how big it is that determines her rise and fall. The economy doesn't improve just because the government had some reclaimed land! It depends on the morale of SIngaporeans; how hard they work.
I want to give people the feeling, the way I do when Jessica got her morale from me (Jessie from NZ =)) just by dropping a short note on her inbox, and it only took me ten minutes or so to write the message. It took me a lot of thinking to push her and motivate her, but I didnt have to take three hours, I didn't have to spend any money, I didn't have any reclaimed land or money or possession! It was just from my heart. It was what I thought. It was what first came to mind, and now we Jessicas are still the goodies who come together every month online to just talk, even though we have different time zones. I like the feeling, when I finally help another of my kind release herself from all those things, and float in what I had to say. I didn't spend any money at all, and I earned myself a good friend instead.
I don't want to counsel for money. All those children, the abandoned ones. Why are they despised? Why are they outcasted in some societies? Are you not all also children? Do you not have the same beating heart? DO you not also have hands, mouths, noses, eyes and ears? WHy are they less treated than those rich kids? Is it because they are abandoned, or they're bad or naughty, that you give up on them and simply leave them to be wanderers? Why are they not treated the same as others? Does being abandoned or left by mean that they are at fault, or does that mean they deserve less treatment? What is all of THAT? What is it that makes you take one glance at person and diagnose her as a 'less-privileged' person and therefore refuse to be friendly with her? Are you being friendly with yourself, then? We are all humans. Have you realised that?
I want to settle down somewhere, a world without distractions, like without money. Maybe by 25 I could settle down in San Fransisco with my love, and not live in those rich, classy places, because money is too often a distraction. I will open a counseling centre, especially for children, because they are the angels of God, they are those who will in future lead the world. Without humans reproducing, the world will not exist. I will open a nursing centre, taking in all the abandoned children, those not even barely 2 months old. I will care for them, because they, like us, deserve a place in this world. They too deserve life. They, no matter where they are from or how they look like, are also part of our society. Why is that we shoo them away, without even knowing how they are inside? Is it only the superficial, outside things that count? Is it that if I'm fat, I am ugly, inside and outside?
SO why do people care about such superficial things like that, when others don't even have the privilege to achieve one. WHy is it that I care so much about changing my handphone to a newer brand, when I know that there are kids out there who might be dying of some disease, starvation or thirst? Why do I even hate vegetables when there are kids out there who do not even have food. THey have to eat tree bark. If you are fussy about those, think about the kids in poor countries. They do not have proper hygiene. Diseases spread so easily, in maybe an hour or two, and we can get treatments for those with a doctor's trip 5 minutes away from home?
WHy do we care about shopping for some superficial things? It's what's inside that counts. Think about what other people are experiencing while you complain. You complain that your bed is too hard, or soft, when people dont even have roofs over their heads.
