It's already night time and I'm seated outside my residence. The sky is bright, beautiful but somewhat divided. When I look up to the right, everything is pitch black. No stars, just the dark skies. Conversely, when I look up to the left, the shining stars make the skies look really beautiful. I feel somewhat tired but staring at this beautiful part of the sky makes me want to stay here a bit longer. Another thing keeping me here is this post.
Just as there are many stars in the sky, there are also a lot of humans on earth, counting in the billions. Seeing how beautiful and bright the stars shine, I can't help it but think of how beautiful human characteristics are.
In comparison, I think humans are like the skies I just described. A part of us are beautiful, bright, kind, caring, warm, welcoming and very accommodating. But another part of us is quite different from the first part that I just described. It's interesting how multi-sided we, humans can be. Good and bad. Beautiful and ugly.
I have a lot of ranting and talking to do. The many scattered topics in my head is making it difficult to collect my thoughts and mentally compile it into understandable terms. I'm overthinking, brain's running on fumes but I don't think I'll fry my motherboard.
I don't really see the reason of going to war with another country and cause great destructions. What's the point of it? Why destroy each other for oil, natural resources or territorial gains? Welp, I guess we're humans, two sided I must say. One side is as dark as the described part of the sky while the other shines bright within the darkness (sometimes). We fight, kill, destroy but against all odds, we love, care, and rebuild.
The healthy poor man says: I wish I can be that rich man that has everything he wants. The cars, the riches, the name and the fame. While the unhealthy rich man says, I wish I can be as healthy as that man walking on the streets. He probably don't have diabetes, he could get enough rest and sleep at night. He share a good bond with his family and loved ones and he is happier even though he has little.
Being contented with what you have is actually a very importante thing in life. I'm not saying that people should relax in poverty. No. I'm saying that we should learn how to cherish the moment. Enjoy what we have. Emerse ourselves in it as much as we can because we don't know what may happen tomorrow.
The poor man thought he needed all the wealth in the world, not knowing that he already has all he could ever wish for - time, loved ones, good bonds, and ultimately, peace and happiness. All he could do at this juncture is to appreciate what he has while looking for ways to stack more, not wish to be another person. The weight in that other person shoulder may be impossible for the wisher to carry.
Everyday, we meet people who - from our perspective, are either good or bad. However, from my perspective, I don't really think there's anything like a good person or a bad person. Instead, it's all about what the society created.
From my perspective, I see people as a blank page. The things which people exhibit in life are the things that are consciously, subconsciously or unconsciously written in their page by the people around them, the society. A good person is made by the society. A bad person is also made by the society. It all depends on what the society (both parents, siblings, relatives, extended family, friends e.t.c) wrote on his or her blank page.
