Of haters leaving hate messages under a false nick, etc
Jamie Yeo - My world is a great place already. I have been blessed with spiritual, intellectual and material elements in my life. Of course, there are always things I want/lust for, like everyone else. A big glassy house in Bt Timah, a new Chanel bag, new Prada boots, etc. The list is clearly long but that is also half of the problem. I think as humans, we always want more and once we get something we want, we quickly get used to it and want something else. That is why I don't really want to say that my world would be a better place if I had any type of new accessory. It wouldn't be. It would also be a lie to say that my world would be much improved by peace in the Gaza strip or in Afghanistan. While I feel bad for what is going on there, in truth, it doesn't impact on my life here in Singapore. I do truly feel that the wars we fight are terrible and only seem to reward the few and undeserving. In truth my world and the world would be a better place if people cared more about others then they cared about themselves. I know what you are thinking and you are right, I am not one of those selfless people and nor are any of you. In fact there are very few people like that and even then, you can argue that there is no such thing as true altruism. Still, it is clear in my mind that unless people are selfless, we will never live in a better world. We will just continue to live in the ebb and flow of positive and negative experiences and I am not being a harbinger of doom and gloom, I believe that sometimes practically speaking, you need negative to appreciate the positive in your life and as long as the positive outweighs the negative, you are doing pretty ok. Recently some people have been saying negative stuff behind my back. I thought they were friends but then through third parties found out that it was not really the case. Another thing, some months ago, someone (under a false nick) left a nasty comment about me touching up my pictures, etc on my starblog. After much investigation which included tracing the culprit's IP address (let's just say I've got my connections), I've found out it's another starblogger on this STOMP site, which I've suspected all along. This person is the most plastic person inside and outside I've ever encountered in my life. Go figure. I know, how incredibly nasty and mean can someone get!? This is what led me to write the above. Why is it that people get off on tearing other people down? Why are we friendly and false to someone's face and then when they are out of earshot we start assassinating their character. I know I have been guilty of it myself. I am sure we all have. My boyfriend says that relationships are about giving, not taking. You can extend this to all your relationship, social one or work ones. Imagine how much more fulfilling your day would be if people were only out help you along the way, improve your experience and do the right things by you and vice versa. My world WILL, instead of WOULD, be a better place would have been a better topic. We have no time to sit around, moan and wait for things to happen to us. I will make my world a better place by taking my own advice, watching my tongue and being more selective with whom I hang out and being more perceptive to the needs of the people I love. |
