Moderating Life

nobody knows you unless you say 'hi' or you've done something great in life. appear in box office movie, shot a criminal, won the elections or you've got lots of money. in this world, let alone singapore, there are millions of people and there is only a handful of people that you know closely.

you walk down orchard road and everybody is living their own life. they only care for what concerns them. if GST goes up, they complain. if the road is blocked and they have to take a detour, they complain. if a political party you dislike wins elections, you complain. if hookers came around your neighbourhood, you complain even though there are married men that visit them. see the irony. complain when there's people around but enjoy it in silence. i can't understand the fact why people complain so much and there's nothing they will do about it. just live their lives. how will complaining help if you don't do anything to contribute to society.

i have finally come to understand that we live in a society that cannot accept differences or something unusual. we live such that we have to suit to other people's preference. if you are non-smoker, you cannot have smokers as friends. if you are gay, you are not my friend. if you are handsome, you are my friend. if a stranger says hi to you, that's weird. if a celebrity says hi to you, that's awesome.

the wishful thought in my head that DNA could control characteristics, we would be living a perfect world. we would have the perfect family, the perfect work, the perfect friends, the perfect environment. the perfect life.
