Fight.
July 13, 2009
They say humans usually fight for power and resources.
And this is true.
BUT do we really need to fight for power? Is it really that important? The only one you should fight against is yourself. Know who you are, what you love/love to do, and what makes you happy. Is “beating” someone in sports bring you into tears of joy? Does going into a better college than your friend matter? No. Maybe they do bring you happiness, but competition amongst others can’t fulfill your life. It’s what YOUR dreams are and what you want to do. If you want to get into a state college and it happens, you might be happier than one that’s going to Harvard. You never know.
So why be mean? Are we really fighting against each other? The only person you’re fighting against is yourself. So make the right choices. Give a helping hand to someone with needs, whether its someone with a disease, giving your seat up for an elder, helping one upload homework, or even just smiling at one. These are the little aspects that can even make a difference in YOUR life.
These days all we think about is ourselves. Community service…for college and it makes us feel good. Studying…for college. Sports…for college. Helping an elder…people stare at you. Everything is for the benefit for us–is there true altruism that is innate? We shall stop thinking about the words “ME” and “I” for once and help others. That’s what true happiness is about, isn’t it?
Don’t satisfy yourself for others or to make it easier to live life in the future. It’s fun taking risks instead of going “the easy way.” You’re not trying to stand out amongst an audience; you’re only competition is you and what you’re capable of.
We, humans, have become spoiled. And I mean MAJOR.
So my new project is to help the ones that need it. Today I told a friend that I’ll help him upload his English paragraphs on a website with my i.d., since he didn’t make one and is going to America soon.
These little things you do for people make the biggest differences. These are the things we should focus on.
NO karma.
ENOUGH SAID.
