blogging

I think I have a lot of thoughts, but I'm just too lazy to jot them down.
They come and go.
Some stay.
But they disappear while I poop.

So while it's still fresh, here's what I want to say:

If we stop comparing, we'd be happier people.

If we stop comparing ourselves to people with better grades, better looks or better financial statuses, we'll be contented with what we have because why do we need so much for?
We only need enough to survive.

North Korea:
They've got no access to the outside world. They don't know what's it like out of their own country. But guess what? They're contented because they can survive. There's food (albeit not abundant) on the table, there's water to bathe in, there's a roof to keep them safe.

We all have these basic necessities but why are we still so unhappy with our life?

"They've got lower taxes"
"She's got a better nose than I do"
"I'm not getting an A"

Why don't we just live with what we have and be happy about it?

Answer's simple.
Nothing's ever enough.

You can never get the best grade.
Neither can you get the best looks.
Even more impossible, you can never earn the most.

That's why we're not happy.
We want such a perfect life that is impossible to attain.
We're so unhappy with where we are at when we are already so much more fortunate that we can survive each day and see the next day's sunrise.

That itself,
should be life's greatest treasure.

Yes,
I am unhappy with my life.
But I was happier than I was yesterday and I will be happier tomorrow than I am today.

After I graduate, I'm going to live my life.
I'm going to live the life.
And I won't stop, even for a second, to mourn or envy others because I know, that there's more than just comparing yourself with someone who seems 'better'.

There's no one 'better' than you. You are you and you can't just rank a person because we are all different, we want different things, we feel differently.

After all,
the person that you see up there, might not be the happiest person alive.
You are.
If you let yourself be.
